What happened to Gantt?

He said on WFNZ the other day that he's taking a break before OTA's start up, and he's tired of talking about Julius Peppers.

don't blame him.

there really isn't much to talk about right now if you aren't going to talk about peppers and even then there isn't much to talk about.

things will pick up soon enough.

Gantt's job, right now, is to talk about Julius Peppers and find out as much as possible about what's really keeping Peppers from wanting to be a part of this team. That situation is the elephant in the room right now and if Gantt finds this tiring, maybe he should so something else.

I'm not tired of this. I want to know as much as possible and I want as much information from the beat reporters. If I were Gantt's editor and I heard that he said he was tired of covering the biggest Panthers story right now, I'd find someone new to cover the beat and fire Gantt.

And newspaper companies wonder why they are losing half their revenue.

so gantt is supposed to stalk peppers and force him to sit down and talk about something that he knows isn't prudent to do right now?

silly.

it isn't good business to be talking about this stuff while it is all going on. peppers nor anyone else involved in the decision making is going to talk to anyone.

From what I understand, Peppers will not answer any questions or take any calls, instead referring all of them to Carey. And as of around the draft, Carey was not returning any phone calls.

So that is that for now.

    • I agree. All of these guys, and let's face it our coaches before Canales, too, were selected to be head coaches not because they had developed weak or underperforming teams during their previous stops. As a matter of fact, the only way to really move up in coaching is to start with a bad program, correct it, win and then move up when a vacancy arrives at yet another bad program, then do it again. Sometimes they are the HC, sometimes an assistant, whatever. But you've got to have some patience. And yeah, there's the Peter principal at work, too, sometimes. That states that people will eventually be promoted to their level of incompetence. It kind of waves its hand at the idea that sometimes people learn a lot from mistakes and grow.  It's really hard to win at this level of competition, this is the HC final boss level for football, from Peewee Leagues and Pop Warner, through junior high, high school, college and pro levels. It's tough and there are only 32 spots per year for the gigs (give or take a couple of mid-season replacement jobs).  We have to remember that Tomlin, Cowher and Knoll all inherited collapsed teams. And each rebuilt them and had them eventually wear out and fall down, too (okay, Tomlin is still holding strong, but entropy eventually catches everyone), but each took a time commitment and good management to rebuild. I wish we could snag onto the winning formula. But you're very right that we can't just change every two years and expect anything but the same restart difficulties each time.
    • Well, I think that's basically a Bryce thing. Dalton is not gonna be a significant media threat to him and is also a very capable backup. So does bringing in a Daniel Jones make a lot of sense if you are just gonna hear the chants for him every time Bryce struggles? IMO, it has been they are sold on Bryce and don't want a threat to his development. Dalton isn't a threat.
