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.

      Canales is holding us back

      Yeah I was crying about this earlier in the year when we got to 6 wins. Equal number to Wilks.  We are still a QB away.

      The Hall of Fame case for two different NFC South quarterbacks

      By Verge · Posted

      Hey y'all, a topic that has been on my mind has always been the parallels between two of the best quarterbacks in the history of the NFC South and ultimately their place in history and how they are viewed moving forward through the rest of NFL history. These two quarterbacks as you might have guessed are their respective franchises greatest signal callers, Cam Newton and Matt Ryan.  Cam Newton (144 Games Started): 269 TDs (1.8 per contest), 123 INTs, Super Bowl Appearance, OROTY, MVP  Matt Ryan (234 Games Starter):  394 TDs (1.6 per contest), 183 INTs, Super Bowl Appearance, OROTY, MVP  Obviously on first glance, these are very similar players with identical top accomplishments. Let's zoom in a little bit on their surrounding talent. C Cam Newton top offensive producers:  Greg Olsen (TE) (9 Seasons) (3 Pro Bowls) Steve Smith Sr. (WR) (3 Seasons) (1 Pro Bowl) Matt Ryan top offensive producers:  Julio Jones (WR) (10 Seasons) (7 Pro Bowls)  Roddy White (WR) (8 Seasons) (4 Pro Bowls)  Tony Gonzalez (TE) (5 Seasons) (4 Pro Bowls)  Wow, quite the difference here. Through Cam's career his top option was Greg Olsen, who was one of the best tight ends of his generation and a real difference maker in an offense reliant on their quarterback making plays outside of structure. Newton post Steve Smith Sr was saddled with a revolving door of Chicken McNobodies at the receiver position and the offense had to be funneled through the tight end and running attack as Jericho Cotchery, Corey Brown, Jason Avant, Kelvin Benjamin, etc was not getting the job done. Ryan on the other hand was consistently surrounded with top level offensive weapons, including one of the best receivers and tight ends in the history of the game, thanks in part to an aggressive general manager who wanted to ensure they could maximize the arm talent of their franchise quarterback.  How about protection?  Cam Newton top offensive lineman: Jordan Gross (3 Seasons) (1 Pro Bowl)  Ryan Kalil (8 Seasons) (2 Pro Bowls) Andrew Norwell (4 Seasons)  Trai Turner (6 Seasons) (5 Pro Bowls) Matt Ryan top offensive lineman:  Jake Matthews (8 Seasons) (1 Pro Bowl)  Alex Mack (5 Seasons) (3 Pro Bowls)  Andy Levitre (3 Seasons)  Todd McLure (5 Seasons)  While Matt Ryan certainly had more consistency and high level talent on his offensive line, one could argue they had similar protection through the bulk of their career. Though one has to acknowledge some of the absolute dog water lineman that were trot out to protect Newton at his tackle spots post Jordan Gross retirement. Byron Bell, Mike Remmers, Matt Kalil, Chris Clark, Amini Silatolu, Nate Chandler, etc were all a collective pile of garbage save for two seasons from Remmers and a few splashes of brilliance from Michael Oher, Daryl Williams, and early career Taylor Moton.  Defense should be fairly simple.  Cam Newton defense average rank:  17th/32 Matt Ryan defense average rank:  18th/32  Honestly I was a bit surprised by this, I had thought Cam consistently had the better defenses, but when you look at the average it's shockingly close. While Newton did have the higher peaks of defense, Atlanta placed higher more consistently and only really faltered towards the end of Ryan's career. Both these players had on and off again defenses to rely on.  So what does all this mean?  1. I am bored at work  2. Cam Newton has the better body of work given the talent around him  While I am not sure either is necessarily a lock to get a gold jacket, it's undeniable that Newton carried his franchise on his back for the better part of his career and changed how quarterbacks are viewed as a whole. Newton became the blueprint for a new breed of signal caller, and Ryan is the standard that is set for pocket quarterbacks in the modern league. Both players deserve their kudos for what they did for their franchises and how they morphed their team's identity, but Newton I think was clearly the better of the NFC South quarterbacks, especially if he had remained as healthy as Ryan did.

      100% agree, trading him would be the best possible scenario. It allows for a clean start at QB and you get something back.
