That’s how it’s works. San Fran did it, Bills did it, Dolphins did it, Chiefs did it...Seahawks before Russell, Patriots are now going through it with Cam....Colts about to do it There are some years of growing pains and mistakes before these teams compete and also so periods of some stop gap QBs like the teams above did for 2-3 years Besides the rare couple of exceptions these growing pains are the norm, what teams are you all watching that makes you think the Panthers are so special they don’t have to go through the process and are the only ones making these mistakes? At least TB was only signed for two years...just think of Wentz, Goff, and other teams that gave massive contracts they need to unload - I’d rather they wait longer and do it right before royally fuging up like that some of you are seriously unrealistic and melodramatic about the situation and need to just sit the hell back and realize it’ll take time

That’s social intelligence. There is a correlation between high social intelligence and low emotional intelligence. Not to say everyone is the same but there are plenty of examples and research on it. And no it can’t be revealed by public speaking. Public speaking reveals how effective someone is at public speaking, little else.

It’s been the downfall of human kind since the dawn of man. It’s why cunning criminals get lesser sentences and on the flip side judges get their position, serial killers are able lure victims, it’s why an employer looks for a shitty working extrovert instead of a hardworking introvert, it’s why all politicians are essentially garbage but no one votes for the person they don’t like watching and hearing speak - and that’s not just politics. Imagine there being a population of people who can do things much better but they lack this appeal/skills. It exists, it’s reality. It’s basically human stupidity to judge on such a meaningless detail and it’s sad - not that it’s not a skill, it is, that shouldn’t be overlooked. But it’s sad because it’s placed above ability. I could go on and on but basically extroverts and seemingly open trusting people make lazy, stupid people feel good and they’ll always be the majority.

It’s funny I am at that age (35) never married, with my girl for three years now...starting to feel the pressure every single one of my friends I relate to and get along with who are married say the same thing, they’d never have done it so many people say this now days, if I don’t marry now I don’t think I ever will but you all being in sync with this stuff scare me

My girl got this for me for Christmas (PS4)...still shrink wrapped because of everything I read... think I read in March CD is going to release a massive fix anyone have issues on ps4? I have the ps4 pro and supposedly it’s better on it than the original until March guess I’ll see what Valhalla is about. If only someone gave me $1500 for a new PC this wouldn’t be an issue

my Gfs good friend works in the higher ups there she said the pandemic created a ton of issues...mainly people didn’t want to work and were worried about exposure this led to people quitting and getting laid off, usps were finding people who would work then...yep you guessed it, people starting filing legal action involving government job terms so now they’re paying some people but they’re not working...can’t fill already filled positions etc. probably more complicated than that

Wait I’m confused... would you trade your wife for the opportunity to not do it over again?

the flaming cam stans cleared this place out for the first couple years...have to admit it was unbearable for a while

The fact the NFL has changed isn’t a narrative. Cherry picking P Manning’s rookie year in 1998 and comparing to Winston’s 5th in 2019 seems like twisting something. Don’t even know how you compare the best of all time with Winston anyhow. As I said...Favre is more comparable. When Winston can put up 18 seasons and super bowl appearances, yea we can start looking at his bad season as an anomaly/outlier or part of his play like Favre. The fact so far though is he was on a super bowl caliber team and brought them no where.

Lol yea Manning’s rookie season and Favre did it after a decade and yea both came close in like 15+ season career and they also played in a time QBs and WRs got knocked around Jameis beat em both in only 5 years in a pass happy, protected league with rules to benefit him and to add to the obvious he’s no Manning he’s not Favre either, though it’s be a better comparison except again, Favre did it better in a harder era No thanks.

Yea I don’t think his issues are coachable...not so strong in the decision making and constant INTs his entire career. How do you even throw 30 INTs in a season? Yea, it’s Brady but the fact they literally replaced him with Brady and now they’re in their super bowl tells me a lot. That’s has always been a talented team. Regardless...do I see Winston getting a team to a super bowl? No. I think he’s an OK QB but late Cam and TB has this board falling in love with any QB who can sling it without caring about anything else.

Trading Watson would screw the Texans cap wise even getting picks. I have a feeling they just might let him sit and I believe he himself will sit. Good article on what trading Watson means for the Texans. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.battleredblog.com/platform/amp/2021/2/3/22263884/the-houston-texans-cant-trade-deshaun-watson

Captain Munnerlyn?

For cheap? Not giving away aroun firsts? Sure. But he won’t won’t be cheap.

As an avid football fan idgaf I watch any game I can anywhere I can. You all must forget those pre and post draft withdrawals from not being able to watch football then when September comes around you’re on the brink of death for a game, any game Tis yet another long road ahead... fug yea I’ll be watching

Early you say...I feel like it’s been the off-season for the past three years

The past two decades of super bowl contenders do have a franchise QB as a top correlation... but it’s #3. The first two? 1. Top defense 2. Top oline With literally a few anomalies. There are tons of examples throughout history of poor teams with a franchise QB who went no where. Like for example the 2020 Texans. If you have nothing to build with AND and team need building, a franchise QB will not matter. You see success in these scenarios when a franchise QB goes to a team that is already solidly built. See the 2020 Bucs. They’re full of mercenaries yes but also have always been full of talent. They should have been competitors for years. Winston literally threw 30 interceptions last year. A great a example of a team benefitting from a rediculoous trade like this is Miami - not to mention the capital they have. San Fran also a good example. The rebuilding Panthers who literally have no oline and a bottom ranked defense is almost the best possible example of a team who would get crippled with this kind of trade - especially giving up two defensive players which is basically all we really have.

It’s funny how people think the Panthers did Cam wrong but sacrificed two seasons waiting for him to rehab without so much as looking at another QB. Now all these people are now complaining the Panthers aren’t finding a franchise QB fast enough.

Wait you meant it doesn’t take just one off-season to secure a long term franchise qb? some of you guys really need to look at the history of franchise QBs It’s extremely rare to go back to back with great qbs like Montana/young, Beldsoe/Brady, Farve/rodgers Just doesn’t happen. The teams who have their guy now, chiefs, Ravens, chargers, bills, Seahawks etc etc have had several poo years and misses beforehand the Panthers aren’t special, they’re not getting there without putting in their time they are one year removed from cam, give it some time and mistakes for things to work out

Same. Except I was expelled in 9th grade. I was a bad, dangerous kid and I can honestly say that now looking at it as a past life and that’s why I was homeschooled. I was smart but I just didn’t care. My mom also had a meltdown. I didn’t have two parents who helped. But they also didn’t stick my in an alternative school. Dad worked 15 hours a day and mom worked part time and had 3 siblings to take care of. I can say whenever I struggled there immediately went out and hired a top rated tutor for that subject. A luxury not everyone can afford. I don’t even think we could’ve I’m sure it was a debt to my family paying for an o line private school and tutors. The more I read about it I think socioeconomic status may skew homeschooler results more than just having shitty parents. But it’s probably mixture and the fact some kids need that social environment to learn where as some such as myself, need to learn without it. I know an army wife right now, husband is deployed with two kids and a full time job and I know she is struggling with the whole homeschool thing. Her kids want no part of it.

It is sad to see Tepper try and play with the big boys with $1 chips that Hurney left him hopefully he won’t ever make that mistake again

Ahhh we call that smart

But but but rhule and Brady and Tepper think TB is their guy and are idiots deerrp

Oh you’re talking about having sex? lol southern people are so funny we call that normal and healthy and that’s why it feels great

As someone who was home schooled throughout high school, and went to college have a good career etc. and looking at the statistics home schoolers do just as well if not better in academics and further in college AND these stats have nothing to do with social intelligence (the main knock on us home schoolers)...I wonder why it failed to this extent. I was doing all these things in high school long before this pandemic (almost 20 years ago) video/ telephone meetings and chats, virtual learning, regular 8 hour school days...seemed normal to me. Guess preparation and the fact it was rushed in a pandemic situation. Suppose it depends on the specific child. Or maybe my parents were just on top of it. Still thought it would do better than this.
