Is Darin Ganatt just a Twitter Troll?

[bdwork]

Love Darin and his opinions, though unpopular, are almost always more in line with reality than the fluff stuff you get from most people revolving around the Panthers. He's a realist. And I understand that's not a popular position to take when you're dealing with rabid fans who think that a guy like Bersin should be given a shot at WR2 or that our offensive line is fine despite there being nothing of consequence to prove it. I support his criticisms of the NFL and society on the whole and I'm glad he has the platform now outside of the bible belt to really dig into those without fear of retribution.

 

Keep up the good work, Darin. One of the few writers of this age I still have a great deal of respect for. In a league full of Joe Person I will take Darin 10 out of 10 times. God forbid someone have an opinion that doesn't fall in the organizational think tank.

 

Haven't really read anyone saying his opinions are off base. It's his delivery and general tone. Maybe that's why he irks me so much; I respect anyone willing to take their own path, but keep your holier-than-thou to yourself.

yea darin was such a realist when he was calling the delhomme extension the right move to make

 

Being a realist doesn't mean you're never wrong. We can go into the way back machine and try to make sense of any move the Panthers made as being the right option for them at the time. It's just that with our limited options available, keeping Jake looked like our best option. That's realism. Even if you miss the boat. It beats the hell out of suggesting something unreasonable like going out and trading for Aaron Rodgers or some impossible scenario.

 

The risk of being a professional journalist is that your opinions of the time are public record. Some people avoid that risk by never having an opinion and thus never being wrong. But I like to read about the ways people approach the situation and the process. Has Person ever predicted anything to happen? It's the coward's way out of committing to a topic.

I remember when people on this board used to gush over how great Gantt was and now no one will touch him with a ten meter cattle prod.

[KillerKat]

I've never liked Gantt. He's always been a prick.

Don't forget annual fluff piece on Armanti.

Or basically saying both Panthers and Hornets would suck before their respective seasons last year

I am actually amazed at how often "realists" are so fugging wrong all the time

I used to like him. He changed after getting fired

[Fiz]

He's still bitter about being fired

[Mvp2014]

Hes dead to me

[KendrickPanther]

He mad a story about Michael Sam and Jerry Jones capitalizing on the jersey sales. He literally wrote "BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA" in the middle of his article. That's bad form for a Huddler. For a professional writer with his access that is fire-able. What has media become? 

[PandaPancake]

I have no idea who he is

[Jacob]

Try the veal.

[Delhommey]

Say what you will, Ray Lewis killed the hell out of that guy and got away with it.

PFT does the hard hitting news of reporting on what other better journalists are reporting. Which is essentially just blogging

[enikville]

When I heard him on the radio say that Jeff Davidson was a future NFL head coach, I knew then the guy was an idiot.
