While it could happen, I don't want to believe it.  I'd like to think that these guys have too much pride, and fixing things like plays would be extremely difficult...

But if it does happen, I want my retribution story for Cam and the Panthers next season!

People refuse to see what is happening, I understand that.  That is why they can keep doing things to move momentum.  People cannot admit their favorite past time is tainted.   It's still fun to watch, and I think the players are truly playing their hearts out and coaches for the most part, but I've trained myself to watch things during games that once you do this, you can't unsee.

Hard to believe that "Tony" would tell so much without revealing the whole truth.  Alien overlords demand a scripted NFL as tribute, JFK was shot because he was going to go public with everything, and the World Trade Center was attacked because proof of the conspiracy was in those buildings and had to be destroyed.  

I don't know why he would hide relevant facts in such an otherwise informative article.

I don't believe it otherwise Dallas would not have sucked for the last 20 years.

Dallas isn't as popular as they would lead you to believe.  Also a lot of other things go into advertising.  Their popular age group may not be the target purchasing group, which is like 20-49 males I believe.  They may not have a lot of purchasing power if their large base in rural/poor areas.    Dallas also doesn't have a superstar people care about, and they haven't in 20 years.  They don't have a Rodgers or Manning.  Romo has been a good QB but most people never put up in the top 10 (which he actually is, when healthy, at least regular season lol).   

Also storylines are key.  KEY.  They bring the viewers as well.  America loves drama.  Cowboys haven't had a good situation for a good storyline.

I believe it all, and I'm particularly impressed with David Tyree's helmet catch that helped win the Super Bowl in 2008.  Whoever scripted that one up is just plain genius.

Teams can still make plays and win.  It's just when you face a team like Denver's defense you have to be perfect.  I don't think they always get what they want, but usually they do.   For instance, the way we played Arizona, it would be hard to take that one away from us.

Hasn't like the last 9 of 10  teams in the super bowl with the #1 ranked d won? Seattle being the latest exception?

Add another odd yet unreal stat is the last time a league mvp won the SB was 99 with Kurt Warner. 

But for those convinced there are conspiracies,  if you aren't making money on betting then you don't really believe it.

      Which Round Will Carolina Draft Sawyer Robertson?

      No matter what we still need a QB2 with potential to be a QB1. Keep throwing QBs at the wall until we find someone who sticks.

      Panthers bring back TE Feleipe Franks

      By strato · Posted

      Lot of different agendas dictating opinions.  I don’t think it was the best use of money with Hunt, specifically, but the concept of OL, I am a fan. I didn’t complain a ton because I am a believer in winning up front, on both sides of the ball. I’d rather have stout fronts than fancy WRs. I have complained some about Hunt not being worth his deal, after seeing him get pushed around in a game or two. It’s no crusade. And have complained in the context of shorting the defense.   They have leveled out the FA imbalance with the dual big signings this offseason, and it has always been the draft picks I am most protective of. Anyway The picks are the real imbalance. If you did a trade chart value of the picks we directly gave up for Bryce, and added the support picks invested for skill players, and put that on one side… then put the little 3 3rd rounders and a 2nd that the defense got over three years on the other it would be hugely out of balance. I just want the balance restored. Defense is still owed.

      Panthers bring back TE Feleipe Franks

      I'm one of the ones that won't let it go because it didn't solve the problem. We didn't address the center position which was a huge mistake. We were in position to easily take 2 or the top IOL. Instead of drafting JPJ over XL or Frazier over Brooks, we relied on an oft injured guard to center conversion and lo and behold, it failed as predicted. XL looks like a 1 year college wonder and an injured Brooks hasn't even surpassed Eric Shelton.  Bryce was also benched for poor performance, so the issue that many claimed was solely bad oline play wasn't. It didn't fix him bailing out of tight pockets because of being unable to see the field or him refusing to work on his atrocious footwork. Then there's the $$$. Lewis got a good guard payday. Hunt got a tackle payday. Pay tackles, draft guards, if you can.  I have no issues addressing problems through FA. It was not addressing C at all that's been the issue and still has been. Ryan Kalil was the anchor of our offensive line. We had years of solid center play and it showed. Now we're still piecemealing the center position with an expensive oline and it's still a shitshow. Why? Because the player responsible for what happens on the line presnap has little to no experience doing it. We did acquire a FA center this year finally. We'll see how much that impacts the line.  Spending on a center, whether it be through draft or FA is not bad. It's not a position that can have anyone just thrown in with no drop off in performance. A great center lifts the play of the guards on each side.  I don't like how we've built the line because we've ignored the hinge pin that everyone counts on every play. And the reality of the situation is, it didn't solve the actual problems with Bryce because those have nothing to do with the oline.
