When my wife know whether or not we are going to run or pass based on the down and distance that is then confirmed by the formation and can make blitz calls pre-snap the gameday calls are a major problem. And dont get me wrong, she is a smart lady, but she 'aint a NFL coordinator

Yes This is a failure of both scouting and coaching. And by coaching I mean both in preparation and in gameday execution.

He's 6-23 as a starter

Everyone - myself included - who thought that the end of last season was a new trend needs to understand the lie they are telling themselves https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambler's_fallacy

Optimism belies the fact that coaches have egos BY9 had enough of the "mental" attributes (or at least knew how to convince folks he did) that coaches believed they could overcome his shortcomings -pun intended They thought they could bulk him up They thought they could scheme him up They thought they could encourage him to play taller They thought but Doug Flutie - but Sonny Jurgensen - but Drew Brees This is as much a failure of overconfident coaching as bad scouting

Because that doesnt have any impact on the fact that he was widely expected to succeed in the NFL and he shouldnt even be a back-up. Someone was going to take him in the top 5 it just happens that we made some dumb choices to do it. Maybe MAYBE he has value as a Taysom Hill type gimmick but he is a bust in his own right without regard to what the team did to get him.

dont think the trades matter. If we had traded less or nothing for Bryce would he be a better QB? No Would we still have wasted years on him? Yes Would we have taken a different QB? No Would Bryce still be a bust on a different team? Yes The trade has nothing to do with the fact that he doesnt have the tools to be an NFL QB - the role he was drafted to play. It could be the worst trade in history - although there is some stiff competition on that front too - but it doesnt change how big of a bust Bryce is.

Russell Leaf Bosworth Couch Ki-Jana Carter Manziel Akili Smith Thats some stiff competition when it comes to biggest bust or even top 3 or 5

He is a bust because he cant play and would have been a bust regardless of where he was taken because he doesnt have the tools to be an NFL QB and somehow draft rooms and draft analysts widely speaking thought he had those tools. The trade makes it hurt more from a Panthers perspective, but he is objectively a top 10 bust regardless

After last season I was holding out hope. No more Time to let go

I just wish the man would file his paperwork for retirement so he could get the accolades he so richly deserves form the Panthers and the NFL He is being a damned knucklehead

Bummer. I was rooting for him.

Preseason in general with this new 3 game format seems to be all around less interesting. With the 4 games there were if not expectations, predictable behaviors you got from teams as they went through the 4 games. Now it seems none of the teams are on the same page and you end up with 1s & 2s vs camp bodies too often. Im not suggesting there should be rules regarding how to approach the games, just noting that for me as a fan I dont get much if anything from watching them anymore, for any team.

Sad news. Mastodon wasnt one of my favorite bands but they were always in rotation

Its "gameday..." I get why you dont play the 1s but Ill be damned if Im going to schedule my evening around watching a team not trying to win with dudes just praying to hang on

Streaming services are forgetting their entire existence is based on being slightly more convenient than piracy

No starters = Ill catch the rebroadcast on NFL and do something a else tonight

Jesse Welles is an interesting cat. I see his videos and think he's too young to see things the way he does, but then I ask myself how old were Pete, Woodie, Bob, and so many more

My PCBoard BBS with a Fidonet connection and Doors games and would blow their mind Trade Wars 2002 and BRE!!

any one video might be a little too political for the thread so Ill just keep it to the artists Been lost down a hole recently of folk/protest music Jackson Browne Pete Seeger Woody Guthrie Father John Misty Gil Scott-Heron Lead Belly Richie Havens Jesse Welles Bob Dylan Odetta Joan Baez Joni Mitchell

and you need to add that layer of "malaise" to every thread? And what exactly does making a comment about the owner being afraid of the coach add?

Whether BY9 has a good or bad year we need to learn two things 1. Its a sports franchise and not our identity. 2. The teams continued bad performance is not an excuse to be shitty. Remember - there is no situation so bad that you cant make it worse by being an asshole

You and literally 10s of thousands of others. Doesnt give you any unique insight. On the October night in 93 that the NFL announced that Charlotte won I threw my other team gear away. See? Doesnt make me special doesnt make you special

and this is the kind of shitposting @XClown1986 was talking about that adds nothing but is rampant and derailing

Fair take and yeah it sucks constantly sucking. I guess Im railing against the lazy, blanket condemnations that have become so common and the lack of folks diving into the nuts and bolts of what not going right.
