When we make a big game like the super bowl again, can we all learn a dang lesson and not be such over confident "we can't lose" and "xyz team sucks" idiots as fans. I avoided saying it all week but there is no better way to jinx and hoodoo your team than by talking smack about how much better your team is and how easily we should win. I've read far more posts than not filled with crap about how easy this game would be and "we're a horrible matchup for Denver, this will be a blowout" bullcrap.

 

Every single one of you that talked that crap should look in the mirror and accept your blame for this horrendous dump the Panthers just took all over the field. We are a young franchise and with that comes the need to learn and grow, the team themselves learned some hard lessons, this one should be ours.

I know I've lead a blessed sports life but in my 30 years, without being a bandwagon or fair weather fan, I've witnessed 12 national or world championships amongst my major teams (not counting national squads). One thing I've learned is that you don't jinx your squad and amongst those fan bases I've rarely seen a fanbase so blatantly arrogant about their chances of winning (well outside of Yankees fans) at least not on the boards I visit and amongst my friends.

 

But hey, the Panthers have lost two and y'all seem convinced I don't know crap when the majority of you were the very posters I'm referring too who were just as confident that we "couldn't lose" sooooo... What do I know.

I'll be honest that I was talking a lot of stuff because I felt Peyton wouldn't be able to do anything on our defense.  I also said the only way the Broncos would win this game, was if their defense could score touchdowns.  I was bragging and unfortunately, was right about Manning playing like crap and the Broncos' defense scoring points.  Now I feel like crap.

    • Just to clarify: I'm not arguing that height or footwork can’t affect QB play. I'm asking how those concerns translate into measurable, consistent outcomes. That’s the standard we should be applying to all QBs, not just Bryce. If height is such a limitation, then we'd expect to see elevated batted passes or poor pressure evasion. Yet none of that shows up in the data. Bryce was one of the lowest in the league for batted passes and his 16.9 pressure-to-sack ratio is good enough for 9th out of all QBs with 300+ dropbacks. So if you believe footwork tied to height is a meaningful issue, what metric shows that because two that would aren't doing so? This isn't about denying flaws. It's about applying fair, consistent standards because otherwise we’re not evaluating performance which means that it's not analysis taking place... it's just going off of the vibes that somebody has consciously decided on. Citing one red zone play you remember doesn't provide that consistent standard. I don't say that to dismiss your memory, but to emphasize that anecdotal evidence (especially from an avowed skeptic) shouldn’t carry more weight than consistent tape or analytics. For example, there was recently dissonance over Bryce's deep ball accuracy where it was implied that he was inaccurate throwing 20+ yards. Yet, the data and film show otherwise. And I unfortunately have to still ask since you won't directly answer: What specific metrics do you believe matter when evaluating whether a QB is top-10? You've mentioned YPA and passing yards per game, and that's fair. If that's what you're prioritizing, then let's call that your criteria but clarity matters because it prevents moving goalposts when the data doesn’t match one's expectations. I appreciate the response and hope that your holiday weekend goes well also. ❤️
    • Me too. I got other things I can do. Tie it up 2-2 and I will be back, but Im tired of watching us get swept.
