As much as I wanted him a Panther, I'm happy Stroud has found success. And I'm glad he's proved so many doubters wrong.

And S2 tests, the true measure of success.

Okay sure he can throw bombs. But how's his dinner table game?

The undermining the coach is why he has to go. He's just a Tepper pawn and the org doesn't need more people like that.

Let me put it this way - we know what the numerator is in this case, a throw to an open receiver. If the denominator is the total number of passes attempted, it doesn't tell us if a receiver was open on a play and thus it doesn't tell us if Bryce actually made a bad read. If the denominator is the number of plays in which a receiver is open and a throw is attempted, it would tell us more on that. Aka, is Bryce not throwing to open men because nobody is open? That is actually what I think this figure might show from the last time it came up. Average separation isn't a great measure on if players are always open on plays, but it indicates approximately if receivers are getting space... It will be really badly skewed if a team has a heavily targeted guy good at getting open (what I suspect is going on with Goff)... Ours is towards the middle/ low end of that, which is consistent with what I think of our receivers... Our receivers are better than a lot of the crazy defenders of Bryce say, but they're still pretty bad, lol. There are plays where nobody is actually open... It seems about half of our passing plays are like that.

It is definite progress, but if he keeps fitt it won't make too much difference in results IMO.

That does sound like Fitterer is gone...

I'd like mroe detail on what percent of throws to open men mean. For instance, is it percent of throws to open men out of total percent of throws, or out of total percent of throws in which a player was open? That's an important distinction.

Bosa has twice the QB hits and more sacks in his 'down' year. He's just a more complete player Burns doesn't deserve what he's asking for, if he really wants 30 mil+.

Eh Evero is a good coordinator. But he doesn't have great pieces for his scheme. Possible Brown is the same, hard to tell. Evero's D, between injuries and the shittiness of our offense, is working under impossible strain and still doing OK. Good enough to repeatedly put us in position to win games with even an average offense.

Our OL isn't even the worst in the league. Our overall receiving group (that is, including TEs) might be. Doesn't matter how much time you give a QB if he can't find someone to throw to.

Can't wait to see what frequently injured player we overpay for in 2026.

I don't know how Fitterer survives unless he's wedged so far up Tepper's ass, he's impossible to remove.

I wouldn't say we've rebuilt the Bears just yet but we've certainly given them all the tools to rebuild themselves lol

The degree of compounding errors has been insane... And it all comes down to Tepper's impatience. From moving on from Cam to Teddy to Darnold (and the extension) ... To Mayfield... To Bryce... The total compensation in dollars and draft picks we've spent on QBs since Tepper is deeply depressing

I mean unless there's poo we don't know about happening behind closed doors, the NFL isn't gonna force tepper to sell, lol

sounds like something tepper would do. going to assemble the allstar front office with a million cooks.

holy fug would that be incredible, hahahaha

never gonna happen... the vast majority of NFL players are far more mature than Tepper, and all of 'em know what would happen if they crossed an owner like that.

the NFL is gonna do something, they have to. This isn't just a Charlotte thing, it's all over the NFL. you're probably right on the one game left thing tho... Tepper should still own up to it and apologize.

they shouldn't be forced to be the first people in the org to comment, even if the comment is "no comment." it really isn't fair to them.

the one thing that can bring virtually every poster together on this board... Tepper being an asshat.

I dunno man, AR has 3 2+ TD games ... in only 4 games. For a rookie. While you're right about being somewhat adverse throwing downfield, for him, it isn't an arm strength issue, at least. And he's only 21... I would def be worried about injuries tho.

So I basically agree with you on the relative merit of FSU overall, but man, good for those players for opting out. Why risk significant injury in a basically-worthless bowl game?

my comment was based on the (supposedly credible) reports of him taking responsibility. I've learned that just 'cause someone accept responsibility doesn't mean poo if they don't change the fuging behavior that lead to them needing to take responsibility in the first place!
