Somebody fill me in....who is this guy and does he know anything about football or the Panthers? I believe I spelled his name wrong (Kroeger I guess it is) and it appears he was an intern or something in the past. Was it that hard for them to find a guy with some airtime experience or ex-jock to fill the slot? I don't listen to local sports radio untill training camp starts and was hoping they would actually fill the spot with someone worth listening to.

He's from Charlotte and is an App grad. Not quite sure what else he's done but he did a pretty good job today I thought. But I have no clue what he knows about the panthers. Most of today was spent talking about the Hornets.

He seems to be a Panther fan and a Hornets fan. He's a local guy that cares about the local teams, I'm perfectly fine with that. Better than bringing in some national guy that knows dick and roots for some other squad. I like the new line up. It pretty much ensures that we will have Panther and Hornet talk from 6am -7pm.

I listened to it today and thought he did a good job. QCB is still there unfortunately. I would rather have a native charlottean than a someone like marc James telling us how sorry our team, city, stadium and fans are compared to Seattle and Miami.

Pie for starting this thread. Was thinking of doing the same thing once my liver was adequately basted. 

 

That said I thought he is worth following for a while.  I think he demonstrated pretty good knowledge today and can carry a show.  I like that a lot but I think the other thing I like even more was that he did not spend 4 hours slurping himself (see mark who doesnt deserve the recognition of a c james)

 

I thought he was engaging and will tune in again.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
