Every question asked was stupid or common sense.

"do you like run blocking" (no dummy, but it's my job),

"how would it feel to be 3-0 at home" (ummm better than 2-1),

"can you use Diggs aggression against him" (ummmm like in what way, like put a banana peel on the field, hope he doesn't see it and slips on it?).

And then obviously Newton's lack of knowledge XL's father passing. 

Hard to believe there are journalism schools out there, and this is what they produce. 

I'm pretty sure it's 90% because he went to Wofford lol, not really known as a top journalism school but was probably good enough for Jerry to get an alumni a job.

It wasn’t exactly like he got a top job in journalism. I mean, they are sportswriters.  He is more like the redneck Ray Barone than Woodward and Bernstein.

Oh I know, I'm just replying to the person who assumed he went to "journalism school" lol. He can barely spell/form a proper sentence vocally or on paper but here we are over a decade in with this guy...

Pretty insane that the beat reporter for the Carolina Panthers didn’t know that XL’s parents both died while he was in HS. That’s a horrific fact about XL’s life that has been brought to the public’s attention countless times during the pre-draft process, post-draft process and so on. We have to have the worst beat reporters in the NFL.

In that clip the ladies obviously picked up on it and at least took him out of that awkward situation to move the focus onto some things more jovial since Newton ruined the whole thing from the start.

Not sure what's worse, a beat writer not having any idea about it or a beat writer having actually written about it and then completely forgetting. I wouldn't be surprised if he's using ChatGPT to generate most of the crap he writes.

I'm going to give him a pass. It wasn't a prepared question, XL mentioned his dad being a cowboys fan and Newton just threw back a follow up question. Should he have remembered yeah but its not like he prepared the question. It's like someone mentioning their parent and your immediate response is oh yeah how's your dad doing?

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers.

      Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
