Lack of quality in the NFL


PanthersClinic

Recommended Posts

Anyone else notice this? I'm watching the Falcons Browns game and there are repeated stupid decisions that a fifth grader playing Madden wouldn't make. Examples:

 

-Cundiff attempts extremely long field goal, isn't even close. There was a timeout. Clearly he doesn't have the range or accuracy. So the browns decide to kick it again in hopes of giving Hester a kick return. Completely stupid and risky.

 

-Hester returns the ball. Slow lineman can't do much against him, he looks to have a TD. Some reason gives up on outrunning kicker and decides cutting into the middle of the field will be wiser. Gets tackled. End of half.

 

-Atlanta blockers sort of dancing with Cundiff. Lay his ass out and Hester has a free path to the endzone. Nah, we'll just walk beside him and play patty cake.

 

-Atlanta horrible clock management late in the game.

 

-Cleveland horrible clock management late in the first half.

 

And these are teams that very well may be in the playoffs. Teams both clearly better coached with better players than the Panthers.

 

Where's the quality?

The Rams and Chargers were playing a game of who could be better at being their own worst enemies. 2 Rams TD's called back, each team with a D score, 6 TOs, and it seemed like every penalty was extending a drive when it was dead. I'm almost surprised Gilchrist didn't McCree it on that last pick

    • So you believe that Levis had a better day throwing deep because one of those was a TDs? Asking for clarity on that as it was already clearly demonstrated that Bryce would've had a TD had Moore not dropped it in the back of the end zone. The entire purpose of their metric is to look at the throw and grade that because the QB has complete control over it. That was made abundantly clear from the video provided prior to that. Nobody is trying to manifest him as a top-10 player. He had performances during his return from benching that measured in the top-10 in different metrics. The issue at play is that because those stats support Bryce's progress (and refutes that his ceiling is his floor), that you and other people that don't care for Bryce being the Panthers' QB are going out of your way to either a) ignore factual data, or b) cast uncertainty on the methodology. There's no actual interest in stats and facts like as you mentioned previously. All of the non-PFF info, like passing yards in a single game, is also not entirely reliant on the QB. That's one of the points that Jimmy has hammered home but y'all continue to try and sidestep: that the ability to throw deep relies more on elements like timing rather than physically having a howitzer for an arm. Yes, arm strength does play a role but let's not be coy: the entire narrative that Bryce is not a capable deep ball thrower is 100% rooted in the same reasoning that folks had for thinking he wouldn't survive an NFL hit... bro is too smol. We have plenty of data (AND film) that show this. Whether or not the people that don't want it to be true stop clinging to what they want to believe instead is up to them.
    • This isn’t a bad deal for the right people. Sure not everyone has that kind of money to burn. But $10k for everything including all travel (that includes a private flight), lodging, meals, tix to the game? Meeting former players? It’s a lot of logistics that if done solo would take a lot of time to coordinate. When I was younger I spent my time to save money, and now I spend my money to save time. 
    • Displays of luxury spending like this are the only thing that will wake up the poor peasants currently shouting at each other. At least, that's my only way to optimistically look at this trash.
