TNF: AFC South Showdown: Colts (3-2) at Texans (3-2)

The Luck bashing/hand wringing/fixation has got to be one the most puzzling things that drags on and on....stupefying... One of the stranger themes on this message board

 

It's just pure butthurt plain and simple. They treat Cam like a family member and anyone or anything that causes friction toward Cam they hate and must mock.

 

So in short, they hate: ESPN, Luck, all announcers, Collin Kaepernick, Russell Wilson, big city markets, Tom Brady, all referees, "haters", any fan who can logically find a fault with Cam, Shula, our O-line, or WRs drops, and most importantly ... themselves.

Lol people tend to "hate on" or bash the person or thing that's talked about a lot. So, I really don't know why people get butt hurt when folks on here talk about Lucky. It's also quite possible, not likely, but possible that he spurned us when he went back to school, so it's really not a shock people on here trash him. Humans are emotional creatures, were always tryna find someone to hate. Move around their posts or simply ignore those who you feel constantly bring up Lucky; its that simple.

It's funny, though. People on here bash Colin Kaeparnick and other QBs just as hard, yet no outrage when they do so.

So now the complaint is Luck is overrated because he throws too much?

DeMarco Murray leads the league in rushing attempts, is he overrated too?

I didn't call him over-rated, he is a fantastic QB. I am just saying that if other QBs threw the ball as much as him they would have similar numbers. Read the stats, Matt Ryan has 30 less attempts then him before Luck played last night game and is only 100 yards back. A good QB is not just about stats, and Andrew Luck clearly has those qualities, but saying he leads the league in yards when he throws almost 10 more balls a game than the average QB is not mind boggling to me.

No slight on him though, as much as I hate to see it he is clearly headed to the title of best QB in the game not to long from now. Luckily for the Panthers, second best will do just fine for us anyway. It won't hurt my feelings if Cam is the Brady to Luck as Manning ;)

Fitzpatrick actually had a better QB rating and completion percentage than Luck just saying.

That's because he was better.

No one watching last night's game can honestly say Luck playing matched his stats. That is why I don't always buy into those stats. I wonder who was responsible for his fumble.

As I said before, if Luck wasn't the media's darling, he would be seen as mediocre as ever. His saving grace were are his weapons. He had almost five ints last night. I am sure none of that was mentioned this morning during the Luck tongue bathing.

All my News mentioned were the stats. Not how he really played.

What defines the "best QB?" Please tell me? If the media would treat Luck like they enjoy doing to QBs like Fitz, Cam, and even sometimes Russell, who I think is way better then Luck, we would see how average Luck really is.

There is something to be said for media hype and the dumbing down effect.

He went to the top of my S list when he mocked Cam in BOA. He also somehow gets a pass for stuff that Cam gets roasted for.

Yea, he went on my S list after that game as well, but Kaeparnick was receiving tons of hate here long before that playoff game. Plus, wasn't it Mitchell who mocked Kaep's celebration first?

But hate on who you want to hate on. It doesn't really matter to me, because I hate on certain players as well. It's what fans do. I'm just ribbing on those who get upset w/e a Cam v Luck debate happens. That debate is always going to happen. Especially since many feel we had a shot at Luck. Folks are going to be salty, which is ok.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
