Byron Bell starting is a "fait accompli"


SCP

Recommended Posts

I've been down on Byron's play since his first season starting, but it looks like he's starting to put it together.

 

Great for him and the team. Keep doing well and the Huddle's harsh criticism will turn into a love fest quicker than you can say "Philly Brown".

I have always thought of "fait accompli" as "yeah too late...been decided.." Meaning I don't think it has a positive connotation. Or as someone said "it is what it is."

Like whenever I asked for a raise in the corporate world.

i've always considered it to mean "it's a done deal" with neither good nor bad connotations...not so much "it is what it is" as much as "what's done is done".

Semantics my boy. It is what it is and what's done is done, either way your destiny is sealed.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
