Big whoop.  No one worth a tinker’s cuss will be playing a week after the WC Final.  The ineptitude of local government after and during the riots and HB2 to allow Nashville to have a game instead of CLT last year and use that as a springboard to MLS over CLT goes beyond words.

Top flight English football is a pale shadow of what it was. German football is much worthier of respect.

Regardless, you have to be pretty footie starved to give up your time to watch a preseason friendly nowadays.

EPL is the most competitive league because it’s the most rich league so even average EPL teams can buy above average players.  Dortmund top players from the times Dortmund was relevant now play in England.  Both Aubameyang and Mkitaryan play for Arsenal.

Yeah I assumed that was the criteria you were using to come to that conclusion. In your defense many people would agree. It’s just sad for me because I followed English football before the premier League. In those days the league was competitive because you couldn’t buy success. Clearly that’s changed and the national team is absolutely pathetic these days because of it. I’m glad that people still enjoy the product but it’s not for me anymore.

Before Real Madrid and Barcelona bought all super stars.  Not the case anymore.  Now players pick EPL over LaLiga.

I think we’re having two parallel conversations here.

But by the way you’re wrong. Messi and Ronaldo are clearly the 2 best players in the world and have been for sometime. La Liga.

 If you know anything about England you will know that South American players rarely excel there and frequently can’t deal with the weather.

But I’m glad you think so highly of it.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
