Jason Avant Cut

[Nick_81]

Not sure why so many people are upset about it.  I mean, take your pick really, Cotch/Bersin/Avant = the exact same player.  I'd keep Bersin because of youth factor personally, and I love good possession receivers, but it never made sense to me on getting both Cotch and Avant.  Pick one, and continue to pursue the much needed speed.  I would have to agree that it's a testament to the coaches ability to evaluate talent on their roster more than anything.  That it took them this long to figure it out is baffling.

Jason Avant signing... "high character guy"... "great locker room influence"

Jason Avant: "You know, this Rivera guy and Shula guy are kinda dumb!"

Panthers: "YOU'RE OUTTA HERE!!!"

I'm not as upset about Avant getting cut as much as staff is not being held to same standard as the players are.

No accountability for the coaching staff. They just cut someone new every week because they think they are doing it right but players are failing them.

To a degree they are right, but at some point you have to think "maybe it is us"

To be clear it's not that Avant was cut that most people are upset.  He could have been cut weeks ago because he generally was misused and hasn't created separation all season.  With Avant's comments this move comes off as sour grapes, but this move could have been made ages ago.  Just shows how slow and inept this staff has been on a whole.  That's what's more upsetting than anything.  Avant clearly wasn't contributing that much but that was clear a long time ago.  Slow moves like this are ridiculous.  We could have been giving other guys burn already if that's the case.  Add to that Harper has been a serious detriment. Add to that the Godfrey situations.  It's all clear as day to everyone but Ron.

 

Rivera's staff on a whole is just a slow to respond, stubborn and an uneducated mess.

That's the argument--who the staff should've kept and I felt otherwise so just pointed it out.  Of course Bersin produced more, because we chose him over King.  What are you trying to say?  

 

IMO, if it was the other way around, Bersin would be sitting on our PS because even Tampa wouldn't scoop him up and King would have similar numbers.  Neither are that great but one provides a deep threat option.      

 

Well you can always play the what if game. It's kind of sad looking back at the confidence our staff had in McNutt and King.

 

Hopefully our luck has changed a bit with the position, because Brown looks pretty good at least.

I personally would have picked Cotchery. But if they wanted one of their young players to have a chance, it should have been weeks ago when things just weren't working.

FWIW, Avant's camp does not believe the cut was about his post-game comments on play calls Sunday

 

[PantherPhann89]

Forget all the crying about what was done. I heard a number of times how people on this board wanted to Bersin get more time over Avant. I don't care who plays over who, I want to see some changes from our FO and or coaching staff being made to indicate at least an effort on their part. I'd love to see our offense come out and play an entire game like they played the 4th quarter against Atl.

These are fun threads because of all the sky is falling rhetoric.  Let's see who can out outrage the other. 

 

Anyway, the Panthers signed the guy to be a leader/mentor to the younger guys and to contribute on the field.  Not sure how much of either he has done.

 

When you cannot do your own job that well, don't go round dumping on the boss.

 

He might have been correct in his statement, but not correct in making it.

 

He will not be missed on the field.

JJ Jansen is next.
