  1. I wasn't ready for this one. Almost neti potted my coffee with creamer.
  2. Nah. He stayed in Carolina longer than any other team this year. Last year. Steelers and Baltimore have great vet presence and coaches. DJ is just... different.
  3. Well it is the Army. They could be lost and trying to get their bearings via mailbox address labels.
  4. Washington definitely improved their defense via FA. Mostly our guys. They just use them correctly. But they already had weapons and a great RB. They've just been in HC and QB purgatory since RG3.
  5. I don't think he's risen that much. Maybe early to mid 2nd. He's not an explosive athlete. So combine ain't gonna help him. Hopefully Panthers stop putting so much value on combine.
  6. Ok. You give a lot of weight to arm talent. Then you're never gonna like Bryce. He's never going to have a top arm in the league. Heck he drops further back every year as stronger armed rookies keep getting drafted. I'm OK with the way he plays though. A rifle would definitely help, but not sure it's needed to be successful. Accuracy, anticipation, being able to layer the ball, finding passing lanes are just as important. And there's more than one way to complete that 15 yards out and that 20 yards curl. He's done both. Not consistently in the rocket arm fashion, but that won't ever consistently be his game. So if he and the team around him continue to improve and they win games, would you be more accepting of his lack of arm talent?
  7. I don't know Fua. That's a weird stat to me. Just my opinion. So what if the QB makes a great throw and the receiver drops it? Does it count? What if the QB just throws it really hard into a crowd and the receiver makes a great catch and bails him out? Does that count? Penix had a lot of big time throws in the last game that looked to me like London making crazy plays on the ball where Penix threw balls he had no business throwing. And our secondary has no ball skills. But that's another discussion.
  8. Oh you're talking about the big time throws stat. Yeah I agree and I don't really even know what that means. Seams like a subjective stat.
  9. His first 18 games were pretty bad for the most part. I had all but given up on him after the first 2 this year. But he's been playing good football the last 10. I mean good football. It's not unfair to reference stats but you have to dig deeper than yards and TDs a game. I mean I know you realize that we really don't have weapons here to put up gaudy passing numbers. Isn't that why you keep drumming for Tet? DJ was supposed to be that guy, but he went full Antonio Brown. Here, a poster referenced deeper stats that showed Bryce was actually getting through his progressions at a high tick compared to the rest of the league, which is unusual and impressive for a young QB. But rather than say that's a good thing, we should punch holes in it? We should find the negative and point out that he isn't passing for 300 yards a game - with Adam Thielen as his #1 target? No offense to Thielen but he shouldn’t be anyone's #1 receiver at this stage in his career. Maybe safety blanket. But not #1 guy. I'm just saying. When he's playing bad. It's ok to say he's playing bad. I know I do. But when he's looking good, it's ok to say he looks good, without caveats. Hopefully this is a turning point for him going forward, but he's never going to consistently meet your passing criteria with a receiving group that isn't put together to put up big numbers. Other QBs have receivers that make people miss and break long plays all the time. We've rarely seen that this year at all. I mean I can't even recall a screen pass to a receiver that went over 15 yards all year. I don't know if he will definitely be the franchise QB, but going by his recent play he looks to be the part - to me and alot of impartial experts.
  10. So is that the QB's fault? Or are you just planning to hate everything Panthers until they win again?
  11. Why do some of you feel like you have to disprove the legitimacy of anything that paints Bryce Young in a positive light? Kinda weird when he's the QB of the team you root for and he showed huge improvement his second season. Is it just a habit now?
  12. And you know every team after Carolina had a long discussion with him before signing about how he was on a short leash. And this dude still wrecked his family's future. Selfish mofo. Or maybe he's playing 4D chess and trying to get the bag and a Lombardi at KC. Nah, Andy ain't putting up with that foolishness.
  13. Prime Smitty wouldn't have gotten this many chances. Maybe Moss or Megatron. Maybe. Antonio Brown and Josh Gordon were much better than Diontae could ever dream of being.
  14. He didn't just fumble the bag. He put that ish in a cardboard box. Put the box in a coffin. Then incinerated that bich!
  15. I agree those kind of players are needed, but shouldn't discount the importance of guys that can make something out of nothing. That's not always a QB's responsibility. And it shouldn't be. It makes it too difficult to win games when everything on one side of the ball depends on the QB. A strong running game and receivers that can make big plays are absolutely necessary to be successful. That's how you keep defenses honest.
  16. I agree with the first part. I don't think they get through Ravens or Bills though. Their defenses stop the run and pressure the QB. That's HOU's kryptonite.
  17. I wouldn't give up draft capital for a #1. This defense is devoid of talent in crucial positions. And this is the draft to greatly improve that side of the ball. We've gotta stop thinking we're smarter than everyone else. Draft defense heavy in a defensive draft. Draft offense heavy in an offensive draft. We did that last year, just gotta get away from those damn RAS scores - and injured players. Side note - I honestly think we could have drafted Ladd and XL last year if we would have held put. Ladd at 33 and XL at 39. We don't need a #1 WR. We need weapons. Guys that know what to do with the ball in their hands. I just don't feel like we have that right now. Bryce looks like the most elusive player on the team. That is not a good thing. We can find weapons 3rd - 5th rounds. Now that I think about it, I don't want Bryce thinking he has to force the ball to any player - see Diontae Johnson. That's not his game and I don't think he has the velocity to force passes like Penix and Nix. Draft BPA. Fortunately/Unfortunately we need EVERYTHING right now. With a heavy focus on defense early.
  18. My man is reading an instruction manual on the sidelines of a playoff game. WTF?!
  19. And that is why an actual wide receiver is better than a RAS guy. Just catch the ball and step out of bounds. Doing way too much.
  20. Thinking I would have used Devonta on that fake Tush Push pass.
  21. That's a grown man run! Got a football from Jacobs in LV against the Texans in 2022. I think he scored like 3 TDs that day.
