A little love for Colin Jones

Colin Jones and Josh Norman have made the difference in the secondary as of late.

 

They say Jones is actually the fastest player on the team, and it showed last night. He needs more snaps over Harper with Boston roaming.

 

At this point the Panthers would be wise to get the speedy young guys experience over the dreadfully slow veterans who have their careers in the rear view for the most part.

I like what I saw from Jones and Boston, they were blitzing with purpose and playing the run and underneath routes well. Outside of that pass to Graham where Boston was iso'd and the top with arguably the fastest/ most athletic TE in the game he played well. You've gotta put help over the top of your rookie safety in that situation.

Which is why he needs more reps now, in a season that really no longer matters.

 

Next year we may be in contention again.

Exactly.  We're a hot mess right now.  It's pretty obvious we're going to limp through the remainder of the season, so it makes perfect sense to get those guys the most valuable reps they can... which is in the game.

We got to Brees a lot last night.  I would say the defense put out a good show last night, but that offense discouraged them.  We pretty much have to get turnovers, and score with them or else, turnovers don't mean squat.  Shame on this coaching staff, shame!

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
