Replacing Aaron Donald.

 

Deserved?

In terms of skill yea but after the Dallas game he was the focus of the OL as no one else on our DL can do anything worth a poo. He still had respectable TFL but DL is about as weak as is possible for a professional team.

The only player on our entire defense that Offenses even care about, are scared of, or notice is Luke...can see it in the game replays but we have such utter weaknesses good teams focus laser like on those like Munnerlyn in the slot...any competent team just throws slants until they score on Capt.

My immediate response is the same as it was over 20 years ago when I was moving to Virginia and got within range of a DC-based sports radio station.  They were crowing about some QB named Gus Frerotte, who was apparently a combination of Joe Montana, Dan Marino, John Elway, and a predecessor of Tom Brady.

My thought was that there must be two Gus Frerotte's, because the one I know of was not nearly as good as the one they were talking about.

Is there another KK Short somewhere that I missed?

Although, the Short I know of is closer to the Pro Bowl than the Frerotte I knew to the one they were talking about.

Gus Frerotte basically ended his nfl career by head butting a wall in celebration and causing damage to his c spine.

That is the one I knew of when I moved there.  I have no idea what happened to the other one they were talking about, because he was far too smart and composed to do something that stupid.

I'd add that Short never gave himself a concussion by head butting a wall.

And I never sacked KK in a peewee football game. Wow, that was forever ago. He was a whiny little boy then. 

  When I was back home 20 years later, my cousin was like “want to meet Gus”? I had been drinking and knew I couldn’t resist making fun of him so I just stayed away. All I could see was the “head butt”.

      Big changes coming

      I'd like to see the gameday chats come back, especially if you can get it mobile compatible and like those support chats that stay on the screen even when you move around the site. We could use them during CLTFC and Hornets games now too.

      There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring.

      I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
