Jourdan Rodriguez should be higher because she knows routes and how to use a tight end. 

Although we do know she finds racist jokes funny especially about the Navajo who were slaughtered and land stolen from them so that might keep here where she is.

But she's hot and has one of the highest privilege ratings so that doesn't matter. Did I mention she knows how to use a tight end...

Top 3

1 Voth 

2 Rodrigue and she could end up being the best when it's all said and done

3 Gross from this is Gross

 

Would have to agree that Voth is the best. Rodrigue is a close second.

I was never that big a fan of Steve Reed. His posting that the team would never under any circumstances sign Keyshawn Johnson shortly before they actually did was kind of embarrassing.

It’s Voth, Gantt, and lately Igo (i don’t care if he considers himself a member of the media he is in the know).  The rest absolutely suck and routinely get scooped by National Beat Writers when it comes to Panthers news and info.   I look to the beat writers for inside info, not the stories.  90% of people who read the Observer articles probably dont even watch the game on Sundays.

Jonathan Jones was good. So is Jourdan Rodrigue.

I really haven't followed Rodrigue much since she started covering the Panthers. I will say, the actual question she asked Cam about Funchess was barely a question to begin with.

"I know you take a lot of pride in seeing your receivers play well." - This is a statement. And I mean, no sh!t he does. 

"Devin Funchess has seemed to really embrace the physicality of his routes...and getting those extra yards." - She makes another statement. I'm not quite sure what she's even getting at here, because every route is physical. A post is a post for Kelvin Benjamin or Christian McCaffrey, and players are expected to fight for extra yards on every play.

"Does that give you a little bit of enjoyment to see him truck-sticking people?" - Here's the actual question. Does Cam enjoy watching Devin Funchess playing well? Of course he does. She answered the question for him in her first statement.

It's the responsibility of the reporter to ask engaging questions that elicit more of a response than just basic "yes and no". She could have asked:

"How do you feel about Devin Funchess's breakout game?"

"Devin Funchess had a physical game and added some extra yards after the catch. Talk about his development?"

None of this excuses Cam's response. I've said many times he needs to apologize. But what she actually asked was pointless. Just saying...

    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
    • I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
