One cut day = bad football

Last night we got treated to college-level football with a few pros slipped in here and there.  Today there are going to be about 1,000 cuts, and the coaching staff needs to sift through all of them and see which ones may fit the Panthers, doing in a week what they used to have three for.  Some of the ones we find on the scrap heap may actually be good enough to merit playing time, but not next Sunday because there isn't going to be enough time to get them in the game plan.

Who thought this was a good idea again?

Players interviewed about it didn't seem to mind. Vets knew they didn't have to play as much or at all and found it a relief. It has a redeeming quality to them.

4th game is always unbearable to watch regardless IMO.

Also we get to see just exactly why the udfa we loved so much has no chance in NFL

A point I heard brought up is that a preseason injury at one position at this time of year is less likely to cause the team to cut a person elsewhere they might honestly like to see more of in order to fill a whole. While there may be real side effects there must have been a reason to try this out and why it was suggested and voted on.

Agree. From all the interviews I heard, everyone really seem to like the change.

In other news -  anyone else get the feeling that this place is going to go full meshuggeneh with 1,100 or so free agents hitting the open market on the same day. Tons of "Should we sign <insert name here>?" threads.

It isn't a good idea at all. The first round of cuts was always the guys that had no chance of making the roster no matter what they did. It was the respectful thing to do, giving them more of a chance to maybe catch on somewhere else and not waste any more of their time. 

It's a bad idea from another standpoint as well:

By letting guys go early it gives those remaining more opportunities for reps and compete to make the 53.  Having "camp bodies" just hang around longer than they should takes away much needed time from rookies, good UDFAs, and bubble guys to get reps and work on timing.

I like it. In other years, some starters would play last night ( maybe a series or 2). But because the roster still had 90 guys, they could play all the backups the whole game. This did two things for me. Ensured no starters got injured (outside of Samuel but he needed the reps). And it allowed the bottom of the roster to really go out one last time and show what they could do. Not just a few plays but the whole game. And guys like Boulware could really relish their final plays on an NFL field. He absolutely has no shot at even the PS. I'm all for the change.

I'm not a fan.

Was thinking about that too.

Oy.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
