People know they can't play the game at the NFL (or NBA or major league) level.  I mean, most folks with a reasonable amount of sanity realize they aren't 6'5, 260 with 10% body fat with insane strength and quickness.

 

But...  everyone knows they can coach better than (fill in the blank).  Because, you know, they watch a lot of (insert sport here) on TV, or they played it in high school.

 

I guess as a high school coach I have a little bit of insight from the other side.  I certainly don't agree with every decision Ron Rivera makes, or Roy Williams or Coach K.  But jeepers, some of the gameday posts are completely asinine.

 

Guess I better get used to it, since high school basketball season starts in just a couple of weeks.

Most people dont deal with having to make a instant decisions.  So most will choose the one that is do or die instead of the one that gives you the best chance to succeed.  It was the correct decision to kick the fg and give you team multiple chance to win instead of risking it all in one play.

I haven't read a game day thread all season, just for that reason.  I went to game day chat once or twice just for the entertainment value and just figured my blood pressure was a bit too low and that certainly helped.

 

Some of these high school parents must post on these boards. I honestly think they think we should throw a deep pass about every two plays.You should hear them in the stands. And some don't even know the rules.  Cray.

 

I'm preaching to the choir a bunch in here.

 

Oh and I almost forgot.  Fire Rivera.  I hear The Golden Calf of Bristol is looking for a job.

If you joined All Pro you could talk with people that actually love the Panthers and realize that not everything is perfect

      How am I all over the place?  I'm still saying that. I'm saying that Chark at his best and T-Mac right now, on the same team right now for the 2025 season, T-Mac would be ahead of him on the depth chart Week 1. Because in the same way everyone is saying, "T-Mac hasn't played a snap in the NFL yet", the very same is true to say, "nothing Chark did in his past matters moving forward" His peak was a 1,008 yard season where he was the only decent WR on a terrible team.  He didn't put up the 1k yard season because he was a great WR, it was because of how bad the rest of them on the team were. His stats aren't the same as his ability, and his ability was never all that good to begin with. Hell, most of this board agrees that T-Mac is our #1 right now, even if Thielen is Bryce's #1 option early in the saeson just because of the comfort level there, he's still just a slot safety valve and T-Mac is our #1. If you put peak Chark on the roster RIGHT NOW (even without T-Mac)... is anyone even putting him over Thielen, XL, or Coker going into this season? I'm honestly not sure many of us would consider him as such, because even at his best, he was just a JAG.  So if the same people who are okay with T-Mac being ahead of those guys right now, wouldn't put Chark above them, how can you in the same breath say Chark was better than T-Mac already is now?

      Dude... you're just all over the place. You're the one who said T-Mac is better right now than Chark was at his best.

      When I say "average NFL WR", for me, that's comparing him to all WRs in the league during that season/span of time.  He was of course better than those #4-6 WR's that can't even get on the field, but talent/ability wise, he probably wasn't any better than a #3 WR for most NFL teams, he just happened to be on one of the teams in 2019 with even worse WR's so he put up solid stats for the season. Here's more or less how I'm looking at it. Take T-Mac right now and Chark at his best, put them on every NFL team at this very moment, and where would they fall on the depth chart come Week 1 (basically, the teams that don't put the rookies at #1 to "make them earn it in camp" don't count, it's projecting week 1 depth charts). T-Mac would be at worst the #2 WR on the majority of teams this season, (hell, he's likely our #1 at this very moment right now already), peak Chark would not.  Yes, T-Mac still has to prove himself at this level, but his current ability, even as a rookie who hasn't played a snap yet, would have him above Chark on any team's week 1 depth chart. Because again, you can't just fall back on "well Chark had a 1,000 yard season" and use that as the reason for having him above T-Mac.  As he didn't have that 1k yards because he was a beast, it was because he was the only halfway decent receiving option on a bad team that was always losing and passing the ball (the Jags had the 7th worst scoring differential that season).
