.....none of the Star Wars movies are that great 

 

 

*ducks*

Ive been saying for years that while I dearly love the whole series of movies, I cant do so without acknowledging they are actually not very good.

I really only think Empire Strikes back is GREAT.   The others are solidly in "Good/Fun" territory.  Lucas had a chance to keep it going after Empire but thought it was too "dark" and put in Ewokes in the next one.    They are important for their time but I think when it comes to real deep Sci-Fi, Star Trek was better.

I can get with that.

I tend to throw the baby out with the bathwater when it comes to Empire but you're right, its a legitimately very good movie.

Just saw Clover last night. I certainly didn't see it coming. Anytime I can get a nice surprise from a movie I am pleased with it. But to say it's better than SW:TFA? No. And also, not really all that comparable movies. Subject matter is so different that while both technically Sci Fi they don't seem like comparable movies. Enjoyed both though.

Also, 4 of the SW movies aren't great. Sure there's the pop culture/childhood elements to consider but most of them are weak in many ways. A New Hope, Empire and the new one are great though.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      It's actually interesting you mention Richardson because I've seen it suggested here Bryce will have 500 or more rushing yards and 5-10 rushing touchdowns this year. And if big Anthony Richardson can get hurt carrying the rock what's that tell you about the practicality of thinking Bryce won't?

      I mean, I get why the media and some NFL and Carolina fans are saying that we don't have a real chance, but as many Huddlers should know, we won't know what we really have in this team until probably late September or early October at the earliest. And I'm not trying to be a homer, I'm just looking at things historically. Obviously I'm also looking at Bryce's "palatable" improvement the last half of last season (including being the catalyst for hanging with and nearly beating the Super Bowl participants), and the new additions that we've acquired overall. I'm also looking at the beginnings of a culture change--even if perceptibly subtle--to some degree indeed may take a foothold if things start falling the right way. But, overall, I'm still cognizant of the realization that things could just go south and that perhaps that Bryce could revert and flop, or that D & D (Dan and Dave) are not the answer, but I still am not ready to say "we're far away." Hell we could be close, albeit with growing pains, but even if we're on the course to bring legit in 2026, then guys like Ramsey would be welcome additions this season. That's just my take on it. I don't think we'll know that we're far away until some point in the season. If we can compete in the South...who knows?

      You guys remember when the narrative on here was that Bryce would be chronically injured in the NFL due to his size and Anthony Richardson would be super durable due to his? You remember when the narrative was that Bryce was physically incapable of throwing a ball further than 20 yards in the NFL? You remember “I’ll stop complaining when he throws for more than 200 yards and looks like an NFL quarterback”? You remember when 60 sacks was his fault and not the offensive line, slow WRs, and terrible scheme? Pepperidge Farm remembers. It will always be something for some people. Whatever insanity they come up with will be quickly dropped to move on to the next thing. Bryce could have an MVP Super Bowl winning season and they would complain that we can’t run the tush push with him. It will always be something.
