Panthera onca

It will be nice to have Coker back. I like his game.

It's a good analysis, though

Certainly it was nothing new that hasn't been discussed over and over on here.

That was fully intentional, because something people who engage in hyperbole can't stand is to be systematically told why and how they don't have a clue. It's the prevalence of this farcical idea that everyone's opinions are valid and the more impassioned they are about them, the more valid they are.

And the point of the post wasn't merely to cut the knees of the exaggerators, but to illustrate why it shouldn't seem miraculous that someone like Mayfield and Darnold could come through Charlotte and fail and then suddenly seem much more successful elsewhere, when the reality is that there's far more to being successful at that position than one's own talent. It's also why young quarterbacks like Caleb Williams and Cam Ward deserve much longer leashes to determine their long-term viability and not be written off immediately, because the circumstances surrounding them are hardly conducive to success.

Yes, in the absence of your big brain, those points have been discussed ad nauseum around here. Most stable individuals can see that the org sucks since Tepper took over. We can’t change that fact so we debate Bryce’s viability as a QB into oblivion. Bryce has shown the occasional flash but it is year 3 and decisions have to be made. I personally don’t think he’s cut out for this but as a fan of the Panthers I hope that somehow it works.

Pick the guys that produce on the field, even if they do not have the RAS score that another guy might have. Nothing can replace production. It was mentioned above, but getting productive players from big schools will usually translate to NFL success.

Also, has anyone noticed how legitimately insane OP's post actually is?

It's taking credit(tongue in cheek, hopefully?) for some funny event from Huddle past, then explaining that because they now work for PFF they have some sort of super brain knowledge of football that they hadn't before. 

It's actually mostly condescending in a way that lacks a lot of self awareness for.....a PFF stat nerd.

And I say that as a stat nerd myself.

The post was incredibly condescending and the OP came off as a huge Richard.

Look at me! I'm the smartest guy in the room! Everyone else here are idiots!

Nice research. The Bryce GWD nonsense is just a lazy narrative for the Stans to prop up the little guy. Miami was probably the best of those but he’s the reason we were behind in the first place and had Rico producing a historic game running the ball.

Stubborn coaches who are resistant to change even when things are not working well really annoy me.

Hopefully, this meeting doesn't end up as a miss like a Brian Burns sack.

Well it already worked since they held the meeting before the Dolphins game and had more sacks in that one game than the previous 4 games combined.

His quickness is amazing for a man that size.

Just tired of the Panthers going form one QB, to another to another to another to another to another to another. They had mayfiled but he wasn't good enough for anyone around here. They had Darnold but again, he wan't good enough for anyone around here. Now it's Bryce. I saw what he is capable of last season with Theilen and Coker. I'm not ready to give up on him simply because he's not performing to the same level with rookies, undrafted free agents and a reclamation project.

Plenty of folks wanted to hang on to Baker and Sam, especially Baker as he had already produced and been successful with a historically poor franchise. That was all Rhule being the idiot that he is famous for. Hanging on to a meh, unathletic, tiny QB with a weak arm and beta personality will only continue to torpedo this franchise into oblivion.

That little post game speech he gave over the stadium PA system was so meek, bland, uninspiring and milquetoast that it made me want to puke. We just pulled off the biggest comeback in franchise history and this dude sits there looking like he has to pee. Please please please let’s move on to whoever is next.

This cranky person is either a close relative of Bryce or else has a massive man crush on him. 

Have you actually watched him play? This is laughable.

Tuka gonna die on the hill he built lol

I mean, you guys can be satisfied all you want. The two teams that we have beaten have helped us win to varying degrees. I'm not going to be fooled again by hollow wins. We haven't actually beaten a decent team in years. If we actually beat a good team, then perhaps we'll have something legitimate to get hopeful about, but even then we have to string some quality wins together.

It is hard to win in the NFL. I’m never going to put an * next to a Dub.

He’s available again, the Raiders cut him.

Kick the tires?

Nice veteran depth if nothing else.

If Tep will not change the field back to grass on his own, it will have to be collectively bargained by the player's union during the negotiations for the next labor agreement.

Bryce is the disease. The worst kind of disease. The incurable kind that never goes away. We can all imagine what those are.

It would have hurt Bryce’s widdle feelings to bring in competition at QB.

There's a large portion of the fanbase who wanted McConkey and XL could never satisfy and now the Bryce apologists are using the he has no one to throw to defense they've been using since before the draft.  I don't know if XL will be a serviceable WR at this point but I'm willing to give him a chance with competent QB play

The NFL is a performance and results based league. XL has done absolutely nothing to be given the benefit of the doubt, crappy QB play from Bryce notwithstanding. 

There was nothing the least bit disrespectful about that question. That is a crazy assertion.

The attendance and energy at the last home game was awesome. Not sure what you are implying there.

WW3 would be triggered if the NFL tried to dump this poo show on some unsuspecting Euro country.

Ok, I’m beginning to not like this jackass. How about some stock answer about taking the time off to study defensive formations and ask questions and study film? Oh and how much you missed playing the game alongside your brothers. Maybe he really is just stupid.

Yes, please. Start him for the rest of the season. If he sucks, draft the next hero. If he shows he can play then you are good to go.
