A new spin off of the WD is set to premier this Summer!

Summary:

What did the world look like as it was transforming into the horrifying apocalypse depicted in The Walking Dead? This summer, AMC will answer that question with Fear The Walking Dead, an all-new original series set in Los Angeles, following new characters as they face the beginning of the end of the world.

Starring Kim Dickens (Gone Girl, Sons of Anarchy), Cliff Curtis (Missing, Gang Related), Frank Dillane (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) and Alycia Debnam Carey (Into the Storm) and Executive Produced by Dave Erickson (Marco Polo, Sons of Anarchy), Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, Greg Nicotero and David Alpert...

Didn't see your thread when I posted in the other one, but glad you posted it, as I think it deserves its own discussion...

Here's what I posted in the other thread about it:

Also, I'm creaming my pants over "Fear the Walking Dead." At the very least, it will give us a TWD holdover until next season... But the promo has me stoked! I really hoped they would eventually address how it all started, and I read that Kirkman himself said that he had an idea of what started it but that he didn't really have the desire to ever reveal it in the comics. So I was surprised that AMC stepped out and decided to do it. But as I said in my previous post, AMC/the TV writers have shown a clear desire to occasionally, and sometimes, drastically, depart from the comics... And I love it.

When one of my friends had initially resisted getting into TWD, he said he wasn't big into the zombie thing like me... I told him, first off, I'm not into the "zombie thing" per se, but more so, the human element of it... I often see parallels between their world and ours, but theirs is obviously much more extreme and dire... I like seeing what people do and the decisions they make, and the consequences that arise from it... And the big question, "if that was you, what would you do?" Would you run? Would you fight? Would you be brave or be a coward? My friend ended up marathon watching the first 4 season like I did, and was fully caught up going into this season, and now has his wife heavy into it too lol.

That human element and the actions/reactions of the characters are what I'm really looking forward to with FTWD. Also, I wonder if it is successful enough, will they eventually bring the characters together, as based on the promo, I'm assuming FTWD is set in L.A.

I've always said if it really happened, the first thing I would do is drive to the coast and get on a boat... Problem is, my wife and kids don't know how to swim, would still need weapons, as there would likely still be a huge problem with other survivors (pirates in that case), and I would quickly have to refresh myself on fishing and eating what you catch, as I haven't really done that whole process, EVER... LOL.

Okay, and with that, I have officially gone too far in "Nerdvana."

But, yeah, Montsta, Alcatraz would be ideal, but I imagine it would bring a lot of other people as well.

I would be heading for the mountains, I figure the terrain would make it tougher on them and while I am not sure that cold would help, I am pretty sure it would not hurt

      A comparison of QBs drafted #1 overall

      By Icege · Posted

      "Bryce Young did not have a good rookie season compared to other QBs selected #1 overall. My eyes say so." But... why don't the facts support this? WOA THERE NOW! Whether you're a Stroud Boy sitting down and idling by or a devout member of BrySIS, I come in peace. The purpose of this write-up is to explore the validity of a common complaint echoed by disgruntled Panthers fans. This isn't proving that Bryce Young is without fault for 2023-2024. It isn't demanding that everybody only cheer for him and never criticize. Hell, it isn't even a "Bryce is good" post. It is just a statistical look at BY9's rookie season compared to other QBs taken at #1 overall. A quick note on methodology: All of the data was pulled from Pro-Football-Reference.com, which did not have advanced stats for any QB entering the league before 2017 (Hurries, Hits, Pressures, Pressure %, Drops, and Drop %). Going back to 2000, there have been 18 QBs selected #1 overall . Blacked out boxes are for missing/invalid data. Below is the comparison: Perhaps the only thing that Panthers fans can agree on is that, despite fears regarding his size, Bryce Young can take the punishment that an NFL defense can dish out over the course of a season. While he did miss one game, the only QB that's started more games their rookie season is Trevor Lawrence. This was in spite of BY9 being sacked, hurried, hit, and pressured more than any other rookie since 2000 except David Carr (who is also #1 for fumbles and fumbles lost, where as Bryce is #2 in both of those categories). The one stat that Young did lead in was pressure percentage... No other QB in the last 25 years has been pressured more during their rookie campaign than Bryce Young. Even with all of that working against him, his body still held up.  This isn't anything new to anybody with a functioning set of eyes. Even people that think Bryce should still order from the kid's menu will admit that having eight different left guards and nine different right guards is probably going to make an already difficult situation for a rookie more difficult. This is where mobility helps bails teams out, and an additional area of concern for detractors. We won't see Young doing the same thing we saw Cam do such as carrying a defensive lineman downfield on his back or steamrolling a defensive back into the dirt. We did see him scramble though enough to put up the 7th highest rushing yards for a QB selected at #1 since 2000. Also not new to fans was the underperformance of the weapons fielded by the team last season. Scheme, playcalling, and inability to separate have been beaten to death but what if I told you that the group also had the third most drops for the third highest drop percentage out of all other teams supporting a #1 rookie QB? To say that the entire offense surrounding Bryce failed him is an understatement, and it reflects in the stats. With that context in mind, let's dive into the passing stats... Completions: 5th (315) Attempts: 6th (527) Completion %: 7th (59.8%) Passing Yards: 9th (2,877) Passing TDs: 11th (#11) INTs: 12th (10)     Having the fifth most completions, sixth most attempts, seventh highest completion percentage, and ninth most passing yards all place Bryce Young in the top half of the sample group. He was also 12th in INTs, meaning that despite the constant duress he was under while trying to find an open target that Bryce was not turning the ball over as frequently as other QBs did their rookie year. Being 11th in passing TDs is frustrating, but it's hard to get into the redzone with all of the aforementioned issues as well as the not-so-silent drive killer: penalties. Carolina was #4 in the league this past season for pre-snap penalties with 45. That means that every game had two to three false start penalties. In 2022, teams averaged 10.9 drives per game. If the same holds true for 2023, the Panthers averaging over ~2.64 false starts a game means that 25% of their offensive drives are being marched back five yards. Are these all just excuses in the end and Bryce will never be able to contend for the UFC Light Heavyweight Title? Maybe. Will it make some fans any less insufferable? Definitely not. What it will do though is help make the last two hours of a three hour meeting go by much, much faster. Hope y'all have been well. Keep Pounding!

      Nate Tice article on Bryce Young

      By PootieNunu · Posted

      He has a lot to work just to be an average starter and I dont see it happening.  Lots of blame to go around for last season but Bryce was a big part of that, even in the GB game he was dropping too far back and allowing the pass rush to tee off on him.  He cant use the same little quirks that he used in college to overcome his size in the NFL.
