Joe Person Getting Some Help at the Observer

I'm happy to announce I will be teaming with @josephperson to cover the Carolina Panthers for the Charlotte Observer

www.Twitter.com/jjones9

JJ just graduated from Carolina, and is a friend of mine from school (Yeah I know, I played Cam in Madden etc etc). He's a great writer, and even as a student manged to remain really objective about UNC sports when reporting on them. I'm none too fond of Person, so at least for me this is a great move. He's pretty active on Twitter, and will hopefully be a good addition to the local beat

/Edit sorry for the multi-thread, other one was started while I was writing/linking this one. Feel free to merge/delete

I just tweeted him this golden nugget...

@CL3_83: @jjones9 Glad to have you covering the Panthers. On behalf of #PanthersNation I want to welcome you!You gotta be better than @josephperson

Just wanted him to know from the jump, that he's gotta do better than him. He will be better than Person of course. He's young, has a lot to prove, and probably wants to move up. In saying that, it will probably push Person to step up his game for fear of losing his job to the "new kid at work"

This is a Win/Win for us as fans!

I'll say it again...

Jonathan Jones is the asshat that wrote this little nugget http://www.dailytarh...get_embarrassed

HE CAN GO fug HIMSELF.

Right, forgot about that. No excuses for that; it caused a pretty good stir on both campuses around game day. But aside from that, his work at the DTH and Carolina Blue has been solid so hopefully he can bring a little more insight to the Observer's coverage of the Panthers

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
