Jadeveon Clowney upset about being released

[WarPanthers89]

“I got a sense then they wanted me out of the building,” Clowney said. “I was just like, ‘Y’all could’ve told me this back when I was coming in here during the offseason.’ I kind of had a sense, though. I’ve been around the game long enough to know, so I was OK.”

I wonder why he got a sense they wanted him out of the building…..it’s because of his sh*tty attitude. Go back and listen to him talking about our QBs leadership skills (to the media) when he was just signed to the team and hadn’t even had time to gel with his teammates (all players know you don’t say things like that to the media….you keep it in the locker room). History repeats itself. He’s a player who is decent, gets signed to a team, they get tired of his attitude, and he’s on to another team one year later

Not enough talent to overcome the drama, I suppose.

It ain't a talent issue. Dude's talent was off the charts. Just seems like he never had the drive to be great. Was always willing to just rest in his talent and settle for being good. He definitely COULD'VE been great.

He's still a good player and he's right, he did play well for us. The organization is simply doing what is best for them long-term, just like any company would.

That really doesn't sound like he's upset, just saying he can still play

[SOJA]

from a football perspective I think releasing him was the wrong move

That being said Clowney has always seemed to have an attitude that rubs people the wrong way. I mean how many teams has he been on at this point? 

My bet is that the Panthers actually didn't want him mentoring the young guys and now we have space to sign a FS. do not kill me gamecocks fans this has nothing do with your fine university 

We'll see how that works out bc that edge room looks very very iffy

He's a rotational pass rusher on the worst defense in the NFL.  We're not missing much by letting him go.  Later dude.

Clowney's resume reads:

Hit a Michigan RB really hard that one time. Drafted #1 overall. Never had a double digit sack season. Started on the worst defense in NFL history. Oh, did I mention he got a Michigan RB really hard that one time?

He had big potential 10 years ago.  Now he's just an average NFL pass rusher with an attitude problem.

Cry me a river.

 

This lazy bum has been useless since his  second year at SC.

Exactly. He has made a literal multi contract career off of one hit, hope, and his God given measurables.

That's what he always was.

I was unaware of the idea he doesn't have a good attitude. I liked the idea of keeping the veteran aspect of the depth but if it wasn't a positive influence then that is different.

I am interested to see what they might do now.
