Former Redskins coach Joe Gibbs believes Panthers have a shot at 16-0

"They will have a chance for this reason: they are not winning it by skill plays or getting lucky on stuff," the Hall of Fame NFL coach and current Sprint Cup team owner said on Thursday during a NASCAR media event in Las Vegas.

"They are pounding people. Sometimes, when they don’t play as well, they beat you up. They have a good defense. Defense always leads you. They’ve got a quarterback making all kinds of plays. I think they are going to be hard to beat."

Here and there you hear media types talking about the Panthers, and the ones that have watched all the games, they know, you can hear it in their voice. They know this is  just one of those teams that has it. Even over the Seattle team from 2 years ago. Maybe over the '09 Saints. Nah, that was a done deal... Oh yeah, they know this team is special and is winning Superbowl 50.

This was a fun read for me given that the only other football team I've ever been remotely this crazy about was the Redskins under Gibbs from 87 - 92.  Gibbs was such an awesome head coach and had my deep respect.  I appreciate his words about this year's Panthers.  It means a lot coming from him.  I appreciate too his honesty, not pretending that he's now a Panthers' fan, but still obviously deeply respecting them as an organization and a team.

He said a nice thing about my Panthers, Thanks.

You'll always be just another Foreskin to me.

Learn to separate things, bro. When a HOF coach says he believes a team is going undefeated, it has some merit worth appreciating. 

ffs.

certain people in sports, unique to us all, strike us in such a way that you just don't care for them or what they have to say.  (Tom Brady, Roger Godell, Bud Selig, Chris Burman) My use of "hate" is hyperbole and sports related at most.  Still doesn't change my opinion.

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
