See, my thing on that front: Like with The Terminator, it's what he does. It's all he does (or at least all he's supposed to be doing).

Pretty sure that for the vast majority of people here, were they found by their employer to be on their job but actually doing something other than their job, said employer would disapprove.

Plus, let's be real. We're not exactly talking about a kid working in a sweatshop for pennies here.

If you're being paid (handsomely) to simply talk about a football game, I don't really think it's out of line to ask that you actually watch the game.

I agree but I think you could say that about a lot of analysts and broadcasters. How many times do they routinely pronounce our players names wrong or say ignorant as hell statements about Cam Newton. All the time. That's a business problem not a Steve Young problem.

Lazy analysis definitely isn't limited to Steve Young.

And I know the measuring stick for being a good analyst tends to be what they say about Newton and the Panthers in general.

It's more important now to say something controversial or flat out offensive than it is to say anything correct.

 

If you give facts and do your job no one cares and you're labeled boring.

If you make poo up, spew hot takes, get it wrong all the time and do it confidently you're constantly talked about, shoved into the spotlight, given a larger platform and more money.

 

which would you choose?

When your audience is stupid it can land you the presidency.

      The guy has not coach college in ten years and in that span its greatly changed. Still take him over Davis, I want to see the presser and if billy still has fire in his eyes for college non-sense.....plus you know billy will want a multi-million staff.  This is interesting, very....... glad the old guard FINALLY steps aside......

      Processing Blue: immediate draft needs

      By Basbear · Posted

      He's a hard player to rank, cause he is a young NT. I do see his abilities to branch out among the DL. That's the only way for him to land in the 1st, some team has to believe he's got the stuff to play DE or T3.... I just don't see using 19 on him, I feel there should be around 7 players just ranked higher than him for the Panthers team.  ___________________________________________________________________   Now you are a roster nut like me. Im tossing this into fire, I think a good move is to trade UP, yes rare. Just the roster #s tell me 5 rookies and no more than 2 starters will make the team. I feel 5 is magic number.    QB- 2  BY, Pickett RB- 3   Chubba, Brooks(pls), etienne TE- 4   Sanders, Temble, Evans, Draft pick/major/franks/UDFA OL- 10   Walker, Lewis, Fortner, Hunt, Motown, Zavailla, Samac, Stone, Draft pick, Draft pick/Charles/carter WR-  6   Tmac, XL, Coker, Metch, Horn, Tremay   offense=  25 with 3 draft picks   DL-  6   Brown, Brown, Wharton, Ray, Cam, Hunter/draft pick Ed-   5  Phillips, Nic, Prince, Jones, ST/incoom/hampton ILB-   5  Lloyd, Wallace, Bam, Claud, draft pick CB-    5 Horn, Jackson, Thor, Evans, draft pick/CSN/UDFA SS-  4  Scott, More, Ramsom, Sim   Defense = 25 with 2 picks   ST = known 3+o+d = 53 roster   SO I see only room for 5-6 with factoring in UDFA pool. That tells me to trade up! Bonus the 1st+3rd gets in front of TB yucs. Then use one of the 5ths+2nd to draft another target. That's your two starters and use the 4th, 5th and 6th for the development OTs and what ever the best player are at the pick/DB. The last couple years they have added 2-3 UDFA each year, maybe the same this year too. Soooooooo Im normally 95% trade back, but above made me change my mind. I do not want to waive 5th rounder, I feel thats high with players on the bench.    ?? There's waiver claims too, they have done that each year.
