This team will never be more than .500 with Rivera's system.

I'm just watching this crap. I'm a skeptic of CTE. To my thinking millions and millions of people have played high school football, and if it were such  big deal then we would be dealing with a zombie apocalypse by now. You know... brain dead people walking around looking for loose change in their pockets and staring at jukebox machines like they are the devil.

But after all this I must admit that there might be some truth to it. 

Let's think about this guys.... You have a QB that in his rookie season broke Peyton Manning's rookie passing record.  And this without the benefit of OTA's.  Instead of trying to build upon this Herculean accomplishment, your head coach in apparent permanent flash back wants to rebuild the 1985 Chicago Bears despite the fact that damn nearly every rule instituted in the last 25 years favors passing teams. 

Not only do these rules favor the passing team, they make it impossible for run oriented/defensive teams to compete. Matter of fact, the refs go out their way to reward teams that throw the ball by calling defensive holding on passing plays as much as the possibly can.

If that was not enough, last year the refs basically let defenses kill Andrew Luck, Cam Newton, and Alex Smith, the three best scrambling QB's in the game.  I know you think Cam had it bad last year, but there were times when I honestly feared for Alex Smith's life.

The league has said that if you do not pass the ball, then you and your QB's are fugged, but here the Panthers are sucking it up and thinking they can defense teams that actually play by the rules that the NFL wants.

Alex Smith is playing at an MVP level (ya it's only 3 games.) But he looks pretty good.
