Brad Evans gets potshots in at Jake (RE: D. Will's decrease in production)


top dawg

I am not going to discuss the merits of his analysis (LINK) which seem basically right, but two statements are kind of amusing:

1."For the alleged matchup-proof rusher, the start to his '09 campaign wasn't supposed to be this way. As we discussed in August, the Panthers' entire offense from last year remained intact. His schedule did appear daunting, but based on his dismantling of quality defenses late last year (i.e. the New York Giants), he was expected to be invincible. Not even Jake Delhomme's perpetual suckage would be his kryptonite."

2.In recent years, Carolina has used the run to set up the pass. But this season that offensive philosophy has flipped. The Panthers are throwing more and running less, evident in Williams' decrease in carries ('08: 17.1 att/g, '09: 14.8). In some circumstances, this would be a positive shift, but considering Delhomme would have difficulties accurately distributing the ball to King Kong, it has affected the team negatively.

One thing that I don't think that he has taken into consideration is that a couple of the games have kind of been skewed, and we HAD to pass more because we were down (of course it's arguable that it came down to Jake's ineffectiveness). Furthermore, he didn't mention that Williams had similar numbers at this time last year.

The barbs were funny to me though.

    • I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50. 
    • And don’t worry about Bryce he will be great… Peyton Manning had a horrible rookie year too 😂
    • Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
