A little appreciation for...


Mr. Scot

I'm one of his biggest critics, but it's more so because of the role we've forced him to play. He would be my favorite #4/situational #3 reciever in the entire league... 

Regardless, I was stoked with that effort for the first down and his TD catch...   But man, seeing him attempt to run away from defenders after the catch is like watching a moped try to outrun a Ducati lol. 

Still, good job from Cotch today.

I don't understand why ginn is number one over him. I feel ginn would be better in the slot spot. I was pleased with Funch as well even though he didn't get much action they are bringing him along. In a couple of weeks he will be solid...dang I miss KB

im not just saying this because Ginn is my "adopt-a-panther", but Ginn would have had a great game if he would have caught that one touchdown pass. his stat line would have been like 3 for 80-something and a TD. thats a pretty solid line. not world-beating, but pretty good. 

im comfortable with Ginn being the "#1" for right now. if he has another bad game next week, perhaps someone else should get more snaps over him.

even if they do, we need to put/keep Ginn and Brown on the outside to stretch opposing defenses with their speed

Agreed. And another thing... While Philly didn't do a whole lot this game he had 2 good catches in traffic after the terrible preseason and no drops. The second one where he held on was a very good catch and showed good strength hanging on. I'm not ready to give up on him yet and hopefully he can improve his game to the point where he could be a solid weapon on offense. Just combine these catches with how open he was in the preseason and he's really solid. Had troubles getting open today, but I think he'll be able to put it all together.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
