Oh USAToday...

Cam has quite a few TDs that have been scored by using his arm in a throwing motion in which the ball flies through the air and is caught by what is considered by many as the worst receiving corp in the league. 

I would look up our red zone receiving TD% to all these other teams but I really don't care, because last time I looked at the scoreboard, we were winning, and in each previous game, I have also noted that our score was higher than the team we were playing. 

Eat a fat one and use that colorful USA Today print to make a nice rainbow on your ass.

I feel like I just read a PU post.

Opinions are like _ everyone has one...

Love how reporters have universally stated "The Panthers have the worst receiving corps in the NFL", then proceed to criticized Cam's completion % nonetheless (besides other co-mitigating factors).

You can't make this up.

the worst thing I have and ever will read.  And it's not just the Panthers part that irks me.  It's awful all the way around.  He's pretty much saying that the good teams from the last decade aren't winning so it's the worst year EVA!

The only people that believe this nonsense are "fans" who look at stats rather than Cam actually playing football.

Cams throwing mechanics can be unconventional at times, but the teams that have discounted his throwing ability have all gone home losers this season.

Let the hate flow.

I blame fantasy football for fans overemphasizing stats.

must be a new sports writer. USA Today had us top 5-7 in the preseason, so this doesnt jive.

This Has Been A Terrible NFL Season

4. I’m less mad about the Bengals being 8-1 than I am about the Panthers being 9-0 because the Bengals actually have a quarterback who can throw the ball on a dime. 

 

Did you change "stunned" to "mad", or did the author?

[Mr. Scot]

That article actually reminded me of an extended Colin Cowherd rant.

It follows the formula of "say a bunch of incendiary things just to get attention and rile people up while trying to sound like you at least halfway know what you're talking about (even if you really don't)".

Basically, its garbage.

I didn't change anything. He must have edited at some point. Based on what he originally wrote, it sounds personal.

I commented on Chris Chase's facebook post (https://www.facebook.com/thechrischase/posts/1233659776660444) and sent a tweet (https://twitter.com/marcuswu/status/667825655564791808). I would have commented directly on the article, but that wasn't an option (surprise surprise).

Basically, his math seems about right on the team with the best record winning the SB at 40% over the 15 years mentioned. However flipping that and saying that you have a better chance of winning the SB as a team without the best record is significantly wrong. All teams with a lower record than the best combined would comprise a 60% chance, but each of those teams individually has a much lower chance of winning the SB. The average would be 5.45% chance. He posted a national article with bogus math and very misleading statements.

I blame the internet in general.

How do these idiots get a job? Painfully clear he didn't watch the games or doesn't know jack about NFL history. He sounds like he is 16. The idea of credibility apparently no longer means nothing in journalism

I love articles like this. Imagine how pissed he will be when we become the worse 10-0/ever. The more they deride us the more I laugh when we prove them wrong again. Most folks love us or hate us. I love us. Screw the haters as we beat our opposition into the ground. Doing the dab in their face.
