Deactivate DA?


RealTalk

Recommended Posts

Because Carolina, unlike most teams, activates three QBs for game days, and has one of them play special teams

If Webb couldn't also catch passes and play on ST, they wouldn't keep him. Anderson, OTOH, is arguably the best backup QB in the league. Did you not see the games he won for us last season? 

Give it up. Your arguing points are pathetic.

He won two games against the worst team in the league last year and has a terrible track record as a starter. Yes, DA is an above-average backup, but he's not the best in the league. Hell, Hasselbeck probably is.

it's a social problem in general, instant gratification, no long term vison. Do I like Sammy yes, is he worth a first round yes, but I'll take giving Gman a first round pick option over just about any current player in the league 

Yep. 

There's plenty of players I'd love to have, but I know this isn't Madden and real world trades for that kind of player take a lot.

Smart football people value their draft picks. Guys like Daniel Snyder throw them away in hopes of crafting a dream team (and it pretty much never works).

I'd add that you hear stories about good players being unhappy or disgruntled all the time. Said players hardly ever wind up being traded.

not only that but you can tell by the verbage and overall demeanor, that this is someone whose been with us before, was banned, and now is using a different name! It's called having a sad lonely life....

Definitely. 

 

i am getting an urge to deactivate someone.

Follow that urge.

Just trying to have reasonable conversation. This will be the Panthers' fifth game, and the fifth DA has been activated. He's played in none of them.

he's an insurance policy. just because you don't use your insurance policy doesn't make it unnecessary.

and DA gives us a better chance to win if cam goes down than webb does. he is a better insurance policy than webb. if we were to dectivate one of them, it would be and should be webb.

If this were a less annoying poster saying this there would be an honest discussion on it

 

this board discusses the possibility every offseason of letting Anderson go because of Webb's skillset which is more akin to our starter's and his previous success both here and elsewhere as a backup.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
