Darin Gantt is a joke journalist, a Panther organization apologist, and a sad suckup

[Scrumtrilescent]

Anybody who remembers his articles when Seifert was the coach knows he's not a total Panther apologist. I was a homer at the time and hated him for his honesty at the asshat moves they made then.

Stop implying that this team has been around for more than six years.

Let's all get real here. If you have an account on the Huddle you are apart of a "lunatic fringe." So I did not find that exact phrase to be insulting. I did find his comment overall to be a little insulting in that he dismissed the fan's opinions all together. Fan's opinions are not going to change or influence the front office's decission making but they are our opinions and to have just dismissed them that easily was a bit out of bonds IMO.

As for Gantt himself though, he is a great journalist. As Scrum pointed out he doesn't always toe the party line. I even remembering last offseason when he questioned why the Panthers had not got a long-term contract worked out with Gross before the July 1st deadline. He also questioned the trade in the draft and if I am remembering correctly he was also one that questioned Fox's decission to continue to use Foster instead of Williams.

I will agree that all of the beat writers should push harder when it comes to asking the front office questions but that isn't isolated to just Gantt. Overall, Gantt isn't perfect but he is the best beat writer we have in the Charolette area and I would much rather have him being the go to guy then Yas or Chandler or Reed.

God I wish that rep was back solely for this post.

I didn't read the Herald or listen to WFNZ or go online to talk about the Panthers back when Seifert was coach, but it's pretty obvious that if he was rightfully pointing out how horrible a coach Seifert was then that was probably because Seifert would never give him any scoops. Fox and Hurney do on the other hand so he's going to keep rubbing their backs and orally massaging them in the paper so he can continue to get those scoops so people can continue to post his dumb articles on the Huddle so he can continue to get more hits on his blog so the bosses at his newspaper continue to keep him around because of ad revenue for the Herald's site.

Seriously...do you think the Panthers organization gives any exclusive insider scoops to ANYONE the press? He may know the way they think in general terms, but the Cats are not the Cowpukes (specifically JJ) who run their mouths to the press about everything.

So you didn't read the Herald back then, and you don't have any firsthand knowlegde of any of the people involved.

We have opinions from people who did read the Herald back then, and from someone who does know the people involved personally. Both points of view are in stark contradiction to yours.

Can you give a good reason why I should take seriously your purely speculative viewpoints over those of people who have actual knowledge?

No offense Mr. Scot, but we do need new fans. I don't agree with most of his posts, but he does have the right to make them...

Truth makes people mad.

Can someone show me where he is a Panthers Apologist ?

i'm not sure but i think it's supposed to be anytime he says something that actually shows insight into what the panthers are thinking, even if it isn't popular among some fans.

maybe it's anytime he doesn't say the panthers are morons for [blah blah blah].

I think it's B.

Sandy Vag levels of this forum have been sadly high this offseason.:nopity:

[pantherclaw]

The majority of the fans have been over reacting to the end of the season. And of course, the off season is long, so they got nothing better to do than over react, and practically drool whenever any decent QB MIGHT become available. I laughed when I read what Gantt said, cause he nailed it pretty good. Guess the truth hurts, and this thread, and others are the evidence of it. Sour grapes, and weak sauce.

He and any other poster can make whatever posts they want. But no one, old or now and including me, is immune from having to defend their views if called into question.

Post whatever you want, but be prepared to back it up. And if you can't, then don't whine if people stop taking you seriously.
