or....their job is to sell as many jersey's as humanly possible. Which mean like products all over the map.....they are designed to intentionally have a shorten shelf life....so that you have to buy more. They don't want you to buy a jersey someone's rookie season and it last for their career. They need you to comeback and buy it again.

It also occurred to me that they might not even be able to start shipping these out until he signs his contract and is officially on the team, that could be why they are still a pre-order even though they've confirmed his number already.

Or is it that the jerseys have just improved so much over the years that what is best for players to wear, may have reached a tipping point to where it's now a weird material/style for fans to be wearing?

Got to pick up little dude from school in a minute, but once I get back if I have time I'll see if I can figure out which via the data points. I was leaning towards post-benching but I figured that'd be called out somewhere if so.

It's a really just a weird anomaly of a stat IMO For example, Bryce essentially had the worst on target % in the NFL last year. That stat wouldn't lead you to believe that was also true. He throws shorter than almost the entire league on average. He naturally plays a more risk adverse brand of football. So despite bringing heaviest % of off target throws to anyone on that graph.....they aren't all that aggressive and he is missing into the sideline for example often thus....aren't deemed "turnover worthy". Which is fine. It's smart football for us. But it's also why the ceiling of everything is just so low.

That's crazy impressive if it's for the season. I feel like it post benching which is still impressive. Those first couple games can really swing things. I'm eager to see how the offense looks this season in year 2 of DC's offense, same OL, and a new weapon in TMac.

that's the element of surprise for you. A good playcall. GB clearly not playing such a call in any fashion.

Freddie Back! Good to go!!! Will be a good game! I honestly just want the boys to take one of the first two... so let's goooo!

Wasn't specified by the OP. Got the original tweet screen capped in the link above for what they had posted. I thought that the one other time I posted it explained it clearly and that the labels would help fill in any blanks (outside of exacts regarding the scope of the sample, of course). What part is giving you trouble?

I sure hope not. Good grief it seems like the Panthers have more than paid their fair share to the injury goblin over the years. So many of our elite talents have been detailed in their prime by major injuries. From Cam to Beason to Morgan to Luke. You can fairly include guys like KB who looked to be emerging as an elite WR and guys like Oher who was actually looking like the blindsided protector he was hailed to be. Despite his resurgence much of TD's prime was stolen from us with him fighting back from ACL after ACL. I get that football is a brutal sport, but damn... can't we just have some nice things every now and then without injuries fuging it up?

He's down within the first 4 games next season. Bank on it.

With the money and draft picks we have spent on our wide receiver group, and with the way Canales has said he wants to run the ball, a breakout season for a Panthers tight end could be 30-40 catches. For him and Tremble, quality will matter more than quantity. Make some clutch catches, be a solid end zone target, and that should be sufficient.

I am beyond impressed thus far. Dan has shown an eye for talent, but this draft has been my favorite to date. Big guys from big schools who show up on game day with big plays against other big schools. Consistently. No project tweeners from schools nobody’s heard of. Just dudes. Gamers. Combine numbers and metrics took a back seat to film. Love it.

I was bored at work, so I did 50 draft lottery simulations: #1 pick - 12% #2 pick - 26% #3 pick - 8% #4 pick - 10% #5 pick - 8% #6 pick - 30% #7 pick - 6%

There's nothing wrong with Sanders, he's a good receiving TE. Canales just doesn't use the TE that way. He won't get the looks to break out.

I thought he had a few really nice flashes. I can see him showing out this year

I have heard that before--when standing in front of a full body mirror at Old Navy. I said it, actually. Seriously, Let's go on what we know. There is reason for optimism that exceeds random opinions and negativity: 1. Last year, the offense was the priority and the interior offensive line was the focal point. Morgan addressed it in free agency and the draft. They improved. 2. Last year, Canales pulled Young after 2 games and replaced him with an established veteran. Instead of giving up on Young, he developed him, primarily focusing on his footwork and timing. Continued development in his fundamentals should result in improved play. (this is significant because some athletes rely on natural ability and do not adapt well. They resort to old habits. This means that Bryce is "teachable" and is willing to face adversity and fight through it. That is what you want in a QB.) 3. Morgan drafted a raw talent at WR; and we all knew he was raw. Huddlers are already calling it a bust, but his productivity numbers were in line with the other WRs drafted around where he was drafted. So, yes, he was a bit disappointing, but what part of "Raw" is not understood here? Evil Bryce, then inconsistent Dalton, then good Bryce--all while facing the top defensive backs--and let's not forget about his lingering injuries--and we should understand XL's productivity. Morgan was looking for a home run based on XL's 1-season productivity and his freakish athleticism, but I always thought we would not know what we have until year 2. TMac alone will make XL better--a solid #2. 4. If you blame Morgan for drafting XL, you must give him credit for making Coker a priority free agent. In my view, he addressed WR in 2024 pretty effectively in the long view. 5. Let's look at the rest of the draft. Brooks? The best RB in the draft in round 2? Morgan was attempting to build a solid run game behind Bryce. Wallace was a very solid third round pick at LB. Sanders is a strong TE for a fourth round pick. 6. Not much is being said about the development of Chau Smith-Wade. His improvement mirrors Bryce Young's, actually. In his first 8 games, his PFF rating was 36.5. In the final 9 games, his PFF rating was 66.7. 7. With so many needs, Morgan hit the UDFA market with success. In addition to Coker, Demani Richardson got 400+ snaps and had a 60.1 PFF grade, including an interception. 8. In free agency, Morgan spent big bucks on Guards, a move that made his QB better. He added David Moore, Nijman, He signed Clowney, Wonnum, Robinson, Jewel, Chaisson, Fuller, Scott, D. Jackson, Dionte Johnson, etc. A few years of Fitterer left him with more holes that players. Some did not work out, but he did all this on a budget (after he splurged on Lewis and Hunt). It is hard to get a free agent to come to a team that loses--so in some cases, Morgan had to overpay or accept questionable players. Morgan's first year as a GM demonstrated an understanding of the game like we have not seen since Polian, before his lost it. Canales, on the other hand, should be rated by the improvement of players. Zavala, Ekwonu, Mays, Young, Smith-Wade, Coker, Wallace--all improved. He had to overcome major losses such as D. Brown, Shaq, Dionte Johnson, Corbett--and we saw growth. Despite all this team went through, after 8 games of disarray, This team finished 4-5 with close losses to both Super Bowl teams. Frankly, I do not know how he did it. This year was better. The WR room is solid with depth. The OL room is solid with depth. The TE room is as good as it has been in a while. The RB room has the potential to be as good as it was when we had 28 and 34. DBs? Better. DL? Better. Edge? better. The bottom of the roster? Much better. We really don't know what we have yet, and that makes this offseason exciting.

Here you go. 2 yards. Bryce Sneak.mp4

Its Matt Cooke all over again. Dude should have been lifetime banned like 20 different times. They don't care.

Well, let's hope someone from Toronto pulls a Bertuzzi on Bennett and ends his career. I think most hockey fans would smile with glee seeing that piece of poo never be able to play hockey again

Bettman won't do poo until someone dies on national TV.

Really excited to see how old man strength takes Aho's game to another level!

Pretty sure baby came on Friday... Luckily for all involved, Aho's have impeccable timing!

the thing is even the Authentic jerseys are trash now, they are this weird stretchy fiber instead of a mesh jersey. Definitely more fragile than old jerseys again Nike/Fanatics is ruining jerseys
