Chris Colinsworth

i heard a lot of positives from him.

Thomas Davis/Luke Keuckly have speed, play sideline to sideline, and are too fast for the eagles running backs/blockers

Major props and seemed overall thrilled about Ted Gen Jr. thriving in our offense. Heard at least 3 times.

Love the power running game and major props to stewart running over people. Even said he would want him on his team.

Norman is a shutdown corner and kk short is on his way to a pro bowl

Greg Olsen trade was the best trade of the decade

Props to kali and tre turner for opening up holes.

Cam is playing great. After the interceptions never once mentioned cam is to blame.

 

So i dunno where some of you get the idea he hated us from the telecast.

I love when everyone takes one statement and turns it around. 

For the third time.  From the Funchess interception Colinsworth kept going on and on about wearing out our defense. 

I never said he didn't praise TD, Cam, Luke or the Panthers in general because he did.

But it is also true that he was trying to build up that Philly was coming back and going to win the game by wearing us down.  Now if that isn't what you heard than maybe you weren't listening.

First off, i think it's Cris not Chris. Secondly he has an accounting degree and there's no doubt he exceeded all expectations as an accountant.

and finally, all national games are announced without favorites- if you want the homer view, turn on Mick and the boys, which I do...but that can get old too.

Gruden is much more Madden like and will love the hard hits on Monday, for Cris the fact that he has a job after football makes his Dad, Abe Lincoln Collinsworth, proud...

I would rather share my thoughts by digging them out of my head through my ears with a dull chisel.

The Spanish radio broadcast is where its at folks.  Intensity and emotion are universal languages.

I took it that he meant that was what they were trying to do.   He even implied that they were succeeding to an extent.  But that is his job, to make it seem as if they could come back in order to keep the average viewer tuned in.  Nothing he said bothered me all that much.  IMO, he is less annoying than most announcers.  I do like Gruden and Aikman better, but CC isn't so bad.

really?  I heard him talk about how great Cam is, how great our OGs are, how great it is to see Stewart pound it up the middle and carry the pile for 5 yards, how we are winning with no name WRs, etc, etc, etc.

maybe that's just because I have a positive outlook, though, and that's what stands out to me.

This is what I heard too. He is the first person I have heard say that our interior line is one of the best in the league. Unlike most, I'm sure he watched film of our team, or just loves the game enough that he had the insight to know this. He gushed about Thomas Davis as well, talking about how underrated he is while letting the world know about his character.

I was very pleased with the Sunday night crew, and I cannot believe anyone would complain about them considering who we normally have commentating our games.

    • What's up gents, the OGs remember me, the guy who single-handedly gave the Panthers the greatest uniform in history moniker. Not too long after that I got involved with Pro Football Focus (pre-Collinsworth acquisition) and ended up taking backseat here to preserve some objectivity. But from a distance I noticed a lot. After the end of the Cam era this place devolved into the most un-fun, petty, negative cesspool of whining and bitching that has ever graced the internet. The worst part of it all is that the level of discussion turned into the most ill-informed, hot-take, unnuanced crap, rife with people talking out of their posteriors as if they have any clue about what they are watching. Once you get into the professional side of the sport and actual film rooms, you start to understand there's an absurd number of moving parts to pretty much every snap and the details you are privy to are truly only half the picture. The absolute most important thing I learned from being part of professional level football analysis is that quarterbacking is literally the most intricate and difficult position in all of professional sports, and that the NFL itself is struggling to develop any workable model that allows them to understand what makes one succeed vs what makes one fail. Because of this paradox it has also made the quarterback position itself grossly overvalued from a fan and media standpoint, creating an absurd fixation on the results delivered by a single player who has to rely on the contributions of everyone around them. This also drives the dreaded inflation of QB salaries that inevitably cause even elite teams to lose key talent all to pour cash into the one player supposed to be able to single-handedly elevate the entire team (and defense and special teams and coaching and ownership by some mysterious proxy), yet without those same players even talented teams can wander the wilderness searching for the right guy to take advantage of their talent window. The discussions the last few years around Bryce has personified this insanity, as this board has devolved into some sort of electronic civil war between the hyperbolic Young supporters and the vitriolic Bryce haters. The reality, like practically everything in this world, is somewhere in the middle. He has traits that can absolutely elevate a team with creativity, play recognition, off-arm angle throws, mental toughness, etc. He's also physically limited, with mostly "good-enough" qualities for most situations that a professional quarterback is asked to do, and will never be an overpowering physical force like pre-injury Cam. But "good-enough" physicality represents a large majority of championship-winning quarterbacks, even in the modern era. There's a reason the corpse of Peyton Manning took the chip from elite physical specimen Cam, because the team surrounding him was talented enough to get him there, while we all know Cam was the driving force of that 2015 team. That's no knock on him, that's just how the game of football tends to work: the more complete team usually wins. The summary is this: if this team lives or dies solely on the performance of its quarterback, then it is absolutely a paper tiger even if he plays brilliantly week in and out. There are no superheroes in this sport, there are only conduits that proxy the collective efforts of much of the team around them. And no one alive can tell you how the position is played perfectly, it's all a confluence of circumstance and what unique collection of traits each player brings to the position, which can never be truly recreated season after season, even for the same player on the same team. If this place remains a raging hellscape of idiotic hot takes I will happily remove myself again and do something more productive for yet another decade, but maybe's there hope that we can all get back to the old adage, and keep pounding.
