On Paper...


MHS831

Recommended Posts

ON Offense, The Panthers have Ted Ginn as their #1 WR, 33-year old Jerricho Cotchery, Undrafted Philly Brown, and developing rookie-- but not much more than a slant route for now-- WR in Devin Funchess at WR.  The Broncos have a very strong secondary. 

The Panthers have an offensive line that is very young (22, 23) at Guard, a finesse center, and tackles that were found in the NFL's garbage bin.  The Broncos have a fast, athletic DL and equally athletic LBs.  Can Remmers really stop Miller?  Can Blind Side, a bust a year ago, see and stop Ware?  Denver has to have a huge advantage vs. this offense...

...On Paper.

On Defense, the Panther's secondary should have caused an early exit.  The starting FS was a backup journeyman, the SS is a slow, gray--haired, one dimensional, in-the-box veteran.  Two of the starting CBs (#2 and nickel) were mid-season couch potatoes until an injury sent Gettlemen to his emergency Rolodex.  The Panthers do have 2 all-pro linebackers, but one is playing with a freshly-broken arm.  On the DL, once mighty Charles Johnson has fallen and can't seem to get up, although he is showing signs of returning to form of late.

Denver has stud TEs, fast and effective WRs, and perhaps the greatest QB of all time.  They should have  a field day against the Panthers...

...On Paper.

As hard as the reporters try, there are some things that just don't add up.  The Panthers are one of them.  The sense of family, the fact that Cam and Luke make everyone around them better, and the fact that this team and coaching staff have on-field-in-locker-room-off-field chemistry is no small matter.  The fact that the coaching staff has been together for a while is significant.  The Panthers have glaring weaknesses on paper, but a team that nobody can figure out.  That is why they will win this game by double digits...

...On the field.

Today is our day.

    • How about just don't draft project players in the first round? How about especially when you have arguably the worst roster in the NFL(we did all those years in question)? You don't even have to dig into those player debates specifically. Just don't grasp at straws early in the draft.
    • I think there were 9, and since I haven't took time to watch each of them on each play individually Its impossible for me to say, which I doubt you have either.   It's not a stat driven grading system; it's a per play grading system.  Tommy Tremble making a great block to spring Rico for that 10-yard run might actually score higher on that play then Ricos run. The actual run might not be anything special; it might be a run that pretty much every back in the league would have made. Here again, I would guess, if you look at every RB in the league, he is towards the top in rushing grade for the year which is what most of us are seeing.  Whether you call that a 90/80/70, 50/40/30, A/B/C, Gold/Green/Red star, it doesn't really matter it's how he ranks relative to everybody else at his position.      
    • Well I will never knock a strong arm, in a vacuum, but it is a lot more than that to it.  Did we kill our roster building and our defense in particular to stick PJ out there?  No. We knew we sucked and he was really just a temporary thing too.  While with Bryce I see the up and down, mostly down, roller coaster on loop now in year three. It has been a Looooong time.    Back to strong arms, it is like having a powerful motor in a car. All the power in the world isn’t going to overcome a bad driver.   But at the same time, even a decent drive with a killer car will beat the best driver if you put him in a go kart   Exaggerating for effect, I know Bryce is not a go kart. Maybe closer to a 6 cylinder with not much displacement…..
