Jadeveon Clowney upset about being released
LinvilleGorge replied to TheSpecialJuan's topic in Carolina Panthers
It ain't a talent issue. Dude's talent was off the charts. Just seems like he never had the drive to be great. Was always willing to just rest in his talent and settle for being good. He definitely COULD'VE been great. -
Jadeveon Clowney upset about being released
LinvilleGorge replied to TheSpecialJuan's topic in Carolina Panthers
True. He never came close to living up to his #1 overall pick status but he's still a decent roster piece. He shouldn't be getting bounced around like he does unless there's a non-football reason for it. Probably still carries that #1 overall pick entitlement without producing the results. -

And honestly, they did him a favor. If they knew they were going to cut him they could've carried him into camp waiting on some other team to have an injury issue or something and for the opportunity to trade him to potentially present itself before cutting him at final roster cuts where his options elsewhere would likely be more limited. You're way better off getting cut now than getting cut then. -

I mean, I get being pissed. Getting fired sucks. But if he wasn't wanted in the building there's probably a reason for it on his end. I mean, he's a decent vet and didn't carry a huge cap hit so if they were in a hurry to jettison him it kinda feels like they didn't want him around our newly drafted edge rushers. -

The school is denying it but do they have any other choice? I mean, even if it's true it's such a poo show you'd HAVE to deny it. LOL

Panthers decision to pass on Walker
LinvilleGorge replied to kungfoodude's topic in Carolina Panthers
He may have been. I just pulled that off of PFF. Honestly haven't been paying much attention. -
Panthers decision to pass on Walker
LinvilleGorge replied to kungfoodude's topic in Carolina Panthers
Yeah, I just haven't been impressed. Most NFL coaches can do a good job if given great pieces to fit their schemes but the great ones can tailor their schemes to fit the pieces that they have available. The Panthers haven't had any great ones. We've had a bunch of square pegs in round holes type of guys and every now and then we've assembled the right pegs to field some legit squads. Now with that said, what Canales was able to do after Bryce returned from his benching was pretty damn impressive. That actually gives me some hope we might have found a head coach. -
And no 73 year old rich dude is dating a 24 year old good looking woman for her great conversation. LOL! They're both getting what they want out of this "arrangement", old Bill just needs to wake up and realize that he can get what he wants with a lot less baggage.

Panthers decision to pass on Walker
LinvilleGorge replied to kungfoodude's topic in Carolina Panthers
I've been warning folks to prepare for Moehrig to be misused as a primarily deep safety this year precisely because of this. -
A guy who threw for 2500 yards for a barely over .500 Sun Belt team. I sure hope not.

Seriously. I think we're gonna have to hope that this 4* QB recruit is another Howell who shows up ready to go from day one because I don't know who the fug is playing QB if he's not.

Panthers decision to pass on Walker
LinvilleGorge replied to kungfoodude's topic in Carolina Panthers
I don't think it has anything to do with Chinn. I mean, Chinn was a LB/safety tweener where Walker is am EDGE/LB tweener. Really different players and how we used Chinn was really kinda forced on us by our roster. He wasn't good in a deep safety role but he was the best option we had. Now I would argue that we should've still used Chinn where he was most effective but that's just me. I don't see how you're making a D better by misusing one of your better talents. It does seem like the Raiders are finally starting to use him how he should be used if you're going to play him at safety. -
Panthers decision to pass on Walker
LinvilleGorge replied to kungfoodude's topic in Carolina Panthers
It makes sense. I mean, the edge guys we drafted do have prototypical 3-4 OLB measurables and by all accounts post-draft T-Mac was by far and away everyone WR1 so it's not hard to believe that the Panthers just saw better value going that way. I think it's likely that Walker was plan B if T-Mac was gone and in that case we were going to definitely strongly consider offers to trade down.- 84 replies

I wonder when Bill's kid is gonna step in and try to jerk his old man in line? I mean, it always felt like Bill taking this gig was primarily about setting up a nepo-pipeline to land his kid the job long-term. Now the gold digger is trying to fug it all up.

Bill, you don't pay them for the "service". You're paying them to shut up and leave.

Congrats to @roaringriot….. this is pretty awesome
LinvilleGorge replied to TheBigKat's topic in Carolina Panthers
Corporate spending is the absolute worst. Now if you're just a regular person near the bottom of the totem pole you'll have every dime scrutinized painstakingly. But the folks in the C suite? Yeah, they can spend like drunken sailors on shore leave on the dumbest, most wasteful poo imaginable. Basically stuff like this. I mean, at the end of the day we're just animals. The peacock struts around showing off his beautiful tail feathers to get laid and we work ourselves to death to get money to piss it away on dumb stuff to impress people so that hopefully we can get laid. Just because we're the smartest animals on this rock doesn't really mean anything, at the end of the day we're still just dumbass animals doing the same thing all the other dumbass animals do. -

At the end of the day, I wish 'em luck. If they can find a market, good for them. I just hope they know what they're signing up for. Transitioning from being an everyman's fan club having some home bars scattered around the country and throwing some bashes is a helluva lot different game than trying to jump into the elite luxury experience. I honestly don't think you can pull off both, you gotta do one or the other. Neither group wants anything to do with the other. The former sounds fun. The latter... I think I'd rather slam my dick in a car door than hear some nepobaby whining about some poo that makes me want to throw him out the door of the private jet at 35k feet. -

LinvilleGorge replied to TheBigKat's topic in Carolina Panthers
In terms of trying to book a private jet I wouldn't be surprised. One off is a lot different than regular bookings and if you can fill it up (which I'm sure they're banking on) it's a lot less per head -

50% margin is damn good business. Neverending coolers of Natty Ice included! LOL -
Congrats to @roaringriot….. this is pretty awesome
LinvilleGorge replied to TheBigKat's topic in Carolina Panthers
Honestly, I wouldn't. I went to the majority of Broncos games for years because I lived 45 minutes west of the stadium and my company had a suite there because they were a major NFL sponsor and they had a suite in every stadium and I was the only employee based in Colorado so sweet! Half the time I was going through security with John Elway (this was in the years just prior to him being named GM). But would I have flown from say Charlotte to Denver just for the experience? Definitely not but that's just me. I would happily let someone else take the trip. -

LinvilleGorge replied to TheBigKat's topic in Carolina Panthers
Yeah, honestly for what it is the price isn't bad. Just not sure about it for the Panthers fanbase. Hard for me to imagine there's folks lining up to spend $10k for a Panthers away game experience. -
Congrats to @roaringriot….. this is pretty awesome
LinvilleGorge replied to TheBigKat's topic in Carolina Panthers
You really think they're going to find enough folks in other markets wanting to see the Carolina Panthers in away games to fill up a private jet? C'mon man, you're just scrambling. They're targeting the Charlotte market. -
Congrats to @roaringriot….. this is pretty awesome
LinvilleGorge replied to TheBigKat's topic in Carolina Panthers
A big part of the package is the chaffeured ride to a private jet flight. They're definitely targeting folks who live in Charlotte.
