Why Is It I Have To Scour Teh Interwebz For Panther Draft News?

[Delhommey]

I have to say it. The local media has been horrid, I mean absolutely horrid on covering the draft this year. None of the papers have been looking at prospects, discussing strategies, making mocks or even looking in depth at team needs. Here we are less than a week a way from the draft and not even any of the blogs have anything posted within a long while.

Gantt used to be decent at bringing things up for discussion, (he brought up the possibility of us trading this year's 1st multiple times last year) but it looks as if the Observer brought him on staff just to shut him up.

Do they have a Draft gag order or something?

Maybe no news is good news.

And no, I have no reason behind saying that, I just wanted to.

Yeah its terrible..especially the draft coverage..

We only have one real beat writer..its like a huge monopoly with the panthers :willy_nilly::willy_nilly:

[bleys]

writers are prob'ly on a strike since they see any off-season speculation get criticized all to hell every year...

[mick eye]

It is because we don't have a loudmouth GM like Mike Holmgren talking about moving up to get a QB. It's because the talking heads ( Kiper and McShay) have NO clue what we are gonna do and we don't have a 1st round pick. Like most Panther fans i am used to a slow off-season. I am guilty of getting my draft fix from my first team the hapless Lions. With the Millen Era over it is pretty exciting that they may field a competitive team before the world ends in 2012. LOL.

i blame twitter

I think it's part of the Observer's mini protest.

It's because we don't have a first round pick, the only round that gets hype.

And you would think when Homer Simpson announced he was a Panthers fan we would get more press!
