Dear Jerry Richardson, Peter Karmanos and Michael Jordan,

Thank you for another year of depressing professional sports teams in the Carolinas. We know that you think that we, as fans, should be happy that you have graced our region with your presence. It was such a risk for you guys to choose to establish your teams in two of the fastest growing metropolises in the country. :sosp: But, you'll forgive us if we expect more than perrinial ineptitude with the occasional playoff run. (No, Michael, last year doesn't count for you.)

Jerry, you have brought us to the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. But, lately, its been much more low than high. We wanted to believe you when you said you would bring a Lombardi Trophy to the Carolinas within ten years. Its been 15 years and, although we have come close at times, your team is so far removed from its fleeting glory that it has become unrecognizable.

Peter, you did manage to bring us a Stanley Cup in the post-lockout season. Your crimes are different than the others. You continually field teams that are good enough to compete and make a run. The problem with you is that, regardless of talent, your teams start off like poo every year. You waste away talent on teams that under-perform until about February, when they make a run that gets our hopes up, only to choke when it counts.

Michael, just stop. Yes, you made the playoffs last year. But, being swept in the first round is more embarrassing than not making it all. Couple that with the fact that you continually trade away what few good players we have, only to get nothing in return. Congratulations, you have managed to make a professional sports team, in the largest city in the region, into the 13th most popular team in the Carolinas, behind the Panthers, Tarheel basketball, Duke basketball, Carolina Hurricanes, NC State football, Clemson football, University of South Carolina football, Wake Forest Basketball, App State football, UNC football, NC State basketball and the Durham Bulls.

So please guys, if it is not too much trouble, could you please try a little harder in the hopes that, one day, the Carolinas can stop being the laughing stock of professional sports.

Sincerely,

Your Fans

Maybe trading down will help ignite that excitement.

The parallels are kind of striking:

Trading away the Fan Favorites: Gerald Wallace/Ray Whitney/Chris Harris

The Salary Dumps: Chandler/Peppers/Corvo(kinda)

The youth movement Skinner/Henderson/Gettis

But hopefully, they all come together and dominate soon for a combined 9 championships.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
