  1. It was a sincere offer. Straight up. If people actually wanted a positivity thread I'd provide it and enforce it.
  2. You honestly can. You don't like it but you can take it. Others can't. Anything not glowingly positive sends them into a spiral. We're 0-6. We are at or near the bottom of the league in most passing metrics. Bryce hasn't been able to demonstrate an ability to effectively throw beyond 29 yards. THAT is the flash that I want to see.
  3. Unpinning. The offer was made and it's unwanted so stop complaining.
  4. Well, I tried. Note who brought the negativity to the positive vibes only thread. Someone is most certainly throwing a hissy fit. Honestly, I'd create a positive takes only sub-forum if I could but I'm just a lowly mod.
  5. Based on what? Where is the actual proof that he can effectively throw deep in the NFL?
  6. It's clear that there are some posters here that do not want to encounter any less than glowing opinions regarding the Panthers. This is your thread where I promise there will be no negativity allowed here. Seriously, I'll ban folks. The people who want only be positive should have a place to go.
  7. I just asked a simple question. Why so sensitive? Am I actually wrong that this is all very similar to Teddy's time here?
  8. This is so reminiscent of Teddy. The inability to throw deep. The conservative approach. The small group of folks trying to cope.
  9. I LMAO when they literally ran a one man hail Mary from 1 yard out. Like... really? THAT was the best you've got there??? I was thinking maybe roll out your mobile QB with a fade to Waller, maybe a drag across the back of the endzone coming behind it. Run a slant over the top of the primarily as a clear out. But one route? Just a hail Mary one read jump ball from the one yard line? LOLOLOL I would've fired my OC right there on the spot.
  10. Did you catch their game this weekend? A run with 14 seconds from two yards out with no timeouts right before half. Barkley came up short and time expired and they came up empty. Same situation at the end of the game. They ran a passing play where only one man ran a route. Waller basically ran a vertical pattern (from the 1 yard line) and all other eligible receivers basically just stood there. It was utterly bizarre. I get making your 6'7" TE your #1 option in that situation but you're gonna run a double or die play that is going to win or lose this game with only one option? C'mon man...
  11. I think "pocket time" is misleading. I think "time to throw" is more accurate. Howell is good at buying time and he'll make throws knowing he's about to get clobbered. I wouldn't consider that "pocket time". It's simply a measurement of how long it typically takes a QB to deliver a pass.
  12. They have the second worst OL in the league behind the Giants from what I've seen. Their pass protection is practically non-existent. One of the reasons I'm so down on Bryce is because of what I'm watching Howell do with even worse OL protection, granted he does have an elite receiver in McLaurin.
  13. The two longest white dots were dropped balls that would've been TDs. It doesn't show up on a stat sheet but it still makes the D respect your ability to go deep. Howell is a top five deep ball thrower in the NFL right NOW.
  14. Well, Daniel Jones is terrible and the Giants have the worst OL in the league. Purdy is a system guy surrounded by elite talent. Hurts chucked two 40+ and completed two 25+. You don't have to air it out all game long. We saw the heating Cam took with Shula trying to do that. But offense is a lot easier if you establish a viable vertical threat and without it you better have elite weapons with a QB that has elite accuracy and anticipation. Maybe Bryce could do that with the right supporting cast in the right system but it's going to be very difficult to recreate what the Niners and Dolphins have built.
  15. His bro brah poo grates on me but the guy understands his demographic. The sports media demographic and the bro brah demographic Venn diagram has a lot of overlap. He's a helluva lot better than the Skip Bayless/Stephen A Smith/Jim Rome/Colin Cowherd ilk. With that said, other than clips posted here I don't really pay any attention to any of them.
  16. Trying to find a green dot past 20 yards on a Bryce Young passing chart.
  17. He wasn't hand selected by David Tepper. But he's very clearly the best head coach we've had under Tepper and honestly I'm including Ron in that group.
  18. Worst record in the league. Worst stretch in franchise history. No more mediocrity indeed. Thanks Tepper! You did it! Rescued us from that dreaded empty hope of mediocrity by turning us into a hopeless doormat.
  19. Let the hate flow through you. I've only been a "homer" about the Heels players who I thought were actually elite NFL prospects.
  20. The Chargers and underperforming kinda go hand in hand. But yeah, Herbert is starting to show why the Oregon coaches didn't trust him. One of my big hangups with him as a prospect was that in the clutch they took the ball out of his hands. They were a running team almost exclusively when the chips were down. It always made me go hmmm... what do they know that we don't?
  21. Dak leaves the TD pass hanging just out of reach. Cowboys settle for a FG. Chargers will get it down 3 at the 25 with 2:19 to go and all three timeouts. Let's see it Herbert.
