"Nice Jacket"


KendrickPanther

Recommended Posts

So I was out on the town today. Wearing the same Panthers jacket I've had for the past 4 years. I wear it every day in the Fall/Winter. It's starting to get old and ratty and I asked my family for a new one for Christmas.

 

So I walk into Best Buy and I have three different employees comment "nice jacket". You would think I was wearing a Members Only Jacket. So I'm thinking to myself "self, did these guys learn a new marketing tactic from corporate". Did they do market research that determined 30% of customers respond favorably to compliments? So I got on with my day, hit the DRs office, same thing, secretary tells me I have a nice jacket. I hit the Sears...."nice jacket, can't wait for Sunday". All in all I think I racked up like 6 compliments for an old dingy Panthers jacket.

 

Is this what it's like to win in the NFL? Are Beers colder? Skies bluer? Jackets nicer? It's been so long since the common fan has wanted to admit they watch the Panthers but that has changed for at least this season. I for one welcome my fair weather fans to engage in Panther discourse.

    • I mean, I wouldn't classify him as elite, but he is good. Are you arguing that he's JAG? There aren't many elite pass rushers in the league today in my opinion. Carter and Thibodeuax don't seem to be. I mean, come on. Sometimes rushers get to the QB, sometimes they don't. Sometimes injuries slow a player down. I haven't seen Hutchinson enough, but he just got paid like an elite pass rushers, and we all know that Parsons is. Who else is really elite? Crosby and Watt can rain terror, at times.  Hendrickson is good, but a Johnny-come-lately. Other guys seem to be on the same level as Burns. The days of Pep or Reggie White have been gone. 
    • With Canales I'm not nearly as concerned about his mismanagement of the RB situation (which you could argue is being overblown to a degree yes) as I am with how woefully inept he is at preparing coaching and managing his team on gamedays against opponents and their coaching staffs with winning records. The team has been blown off the field too many times under his watch now. But I will concede that even if we fire him we will just end up with another figurehead of sorts. It's plainly obvious or at least it should be that our ownership is still meddling and pulling strings.
    • It's definitely not but what he and Darnold and now Jones are all doing does show that if you have a guy who checks a lot of the prerequisite boxes putting them in the right situation can make all the difference. The problem for the folks wanting to apply this logic to Bryce is that little "checks a lot of the prerequisite boxes" issue.
