Confirmation bias

I mean, "touted" by pundits who get paid to guess. The 2015 Panthers were touted by Sports Illustrated as the worst team in the NFC South. It's never gonna get better until you add talent, competent coaching (not coaching PR), and get Tepper out of the picture.

Rhule had better players. He was just a different breed of the same suck.

I didn't expect Frank Reich to be sub-2001 Seifert in planning and leadership, but here we are.

Their numbers were identical, idk about "thoroughly outplayed" lol

Believe the 40-yard completion to Mingo against Houston was in stride as he broke in his route

The offensive line is at the center of the factors costing the offense, with the QB, WRs and coaching staff also at fault. The definition of "objectivity" is not "single out one problem and conveniently ignore the rest," and it will never be the definition -- not even after you say someone is having a meltdown or after you condescendingly ask if they're gonna be OK.

There's Step 5, right on cue.

1) make outlandish claim 2) outlandish claim is easily debunked 3) move the goalposts 4) accuse people of coping, caping and being weird 5) condescendingly ask people if they're gonna be OK 6) repeat for months on end

Imagine caping for someone who said Bryce's stats are eerily similar to Clausen's, then calling out someone else

When you do it, it's logical, but when anyone else does it, it's cherry picking. Sure.

Nah, this is a journalism job first and foremost. Their social dept is separate

Someone will compare Bryce to Dameyune Craig and Burns to Al Wallace

Yeah Bryce ain’t Clausen. One similar stat is what people typically refer to as “cherry picking” if it doesn’t suit their narrative. He sucked out loud Sunday though. But there’s no way around the fact he was also better than Stroud the week before. The reactionary crowd who goes from “0-17” to “we’re going 6-6” to “Bryce is the worst QB who ever lived” keep me on here. It’s entertaining. More so than the games, really. I Ekwonu all of them so I can still read their drivel (Ekwonu = refusal to block)

I like Barno but that means he’ll embarrass himself

He’s already had one?

Define "long".

It's been pretty well-documented (aside from my own personal experiences) that Panther fans are some of the worst in all of professional sports. Some of it comes from expecting the pro teams to be as good as Duke or Carolina basketball every year. And not like Matt Doherty Carolina basketball, but that's no excuse. Fans are pretty toxic at the games.

The ironic thing is, his second pick was bc he threw it *too* hard, but it's used to show he has a weak arm

I defintely foresee No. 33 and 2025 No. 1 overall going for a cornerback at 17

I'd love a good 375-yard game but hell, Cam only had a few of those in his entire career. Plus, with the WRs he's good, you're talking probably 200 yards of those needing to come from Thielen -- which, I hope he makes All-Pro, but we both know that situation won't come to pass. Regarding the special moments, this was absolutely filthy, the type play that's better than most of Stroud's throws. Pressured, spins out of a sack, eyes downfield, deep throw on target to a WR who is not wide open: This throw on 4th and 2 is impressive both from QB and WR. A 15-play, 86-yard drive to win a game would be "damn, AR's got that clutch gene, supercomputer midget processor can't do that" if it happened in Indy: So, yeah, I agree. I'd like to have seen some more big plays and coming from someone who wanted Stroud all the way, it sucks that this team once again made the wrong pick. But until time travel exists, we're stuck with who we have, and there's no use becoming a Texans fan over it. If he gets better, great. A good OL sure would help. but if not, hey, the No. 1 overall's only one season away.

The super processor poo is funny bc often, as has been proven on game clips, there’s nothing to process because no one is open when he completes his drop and there are two DL in his lap — in which case it’s “he hold muh ball too lawng” to a certain few. inb4 “ur defending broken super computer processor megahertz AOL laptop midget” One can point out factual inaccuracies and still say a game is indefensible
