They won 21-7, which is what matters.

And yes, he's had three mediocre games in a row. He's still had twice as many 100 yard games as KB and Greg Olsen combined. 

 

17 yards is also less than any receiving total for benajmin this year. ;)

 

See, I can cite convenient stats, too.

 

Smitty's and KB's stats are reasonably comparable.

 

My point was that when smitty has a bad game, he'll do something like this to make him feel better about himself.

"it's just a little bit too much" as a Raven... haha

 

in reference to the stats, yes if is as he was here at this point. He had more to prove so that's why he started off great this. nevertheless, why didn't he do that since Cam's rookie year? 17 yards is not acceptable for any starting WR regardless of team or age. In reference to the Ravens, SS having 17 yards and they pull off a win  proves overall they are a better team than us not Benji's stats. The reality is Benji has had some horrible drops and so has SS even as a panther, but  coaching is the difference in winning. I just hope we don't set Benji as "the" receiver rather than one of our receivers like we did with SS. Neither are a true #1 as of today! And yes SS would have better numbers if his attitude was consistent with his production. He borders on many bonehead plays because of his mouth. Talented but mouthy!

I find it funny that there are Panther fans sounding butt hurt about Smith's departure as if he left of his own accord. 

 

The main thing the Panthers are missing on offense is any semblance of an identity or personality. 

 

 

i don't miss the guy that much and i don't think we'd be much better on offense if he was here.  ow my butt it hurts so bad!

I would agree they are somewhat comparable. Steve obviously has the upper hand, but he'd be doing about the same here.

 

It was a bad statistical game, yes, but they won fairly comfortably. Sometimes you just don't need to target certain players to win. In 2011, for instance, we beat the Bucs 38-19 and he only had 2 catches for 32 yards. We beat the Bucs again 48-16 and he only had 1 catch for nine yards. It happens, it's not a big deal. Now, if he had that stat line in a loss, there would be a problem.

Were you mad in 2011 when he had very similar statlines in comfortable wins against the Bucs? What about KB last game, where he had 18 yards on 2 catches?

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By beckersteen · Posted

      We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.

      Bryce’s deep passes are intermediate passes for other strong armed QBs. I will say that Bryce’s accuracy on his deep passes have improved. Before they would just sail out of bounds. Now the WR actually has a fighting chance on the ball.
