New Article: Gus Bradley is a liar and the Panthers aren't as bad as you think.

This week's column is up for your viewing pleasure - and, likely, debate. I've demonstrated that Jacksonville head coach Gus Bradley tells abominable lies and argued by exposing them we can also see a bright glimmer of hope for the much-maligned Mike Shula offense.

Thanks for reading!

Hey Philly, where you work?  And can you give free drinks to a fellow Panther fan?  

i'm up in greensboro. i've thought about organizing a get-together for an away game at my bar, but there's no way i'm missing game action making grenadine drinks for a bunch of huddlers.

Wouldn't have to make me poo, give me an Octoberfest or a good craft brew and I'm set.  

Anyway, I noticed what you did but will sum it up in a fashion that people will understand.

Cam has made strides in his passing game.  If he gets time, and doesn't throw off his back foot, he will make some solid throws.  I also noticed Cam had some touch on his throws in the J-Ville game as well.

One of Cam's underrated throws was on a route close to the End Zone to Cotch.  It was incomplete, but the throw had the perfect amount of touch on it, and would've been caught by a receiver with a little more speed.  I was vastly impressed by it.  Now we just have to fix the drops.

Here is what I have generally noticed in years passed and now in Game one..... and to be honest, have no idea how to fix.  But when Cam is "on" he is "on" for an entire drive.  When he is "off" he doesn't get better during the drive.  If one pass sails or goes into the dirt the drive almost always ends on downs or a turnover.  When he is hitting his receivers and they are running the right routes and he has run options he is da man.  I know during tv timeouts when we are on offense he is constantly throwing on sideline to keep arm warm instead of huddling over the tablet with his coach.

Maybe that's all mental, but Hell I dunno.

    • 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.
