Normally yes. But they're getting blown off the ball. Can't let guys just be comfortable all game

Keep doing that Evero. That's our only chance

D line is getting blown off the ball. Gonna have to send run blitzes all game

Wouldn't judge him on that play. The corner clearly grabbed his right arm and held it down. Blatant pass interference. Easy call.

How is that not PI?

That's approved. Now compare their weapons. That was the original discussion. Cam did more with less weapons around him.

Awesome! Also add that you shouldn’t compare any player in their second season to any MVP player in their prime.

He really did. I know he was trying to be a professional and be impartial but a lot of announcers that were players are partial to their former teams.

When exactly was this? It definitely wasn't his first 2 seasons because that's the only time you can compare with Bryce right now, since he isn't a finished product. Just like Cam wasn't in year 2. I'm not comparing Bryce's physical abilities to Cam. That would be flat out ridiculous. But Cam came into a much much better situation to develop as a rookie.

I think he'll have a good game too.

You get your tail whipped. How bad or with what, depends on who's taking you there.

Bryce Young has gotten pretty good at beating blitzes lately. But he's taking a lot of hits in the process. Not sure if it's worth it at this point. Maybe. Maybe not. Either way, you know nothing Jon Snow!

Would have been a great opportunity to feature Brooks for a few games. Dang!

I think he has a good game. The narrative is changing enough that teams don't feel as confident stacking the box against #9. If they would have announced this earlier, I'd feel even more confident that they'd mostly ignore the running game and focus on shutting down the pass.

XL. Ladd is making that pick look like a mistake today. Like Bryce over Stroud bad - so far.

My dad is from the Denmark area in SC. He told me raccoons were some of the cleanest animals and usually washed their food in streams before consuming. Not sure if that's true or not. I've never eaten it. Don't shoot the messenger.

Rookie in a bad offense. They have weapons so just need to figure out how to best get them the ball.

Agree. The Ravens are the absolute worst team for the Panthers defense. But, I thought the Eagles would do the same. So you never know. I think the Panthers oline would hold up a lot better than Houston's though so we'd actually score, unlike Houston's offense.

Agree, Houston's oline isn't/wasn't good. I just think Carolina's was a crap show. And Houston's scheme and weapons definitely helped mitigate their bad play. Guards and tackles both getting beat at the snap on the same play in Carolina. Bryce was definitely shell shocked, and rightfully so as a rookie. The FO had to fix that. It wasn't sustainable for any QB long term. CJ is getting a taste of it now due to injuries at the reciever position. But even with Diggs and Dell out, his weapons are still better than Carolina's. CJ will adjust. He's too good not to. But the FO should be a little more intentional with improving the oline. They have an embarrassment of riches at the receiver position. Guys they could sacrifice to improve the oline.

We always hear about Canales being a QB whisperer. But I thought he and Idzik were both WR guys. If they can't help you improve, then there really isn't any hope. I think he'll be fine. But Ladd should have been the pick.

Again, watch a couple of Houston games from last season and tell me what you see. Watch a couple of Carolina games last season and tell me the QB was pressured less than Houston's. Even Dalton's great game against Seattle saw him under constant duress and taking multiple HUGE hits. Don't watch the highlights. Just watch the offensive snaps for both teams. It really wasn't that close. And all pressure isn't the same. Outside pressure that allows you to step up into the pocket is doable. Immediate inside pressure with the outside shrinking on you is not.

I honestly get the impression that many don't watch other games. They just stat watch. Every time Bryce misses a throw - after making 5 completions in a row, 2 being of high difficulty: he sucks, high school QBs should be able to make that throw. Meanwhile, Josh Allen misses the exact same throw in a game.

Stats don't always tell the story. Stroud has played better than Bryce both years. That is not arguable. Stroud has always had a better supporting cast than Bryce. That really is not arguable either. Now if you really watched the games last season, you could tell Stroud was in a much better situation with regards to protection, playcalling and receivers. He was throwing to a lot of wide open guys with little to no pressure most times he dropped back. That gives you the confidence to stand in the pocket and trust your receivers when things get dirty. And those receivers were making big plays after the catch. I don't care what pressure statistics you're looking at, but when I watched the games, Bryce was constantly facing pressure with receivers that couldn't beat their men and playcalling that didn't scheme guys open enough. You had to give him a mulligan after that. And that was as a rookie. So Stroud is facing now what Bryce faced as a rookie with regards to pressure. In his second season, he should be better than rookie Bryce. They have weapons to spare over there in comparison to Carolina. Bryce may have benefited from such a tough rookie season, as he seems to thrive under pressure now. Teams are learning that you can't just blitz him any time you want anymore. He's finding the answers and making you pay. Stroud hasn't quite gotten there but he will. He just hasn't faced it to the degree that Bryce has, until recently. They're both good young QBs right now. Different. But good QBs right now.

I agree about the playoffs. Just depends on who they match with early. I was just saying that CJ still looks like the guy and is just going through a slump, and he still has enough weapons to overcome the breakdowns in protection. Guys were open all day. Even early reads. He was just missing throws. Imagine losing Diggs and Dell and still having multiple playmakers left. Panthers would fold if they lost their possession receiver.

Boy you so goofy. I've taught a lot of kids to catch better. A lot. NFL example - Chuba Hubbard.
