Have to admit, saddens me to see a safety stop him dead in his tracks and see him look confused after. 

 

Thoughts on his role? 

No poo, I looked at my wife when that happened and said, "I think that little guy just concussed Tolbert."  Couldn't believe he stoned him like that.

The whole run play calling was terrible, we should have used J-Stew, CAP & Fozzy early on to stretch the defense out and then pound it with Tolbert. We need to call more zone runs, Power of Tackle  and ISO. Specifically between OTs & OGs instead of OG- C -OG everytime while defense stacks the box.

He wasn't the greatest blocker in his prime, but what made him great was his incredible foot work, elusiveness, and of course, combined that with his power and it was a like watching a bull in a china shop with ballet slippers on.  Sadly, it appears that quick burst and elusiveness are gone, and his power has taken a hit with the lack of burst...  and of course, he still isn't a great blocker, so now he's JAG.  And that sucks.

I could NOT believe he dropped like he did when it was just him running towards that much smaller DB in the hole.  I was actually ecstatic when I saw it developing because I just KNEW he was going to truck him and get a nice gain...  and then he just stopped, IMMEDIATELY, and even fell backwards.

I love him, but i think that roster spot could be better served elsewhere at this point.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By PootieNunu · Posted

      It's funny how the teams with the great QBs stay at or near the top of the league every season.  Yes it is a team game, but the QB has the biggest impact in most NFL football games.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Look, no one is ever a perfect player.  Since the QB handles the ball on 100% of plays offensively (unless there's a direct snap to a RB or something), I can absolutely see where they get an outsized blame and gain from what happens at any given snap of a football game.   Theoretically, there shouldn't even be a stat or idea to a 4th quarter comeback or game winning drive because you should already have done that during the game.  Losers!  Right?  Just because you win late doesn't take away the fact you tried to lose the game for your team! I'm not a fan of that opinion, but again, I'm just a moron with a keyboard.   Bryce has limited tools.  Bryce has not inspired the same level of confidence in us as Cam Newton did in year 3.  I certainly get that.  We traded a TON of assets to get Bryce, and we still suck.  (I mean, since we've lost games, we're losers right?) I completely understand that some fans are just unhappy with a limited QB and a team that isn't performing well, unless the other teams are worse losers than we are. I will say this:  Bryce will fight until the end.  Sure, he's has some real loser football.   But in close games, he's doing his best to comeback (even against a winner of prevent D). Now is it better or worse if your QB plays their best ball in the first half and sucks 2nd half so long as they finish with 300 yards, 3 TDs for your fantasy points? Who said stats are for winners anyway?  The Panthers and Bryce has a long way to go.  I'm enjoying the winning right now.  Though I do start each game thinking "how will we fug this up today?" Because it's been such a poo show in the Tepper era.  Will he prove to be a legit starting NFL QB?  Maybe not here as evidence by our record with QBs who were high draft picks.

      Ive never liked the term game winning drives because they include games where the QB was part of or was the reason the team was behind in the first place. Ive been arguing against this stat since the Delhomme years. It should only count when the QB is out of the equation of reasons why the team fell behind in the first place and is at least half the reason why he led the last drive to give them a lead. It shouldnt count if they just hand it off most of the time and the RB is on fire and they go down and score a TD or FG.
