Pejorative Miscreant

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.

Thank you for the rationally and thoughtful post. What you say makes total sense. Are you new here?

You could just repost this statement in about 80-90% of all threads and it would track.

There is no tongue biting on The Google. If you sit him 3-4 games the narrative is why trade up to the number 1 pick if he is not ready and you dont want to play him. Pitchforks would be out for Reich and Fitt. Then when he gets in week 4 and makes a rookie mistake we would be having this same conversation. Same level of misery, just in a different bucket. I personally prefer to watch his progression week to week rather than manufacturing a crisis on every miscue.

When he was traded last year I think there was talk about him no being comfortable talking. He could be totally done as others said but I do think it’s in his nature to be aloof.

Memories are short when the predictions are incorrect.

Is it me, or does comparing a rookies performance playing in his first game, to the body of work of arguably the greatest QB of all time seem a wee bit irrational? Are we really talking about 6 GOAT playoff games when the kid hasn't played 6 quarters of football yet? People already on the Bryce bust train may end up being correct, but I think 4 quarters of football is not enough to draw conclusions.

Yes. Not sure it would be a method I would choose but I’m an old ass man and not a 25 year old star that grew up with social media. He is showing up to work and doing his job so who am I to judge.

It’s the vocal keyboard minority I believe. Just accumulating the negative.

Game comes down to the QB that makes the fewest mistakes and our beloved Rookie will not be rattled dammit! 27-20 is my pick.

I feel good about the team and will feel better if they win Sunday. They will still have a lot to prove though. I can’t go into game one miserable. Still 16 more to go.

Yep. This sums it up nicely. I know people talk about honor and morals but at the end of the day it’s about maximizing wealth.

Scarcity is a real thing and whether you like it or not there is a premium on pass rushers. He will get a large sum and people will complain but it’s just the nature of the business. Good for BB.

What's his Huddle handle?

We will never know but I think fitt got hired he read the room, saw the train wreck and went with it. Probably didn’t sabotage rhule but simply let Rhule hang himself. that said I don’t know how much I blame fitt for draft picks but am willing to give him benefit of the doubt
