good for cade last time i'll tell this story he was originally a UGA recruit. when he came for his final visit, his dad was sitting down on a metal folding chair and accidentally chopped one of his fingers. But they're real country so he was just like "Well I got 9 more it's fine" and moved on with their lives. When Cade wanted to transfer to UT, UGA was initially going to block the transfer until his dad came by and was like "REMEMBER THAT FINGER I LOST?!" and UGA was like "okay fair."

seriously I think Billy could sell out BoA

I'll be for the new turf when they get Billy to do a stadium show once a year. Until then it's the worst thing that's happened to Charlotte sports since Ray Woolridge.

i got some bad news for you about the Panthers turf

you were half right

Getting traded to the Bears, then to the Bills, is like the platonic ideal of a former Panther career path. All that's left is a last year deal in carolina, 700 yards, a first round playoff loss, then a local charlotte restaurant and an endorsement deal with Safelite

Gonna free up Rozeboom to whiff on so many sacks I can't wait.

that's a lot of pressures on a team with Jordan Davis, Jalen Carter, Braun, Smith, etc, coached by Vic Fangio. We've got Derrick Brown, two corners, and then a bunch of guys named Greg.

these helmets also probably don't do much for CTE which is caused by tons of small impacts over the course of a career. So they're probably really good for middle and HS and college players since 99.9% won't be playing pro and (in theory) don't have to worry about that so much. if you can just minimally dissipate the impact from huge hits in youth football that's a worthy endeavor. in the pros, at the end of the day it's the biggest, fastest, strongest people slamming into each other. it's just physics at that point

contracts will always go up just because the cap goes up. pass rush, QB, LT are the premium positions and they'll always get record setting contracts now is this is the pass rusher to set that? eesh. i mean this is definitely the panthers top 2 or 3 need but man i dunno about this.

so just glancing at this which is the closest thing I've found to an actual study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11511751/ it seems like they're doing their best to recreate impacts in a controlled environment a football player receives, then designing helmets that dissipate the force from those impacts. Just off the top of my head the main questions I would ask are 1. how accurate are the lab conditions to real life and 2. how do you account for those differences so it's obviously honorable and worthy research I just don't know how meaningful it is to the actual game. Especially when players are coached to fake different injuries (guy gets up from an obvious concussion and all his team mates are telling him to rub his shoulder) or your dumbass running back will just throw the blue tent open and drag your obtunded qb back onto the field

i mean a lot of people say a lot of things about their equipment, but at the end of the day we don't have a lot of reliable live action data on concussions in game because, well... /glances jaxson dart

The helmets don't matter, unfortunately. Just like the tight neck compression things Just like the mouthpiece and hyperbaric chamber that dan Morgan used.

I mean....I guess. Panthers obviously needed a pass rusher. Just not sure its this player at this price tag with his injury history. Cap isn't real etc but that's an eye watering amount of money for him.

is it? are we signing Carter and Davis too? Also "QB pressure" is kind of a squishy stat. This feels like they're overcompensating after missing out on that DT on day one of FA last year.

Sure. But 28 sacks in 5 years….thats basically scourton without upside thats a lot of money depending on how it’s structured.

From another guy on another forum regarding BTT rate. Pats fan without a dog in the fight “No. It’s not deep balls - it’s passes that gain a lot of yards. In terms of completed air yards (total ball travel through the air) he was #20 in the league. Top five are: Stafford, Maye, Prescott, Lawrence, and Darnold with Goff at 6. When adjusted per completion, Young is 10th worst of QBs who qualify at 4.8 air yards per completion. He’s tied with Tua and Shadeur. Below him are Nix, Cousins, Geno, Dillon Gabriel, Kyler Murray, Throw Rogan, and Brady Cook. League avg is 5.8. The top of the CAY/CMP list is: Lamar with 7.7, Marcus Mariota at 7.6, Maye 7.5, Stafford 7.4, Mills 7.1, and Darnold & Lawrence are at 7 yards a piece.” and another…. ”I'm pretty sure "big time throws" are just a subjective thing given by whoever at PFF is charting the game for a throw that's really good, a big play could still not be a "big time throw" if it's like underthrown but the guy was wide open or a tight six yard throw could be big time if it was fired through triple coverage to convert 3rd down or whatever. It's just "nice throw" with a stat nerd gloss. Bryce was 17th in total # of throws 20+ yards downfield and would've easily been worse if guys like Lamar, Burrow, Purdy, Daniel Jones, etc. hadn't missed time. I can believe he was pretty ok at hitting downfield throws when he had the right look but he wasn't very prolific about it (which is why all these stats boosting him are rate stats instead of volume) and 1-2 nice tosses a game were drowned by the entire rest of his game which is why he was 36th in intended air yards per throw regardless of anything he did downfield (which again, may have been ok but on very middling volume)”

I’m surprised someone has finally decided he’s no longer a “young qb”

Piggy backing off what @LinvilleGorgementioned, I don’t think Canales puts much stock into individual players so much as he values his precious scheme. circumstances are obviously unclear and age is a factor but Thielen had good chemistry with him too. otoh he loves “his guys” so who knows people are complex shits difficult

Puca is right at the same rate. I think it just means both offenses are good at moving them around and hiding them in bunch formations etc.

They already let him walk once lol

What else do you call forcing a player to risk life and limb playing with Bryce for a year for chump change
