Watch The Broncos/Patriots Game In Comparison.

[SOJA]

Blowing up your wr corp is more or less blowing up a third of your offense.

You get better every year or try to. The front office didn't add the best pieces this year.

 

 

Let's examine this WR corp

 

a.) We're not going to talk about Smitty that's been beaten to death

 

b.) not one person here wanted to re-sign Lafell. he was widely inconsistent and had some crucial drops last year

 

c.) we wanted to re-sign Ginn! this has been publicized multiple times. his contract was too rich for our pockets. if we had overpaid to keep Ginn it would have been a sign that nothing had changed since the Hurney era. 

 

d.) I'm not even sure Hixon is playing this year

 

 

Our WRs were bad last year, real bad. We went out and tried/did improve their production. We signed veteran guys, who haven't played bad at all this year. We went out and spent a first rounder on a WR. 

 

I'd hardly call that blowing anything up, oh and we retained our best receiver from last year: Olsen

 

Some huddlers are literally calling for everyone to be cut or traded outside of 5-7 guys. That's insane and is never going to happen in the NFL. 

 

 

It's funny you bring up WR because that's exactly how we should approach O-line and the secondary this offseason. Those two units clearly need an upgrade. That isn't blowing your team up.

Just like some of you guys, after watching the other games today, no matter what team, I was like "wish the Panthers played like that" .

My point is it was a full unit. Rarely does that happen.

20/20 being what it is shows it was the wrong unit.

I don't think blowing the whole thing up is ever the wise move.

first off brady career is much longer than cams. 2nd off brady was sacked 3 times less than cam last season and if cam didn't have his legs he'll be sacked much more. what the hell you smoking on with that last statement

It's actually true that mobile QBs tend to take more sacks. Pretty sure Vick was the single most sacked QB in the League at least once, maybe more.

Lots of theories as to why, but if you check the stats you'll find it's true pretty much every year.

Go to a stats site like profootball reference.

 

Just pug in the names of some players you can think of and look at their career sack percentages.

 

For mobile QB's you can go way back to the Staubach's, Tarkenton's, Steve Young's , etc....move forward to the Michal Vicks, the Randall Cunninghams,Cam Newton's, etc.

 

Then check out the sack percentages of some "immobile" types...Brady, Manning, Marino, ETC, ETC, ETC.

 

You might be surprised what you find.

1) Parker

2) Flowers

3) Fisher

4) Hackett

5) Dorsett

Boom offense fixed and we even get a stud safety.

[Marc Anthony]

It goes back to coaching, I'm sure Lafell, Ginn, and Smitty are being better coached than we gave them. Firings are in order.

[PanthersClinic]

Even with Denver down by 3 possessions it is an exciting game. While also being a depressing game as a Panthers fan. Y'all just see both units change up while the play clock was winding down. THIS IS FOOTBALL RON! THIS IS FOOTBALL SHULA!

 

This is the biggest surprise about how bad the Panthers are. The Broncos are getting whooped like Adrian's boy but Manning has 438 yds because he's still trying and all the players, lineman, coaches, receivers are working despite the score.

 

Panthers get blown out and can't even make plays in garbage time. About the only time you see us making garbage time plays is when DA gets put in. Otherwise it's cam scrambling around and getting sacked play after play.

Frustrating isn't it? I keep saying it's the coaches, we have talent, coaches are ruining this team, from the HC, to coordinators, to WR, OL, and Secondary coaches...they must be clueless.

[Snake]

Cam is never gonna play the game like Manning/Brady.

Steve Young was never gonna play like Montana did. No point trying to make a square peg a round one.

 

and your not?

[CRA]

and your not?

I'm not the one comparing Cam to some of the most immobile QBs.

Young, Cunningham etc aren't square pegs to Newton's round one. They play the game with a similar mindset.

i seen this blow out coming from the first quarter, when manning gets "happy feet" its gonna be a rough day...and i seen him dancing around out there from the first quarter on...

This a classic home field game. If this were Denver we probanly get an opposite result.

Yep. We're either too conservative to comeback and win or too conservative to stay ahead. Ron would never go for it on 4th down with a lead like Sean Payton did Thursday night. The great depression, this is.
