Commentary Bias?

These past few weeks I've been on both the Cardinals forum and Packers forum, and every time I look on their boards to see how they felt about the game, their fans are complaining about bad commentary. How it seems they are bias towards Newton and the Panthers.

Okay first of all, this rookie has been impressive. Of course they are going to be interested in the things he is doing after an unprecendented off-season. This guy is setting records and looks to be the next big QB in the league.

Second of all, people need to get over who is commentating their games, and that goes for some of you in here as well. (I say this in love.:D ) I could care less if Lou Holtz was broadcasting our games, I don't turn on the tv to hear people commentate, I turn it on to watch the game. You think I care if they get my players' names wrong? If we become a great team and stay on this track we are going in getting better, everyone will know the names of our players.

I do find it funny however, that people mostly complain when it seems like the other team is being mentioned more, yet have no problem when their team is constantly being praised.

If any retarded cheeseheads are bitching about Mora being biased towards the Panthers then their dumb asses weren't listening to the same game that I was.

I don't pay much attention to the announcers but I've heard that he both loves Newton too much and hates Newton. I personally heard nothing that stuck out in either direction. Maybe everyone is just too sensitive. It cant be both.

Every fanbase thinks the commentators are biased toward the other team.

Yeah I agree with that, and I didn't really mind card fans complaining about the commentary. Yet I kind of chuckled when I saw packer fans complaining. Going back to week 1, a cardinal fan posted that the commentary wouldn't be so biased once the panthers went up against the champs, yet here I find the packer fans complaining in the same fashion.:D

This reminds me of when Vick first jumped in the league. I was miserable watching Falcons/Panthers games because no matter what Vick did, good or bad, the announcers could not go 2 minutes without mentioning something about him and how dynamic he is.

That being said, sucks for everyone else not to have a guy like Cam.

the only person i have ever had a problem with commenting on our game was tory holt last year.

nothing against him as a person, he was just painfully horrible at it. the hate for guys like aikman and buck confound me after hearing holt stumble through the entire game. at least they are coherent and can finish thoughts.

I agree with this statement 314%, except for Joe Buck games. I thought Randy Moss "mooning" Lambeau during the 2004 playoffs was pure awesome, but Buck spent the rest of that game bitching about it.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.

      I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
