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

    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight 
    • There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
