Crowder to work out for Panthers April 10

He's a pure football player not much difference in him and Devin Smith from Ohio state. He really looks like ty 2.0 I wouldn't mind in the fourth or third he will be dangerous in the slot and on special teams. Btw I really love what gettleman is doing for our special teams I can guarantee it will be top five this year

Say what?  Horrible comparison.  Smith is 4" taller and a lot faster.  But, Crowder is the more complete WR right now.

 

With that said, if we're gonna go with a stereotypical slot/return guy, I'd rather have KSU's Tyler Lockette.

As a late rounder I could get behind this.  I would rather have Hardy perhaps a round or two earlier as I think Hardy would be better for Cam given he has great hands, great leaping ability and one of his strengths is he catches inaccurate passes.  If we are not counting on bringing in another 6'2" or taller guy with a great catching radius, then we need guys who go after the ball and can go up for it because we all know that will make it easier for Cam to get the ball in there.   I would be concerned that Crowder might not be a large enough target for Cam.

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
