I know this has been discussed, but why is Gantt no longer a beat writer?

I used to work for the Observer 20 years ago in the sports dept. I filled in on weekends and summer vacations while I was in graduate school. A person I remained friends with said it dealt with ethics, and he led me to beleive the Panthers complained--but that is not confirmed--he did not know for sure. Very hush hush. He has been warned not to discuss it, to accept his new post. I am not sure how the continuation of covering the Panthers and releasing statements that are being picked up by national sources is viewed. He does not claim to be affiliated with any paper, and he has the right. However, there is friction, and he is keeping his name alive until he can find another position.

I asked him if it had anything to do with all the ASU/Armanti Edwards stuff, he said he did not think so, that could be related, but he added that more than a few of us noticed the homerism in his articles. I mentioned that he once wrote a seven-paragraph article about Edwards converting to WR as a Panther, and he mentioned ASU on 4 occasions. He laughed and said, "I am sure that was not intentional." I added, "The must have edited out the other two references." He laughed again. They liked Gantt. I met Gantt twice. He emailed me some info about OTA practice times and we talked there. Nice guy and good at his job.

I'm told by a reliable source that CB Brandon Hogan's rookie season might be a wash. His torn ACL not near where it needs to be yet.

1 minute ag

This should NOT come as a surprise to anybody... If you watched the draft, they even said we'd be lucky to have him by week 10... They praised U's for picking a first round talent, then blasted U's for picking somebody that probably wouldn't even be a factor this year...

I'm not surprised... Neither should anyone here be. I actually LOL when sinebody posted that thread saying ^He Failed his physical.. I was like NO sh!t!

No. Not happening. Too costly. RT @manu4t: @carolinagrowl an Asante Samuels deal is getting more possible now?

Some guys are bigger than they sound when you look at numbers on the roster. Lee Ziemba and Sione Fua are two of those guys.

I'm liking what I hear about Armanti, but I don't see him getting a lot of action being the 4th WR. Besides when we go 4 wide.

How do you know he will be the 4th WR? These guys have a clean slate with this new coaching staff, so the opportunity to move up is there.

BTW, I'm trying to remember the last time a WR not named Steve Smith stood out this much.

You're right, I was just assuming he would be.

    • It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game to go around   and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important.
