Panthers open as 4.5 point favorites. You get three points for being at home so Vegas thinks we are only 1.5 points better than the one win saints.. 

Tells you what they think about the team and our ability to score

It tells you what they think about the betting publics thoughts on putting money on the game.

I didn't say anything about him being a Tar Heel guy. Just that he's a local guy.

Im saying its Tar Heel fans who would do that.

I root for all Panthers to succeed regardless but college affiliation means zero to me

Though so. It would be interesting. 

Given how strongly Young is hated around here with the fact Howell local, I bet he could play like crap and everyone would still absolutely love him. lol

Everyone is like 3 Tar Heel fans.

The only thing I could see is buying is depth somewhere like OL if injuries dictate.

Young:

55% completion 

102 yds

1 int

48.3 rating

He gets no credit for this win

All I see is McDonald's ads

Ughh

Because he did...

I'm as much a Bryce critic as anyone but the reality is he played well enough to help the team win yesterday.

Dowdle was a big part of it. The defense was a big part of it. But yes, Young was a big part of it too. It's mental gymnastics to say otherwise.

Chad Pennington helped win games. Rex Grossman helped win games. Hell, even David Carr helped win games. That's the way it works in a team sport. 

Criticize Bryce all you want (I do) but don't cross the line into saying stupid things in the process.

Dowdle had more rushing yards than Young had passing yards and both tds. 

Dowdle was the offense along with 1 clutch kick.

All real commentary Ive seen says Dowdle and the Defense helped a struggling QB.

I dont look at Twitter or social media sports accounts. Most are likely AI generated

Move him to guard.

Why on earth would you move a good tackle to guard when we have good guards?

 If hes healthy use him. If we are fortunate enough not to need him to carry the offense later in the game they can dial back on his carries.

Considering Tuttle has done nothing

 Brown is a significant improvement from Tuttle

They are neck and neck in production per game. He may be an improvement but given how limited his role is its not very impactful.

Which is why I said I expected him to have more impact.

I expected Brown to be more impactful. Hopefully Wharton is coming on now. He's getting more snaps now that both are playing.

Rozeboom is decent after the terrible start.

You seriously think a 5'9" 185 lb kid can fool everyone into think he was 6'1" 215lbs and had Tom Brady's football experience just standing on the sidelines at the combine? Tell me you do not believe that? Everyone in each organization met with him in person. He cannot hide anything. 

Agreed. Completely bizarroworld logic that I cant follow at all being pushed

Drafting him was a mistake but blaming him is strange.

Its really strange anyone would think that the scouts and gms and coaches are fooled by baggy shirts and weight gain while the only people who notice are fans watching on tvs and computer screens.

I think he is saying that Bryce materially misrepresented himself during the draft process so, in fact, he is at least partly to blame for be over drafted.

IOW.  Bryce gamed the system like a con man and should be held accountable for it.

Who wouldnt? The entire combine prep is exactly that for every single participant.

Not completely. Bryce heavily participated in the draft process. From packing on extra weight and hiding it under baggy clothes, to repeated practicing for the S2 test that miraculously is hyped beyond all recognition then never heard about again, while Stroud was trashed as an imbecile, and when his physical limitations were being called into question, he chose not to participate in combine drills. 

You could say it's not his fault where he was drafted, but I would disagree. I would say he certainly participated in getting himself drafted 1st overall and a larger guaranteed payday. 

Who wouldnt do that? You arent making any sense.

I was down after the humiliating loss last week but didnt understand why people were losing their poo over it. We were still 4 and 4 and looking like the modestly improved team we had hoped for. 

Im not confused by it. This is what I expected a team flirting with 500 could look like

Crying about a player within a hour of one of our best road wins maybe wins in general in a while is ridiculous. Just relax and enjoy it. We haven’t seen this in a minute. 

Thank goodness for Dowdle 

He made a few plays but 100 yards and an interception are nothing to brag about. We could have won handily with a productive QB. 

Happy to have Dowdle

Good. fug this conference.

How many years has Miami been unable to win the ACC? 22?  Wake has been better. What a flop that was.

Running backs and QBs have a symbiotic relationship. Its a team sport

A high ceiling and/or highly drafted QB that didn't pan out with the initial or subsequent teams. 

Mayfield was not a distressed asset. The Panthers made that appear to be the case.

Jones was an upper tier version of that what I am talking about but he also had success with the Giants. It was not all a mess. 

Think more of a Zach Wilson/Bryce Young/Sam Darnold classic bust.

Distressed assets are quality assets that are undervalued because of current management or ownership. Mayfield seems the perfect example. Browns and Panthers were what limited him. Not him.

Jones and Mayfield were acquired cheaply because of this. 

Young doesn't fit this unless you think hes actually much better than he appears to be.

Im not sure I understand the distressed asset analogy. 

Daniel Jones was a distressed asset. Mayfield  too. They had the abilities but had a low valuation because of their previous management. Bryce Young is limited by his own characteristics.

Am I the only one who looked at the other posts from that Twitter account?
