I said this in the other bfail thread.

"BFail, has burned all the bridges. I stood up for him while he was here but now I wish I hadn't. What a complete tool bag. Have fun watching from the sidelines after they Steven Ridley your ass for dropping a wide open pass from Mr. Hair Club For Men."

Had a feeling after Harper signed that he was gonna be another Mike Mitchell type (i.e. fans who hated him as an opponent would like him as a Panther).

 

This is the kind of thing that lends to that.

Can't go that far at all. I will be happy though, if he doesn't cheap shot other players and cost us penalties.

I don't get why players, especially stupid ones, don't take into account things like system/terminology or fitting that system.  It's not hard to know what system a team runs, or that there really aren't so many changes between teams that run the three major systems; if you know your system, you're not starting from scratch, you know the language, you know the plays you'll do best with. 

 

But, he's an average player that's trying to be the 4th best player at his position on a new team, so who knows whether he had the option to choose systems or whether he wanted to stay with numbers/Coryell.  

 

The only thing you know for sure is, he stands to have fewer snaps available this year and he's made plenty of comments about struggling with change.

I get the feeling that Harper is one of those guys that goes all in for his team (ie: Smitty or Mike Mitchell). Hate him when he's not on your side, love his emotion and passion when he is (though we'll still love Smitty in Baltimore, but I mean all other NFL fans).

 

I think as the season rolls and Harper has more opportunities like this to stick up for his team, we're going to grow to like his passion. I just hope he plays well on the field, that much remains to be seen.

Ha, just realized my post above is exactly what you said. What I get for not reading the whole thread.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
