White Trash Bash: The Mile High Reckoning Edition


Seltzer

Recommended Posts

Save a small speed bump in the filthy bowels of the Georgia Dome, the magical journey of the 2015 Carolina Panthers continued unabated towards Levi's Stadium and the Ultimate Glory of Super Bowl 50.  We had conquered the source of so many close defeats in years past by beating Russell Wilson's God Squad not once, but twice, and then exorcised one of our oldest demons by destroying Arizona in the NFC Championship and giving the meltdown curse of Jake Delhomme another soul to inhabit in Carson Palmer.

Then in 3 short hours the greatest ephemeral buzz of my sports life faded into a hangover that has taken months to shake.  Like many of my fellow Panthers brethren, I have not been able to endure rewatching even a single play from the Super Bowl.  The worst of the images are seared in my mind, like a drunk and horny Rex Ryan let loose in a pedicure salon. 

And now rather than reward us with an Opening Weekend home game, the NFL is sending us to the remote lily-white outpost of Denver, CO.  A city that is literally a plane trip away from other civilization.  A city with demographic diversity on par with Iceland.  A city whose mayor and state whose governor were KKK members as late as 1925.

  • Where the dry air will have your lips as crackly and dry as Hillary Clinton's hooha.

  • Where the Kum & Go is literally a place where you can score a hooker and some gas station nachos to celebrate afterwards.

  • Where the city prides itself on the nickname "Menver"

And the birthplace of the Denver Broncos, a franchise whose General Manager and former QB is literally morphing into the mascot before our very eyes.

Ah, the Denver Broncos

  • The place where John Fox went to die and then was resurrected by The Golden Calf of Bristol.

PS- I will never be able to take the great SCP's place, but we can't start the season without a thread like this...

Lived her for 10 years and was really hoping to go to this game but tickets were insane. Really wished that this would've been later in the season. Fans are still on cloud nine from their SB win and hopeful. I don't think it's sunk into many of then yet that they're probably gonna struggle this year. Tickets would've been much easier to come by if this game was on the second half of the schedule.

Tickets are available for $130-150ish. Price dropped a lot this week.

    • What's up gents, the OGs remember me, the guy who single-handedly gave the Panthers the greatest uniform in history moniker. Not too long after that I got involved with Pro Football Focus (pre-Collinsworth acquisition) and ended up taking backseat here to preserve some objectivity. But from a distance I noticed a lot. After the end of the Cam era this place devolved into the most un-fun, petty, negative cesspool of whining and bitching that has ever graced the internet. The worst part of it all is that the level of discussion turned into the most ill-informed, hot-take, unnuanced crap, rife with people talking out of their posteriors as if they have any clue about what they are watching. Once you get into the professional side of the sport and actual film rooms, you start to understand there's an absurd number of moving parts to pretty much every snap and the details you are privy to are truly only half the picture. The absolute most important thing I learned from being part of professional level football analysis is that quarterbacking is literally the most intricate and difficult position in all of professional sports, and that the NFL itself is struggling to develop any workable model that allows them to understand what makes one succeed vs what makes one fail. Because of this paradox it has also made the quarterback position itself grossly overvalued from a fan and media standpoint, creating an absurd fixation on the results delivered by a single player who has to rely on the contributions of everyone around them. This also drives the dreaded inflation of QB salaries that inevitably cause even elite teams to lose key talent all to pour cash into the one player supposed to be able to single-handedly elevate the entire team (and defense and special teams and coaching and ownership by some mysterious proxy), yet without those same players even talented teams can wander the wilderness searching for the right guy to take advantage of their talent window. The discussions the last few years around Bryce has personified this insanity, as this board has devolved into some sort of electronic civil war between the hyperbolic Young supporters and the vitriolic Bryce haters. The reality, like practically everything in this world, is somewhere in the middle. He has traits that can absolutely elevate a team with creativity, play recognition, off-arm angle throws, mental toughness, etc. He's also physically limited, with mostly "good-enough" qualities for most situations that a professional quarterback is asked to do, and will never be an overpowering physical force like pre-injury Cam. But "good-enough" physicality represents a large majority of championship-winning quarterbacks, even in the modern era. There's a reason the corpse of Peyton Manning took the chip from elite physical specimen Cam, because the team surrounding him was talented enough to get him there, while we all know Cam was the driving force of that 2015 team. That's no knock on him, that's just how the game of football tends to work: the more complete team usually wins. The summary is this: if this team lives or dies solely on the performance of its quarterback, then it is absolutely a paper tiger even if he plays brilliantly week in and out. There are no superheroes in this sport, there are only conduits that proxy the collective efforts of much of the team around them. And no one alive can tell you how the position is played perfectly, it's all a confluence of circumstance and what unique collection of traits each player brings to the position, which can never be truly recreated season after season, even for the same player on the same team. If this place remains a raging hellscape of idiotic hot takes I will happily remove myself again and do something more productive for yet another decade, but maybe's there hope that we can all get back to the old adage, and keep pounding.
