Pejorative Miscreant

I think the verdict is still out on Bryce and I dont think I can make a clear "judgement" until some of the stuff around him is cleaned up. Not saying he should have perfection but the offense, play calling and scripting we have done for Bryce clouds the picture in my opinion. I would say I need a full season to start forming an educated opinion and another one to see if it is validated.

I don't want to throw a pity party for Bryce Young. If you are poised for being the number 1 pick it comes with a lot of this unfortunately. I'm more inclined to have greater sympathy for guys like Zavala who are thrown into roles they are clearly not ready for. I think BY is a step above but still makes mistakes so to me the verdict is still out regarding his ability. One thing that I do hate for BY is that we have done nothing to assist him or help him grow. Receivers suck, play calling sucks, protection sucks and coaching sucks. If BY has this great processor, then it takes about 0.2 seconds after each snap to realize he is fugged.

So BY needs to buy his WRs new mobility scooters for Christmas.

Well said. I come in here expecting crazy takes and the over the top posts. Previously it was entertaining but lately it has amped up to a Tinderbox level. Maybe it is inevitable with social media but yeah, I can see why folks would choose to avoid this place.

I would be very surprised at a mid season firing but one would hope that Reich loosens up things for BY. I am not totally out on BY at this point but there are huge red flags. Some can be cleaned up (homer hope?) but right now the coaching staff seems to be magnifying them rather than masking.

At this point I am inclined to side with you on this and think that Frank has been a detriment to Bryce. I think they have scripted crap for him to a point that it is hindering his ability to perform and that scripting often goes awry. He definitely has some things to work on and there are many questions/concerns but it seems like we are watching the same game every week. Get down to or near the red zone. Team has momentum on the back of a good play. There is confusion, play clock goes down to 2 seconds and burn a time out. That seems to be a regular theme. They pulled Bryce on 4th and 1 and let Dalton do the sneak yesterday. Got the first down and I think the very next play he was in on there was some last second crap again where they were late getting lined up. That stuff needs to be a lot more crisp and until it is the game will not flow for him.

Mediocrity is something we should aspire to at this point

Per tradition, they will probably be in the game till middle of the 3rd and the wheels will likely fall off.

Having watched the games, this chart is about as surprising as a 1st down, 1.5 yard run by Miles Sanders.

Wrong. Miles only runs in 5 foot increments.

This ain’t cool either, Miles

Enough with all that rational logic stuff.

Only way to be truly happy is to be miserable

I’m gonna stick here in the huddle and read all the cool threads.

Theey can fake that shiit. You ever see that moon landing bs?

I would be fine if he was getting worked into a rotation here and there but no way should he be starting. Eventually he may be starter quality but that remains to be seen. I get Byron Bell vibes right now with Zavala. Not in terms of talent but in terms of situation. I actually felt bad for Bell because they consistently put the guy in a position where he was called to do more than what he is capable of.

I’m an NC State grad and fan. I’m built for shitty to mediocre football/sports teams. Back in my day (only old ass men say that) we didn’t have the google to whine so we learned to cope with cheap piss warm beer. Gonna take a lot more than than a retread coach and a clueless hedge fund billionaire to run me off.

DBs are a problem but I think the panther D is legit. If we can establish some sort of running game we have a punchers chance. I know there will be a lot of garbage talk about the offense flourishing without BY but I don’t think his mistakes and maturity have been the main issue thus far.

You are right. If for nothing else many will watch to take notes for post topics. I mean, if a person posts on a fan forum all week and can’t be bothered to watch/follow the actual game (not speaking about folks with life priorities which take precedent), then I think the status changes from fan to troll.

I’m a fan of the team so I will generally watch no matter what.

What if some Beverly Hillbilly Oklahoma City oil tycoon was awarded the franchise instead of JR? We wouldn’t be having this conversation.

Nice post. Thanks for paying attention to an older guy. BTW, That pie I gave is for your dad.

I saw an ad on YouTube TV promoting Hallmark channel’s Christmas movie marathon. Given some of the posts I’ve seen, this may be a healthy alternative for some folks.
