I guess in a few weeks we get to see who is better, Panthers or Colts

i believe Panthers even without Benjamin

Nothing would give me more pleasure than to see Cam outshine Eyeore

btw, loved Lucks leadership on the sidelines, throwing things around after his latest turnover. I know announcers, he is just passionate.  If Cam did the same, bad leadership. 

If Cam would follow the Andrew Luck sideline leadership style of throwing stuff or the Tom Brady sideline leadership style of berating his teammates perhaps he would finally be lauded for being a great leader.  As long as he quietly sits there with a towel on his head he is opening himself up for criticism.

Cam fanboys are only interested in his statline. They prefer his 6-10 rookie season with 4,800 Yd 35 TD to the last 2 seasons of winning. It has a built-in excuse for the record; his defense sucks he can't do it all. 

 

Where exactly are these "Cam fanboys" who would prefer a 6-10 season to actually winning, and going to the playoffs?

You would think that going on 5 years after drafting Newton, and signing him to an extension through 2020, we wouldn't have to read poo like this for awhile. But, apparently not.

Why can't Carolina have good defense and a good offense?

Cam does have a better supporting cast than Luck.  I consider defense to be part of the supporting cast. 

Is that the context Monday Night Countdown was using for better supporting cast?  I didn't watch it.  I personally think "supporting cast" would be judging the players on a unit around the leader of that unit.  Saying better team around a player seems to me the wording you would use when considering all players on the team.

Don't know, I fell asleep on the couch watching it.  I was just making a general comment.

But it is something GM's should strive for. Can't forever ignore a side just because it is not too common.

I don't think Gettleman can be accused of ignoring offense.  He has used over half of our draft picks on offense.   In the last two years, we have used third round picks or better on Trai Turner, Daryl Williams, Kelvin Benjamin, and Devin Funchess.  We signed Olsen and Cam to big contract extensions.  We haven't seen much on the free agent side for either offense or defense, but among our handful of signings this off season were Ginn and Oher. 

Gettleman has a philosophy and he sticks to it. Draft well and don't kill your future in free agency.   I think he might be willing to spend on a free agent provided we have the cap space and he finds someone he feels is worth it.  But so far, his philosophy has worked out pretty well for us.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
