Talked about it some in another thread. Following up on that thought here.

What do I really think about the "disrespect" the Panthers are getting?

I honestly don't care.

People think they know how good or bad the team is based largely on the end of last season and this year's preseason. In truth, both of those things don't tell us jack. At this point, nobody in the media has any more of a clue than the fans do. That's just basic reality.

I have no idea how good the Panthers will be this year. Maybe they'll be great. Maybe they'll stink. There's any of a hundred factors on which the whole story could turn, and nobody here can predict them.

Still, some will try. Me? Since I'm not paid to speculate, I don't see much point. Nor do I see much point in wringing our hands over disrespect, whether it's real or perceived.

If the team is great, it'll all be irrelevant and we can revel in how wrong it was.

If the team sucks, it'll all be deserved and we won't have much of anything to say in response.

But until something actually happens, it's all meaningless.

Call me when there's actually something tangible to go by.

Nothing wrong with having to earn respect.

Steve Smith has made a career out of it.

Like any of us. Let your work, game, actions, ethic do the talking.

The respect will follow.
