Part of the article:

"Here are some other items of interest involving these teams.

11-1: Carolina’s record in December the past three years. Newton has played in all but one of those games, winning 10.

5:7: The Falcons’ record during the same time frame. That included a 2-2 mark in 2012 when they finished with a 13-3 record and advanced to the NFC title game.

3-4: Ron Rivera’s record against the Falcons. The Panthers have won three of the last four meetings between the teams.

8-5: Mike Smith’s record against Carolina.

21-10: Ryan’s touchdown passes and interceptions in 13 games against Carolina. He’s completed 63.7 percent of his passes (295-for-463).

11-10: Newton’s touchdown passes and interception in seven games against the Falcons. Five of those interceptions came in the first two games. He’s completed 59.4 percent of his passes (139-for-234)."

Stat that sticks out to me is Ryan throwing 10 more touchdowns than Cam in their meetings against each other.

Did they compare rushing TDs? Surely cam has some of those. Or just rushing TDs by running backs. I would think we might have an edge there since ATLs rushing game has been trash for years now. Also how about the pick 6 that Ryan threw last year?

    • I'd like to see the gameday chats come back, especially if you can get it mobile compatible and like those support chats that stay on the screen even when you move around the site. We could use them during CLTFC and Hornets games now too.
    • There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring. 
    • I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
