The Charlotte Observer posted an ad for a new Panthers beat reporter today

Just listening to him ask questions you can tell he’s not very interested in his job... sounds like a robot call.

I have a guess. I believe the Athletic has no reporter covering Charlotte or Panthers. The Athletic also just saw their site getting blown up by Panthers fans after the KB story.  Bet they want Panthers coverage stat. I'm guessing it will be Person.

Just hope the Observer gets someone good.

I can see this. Not just no panther writer but no Carolina writer. They need one badly with our NBA, NHL, NFL teams.

Sweet so there is still time to marry that other much more cute reporter that knows route trees.

This is incredible news.

step one in becoming a legitimate sports market is to rid selves of incompetent media members. Hopefully Newton, Garcia, and Parcell are next.

I just wanted to quote this so I can have it on record to piece it together with your next response regarding the next bit of news

Well I have no idea what you’re speaking of here. So if something comes out because he is leaving for personal reasons, than all bets are off. As much as I think these 4 people are at their jobs, I wish no ill will on anyone.

Isn't Joe the one that said we traded KB for Seymour and the Bills are clearly winning that trade?

No nothing bad just the part of becoming a “legitimate sports market” will be funny if that’s how you feel about Person

[NJPanthers12]

I have stood strong on my stance on Person for a while. I think he’s the single worst beat writer who covers a NFL team for their major local paper.

That was ESPN’s David Newton.

With their "free trial" the Joe Person stories should be worth every penny.

BTW, just for shits and giggles, I went back to watch the last interview with Ron at camp. Either Joe wasn't there or he asked zero questions. But there was a question asked by Jourdan that struck me as insightful: she began by saying that many players even outside the organization had commented that Ron paid a lot of individual attention to his players and said that seemed to be something Chase Blackburn was emulating and finally asked Ron if he saw a little of himself in Chase.

That is brilliantly done. It's a simple yes/no question, but the fact that she boosted Ron's ego made Ron want to talk about it, so he did...and he said way more than she probably expected. Whether that was her doing that on purpose or not, it worked beautifully. And it stood in stark contrast to Person's typical question which reads or sounds like he googled, "questions to ask football coaches or players."

What she really meant by that was, "Ron, what do you expect out of the back-up Linebackers this season?" you know, because being direct is an issue at times.
