Gross steps up, apologizes for bad game

I'm sick of that. Means nothing. Jake, Fox, Gross, Peppers, Godfrey, and every other Panther can apologize...it means nothing. Yeah, you sucked. Why don't you just play better. Gross has apologized more than once this year......let's see some better play to match your paycheck.

Easy as that aye?

The fact that he keeps coming out and apologising suggests to me that he is seriously low on confidence.

Playing better is bloody hard when you do not have confidence in yourself, especially if you are the vet on the line who is supposed to instill confidence in everyone else.

The guy hasn't suddenly turned into a bad pro, he has just lost his mojo a touch. He will not play better until he get's that confidence back inside of him.

you know the running game is just where it was at this time last year. OUr running game didn't take off until half way thru the season.

The Panthers are averaging just 97.3 yard per game on the ground, 55 fewer per game than last season.

Thru 4 games played last year we were averaging 99.5 yards per game. If you compare things carolina growl or anyone, compare apples to apples,IMO. And comparing a complete season versus 2009 and only 4 games played is ridiculous

I still have faith inour team

yeah, that easy. Apologizing in front of the media isn't going to boost his confidence or do any good.

this what Gross needs to do

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
