Why were they subbing Little/Williams? It’s not even close, Little needs to start. 

it took Amini getting a serious injury for Ron to ever put Andrew Norwell in, then after Norwell left he immediately re-signed Amini.

he values consistency over talent on the o-line. he's heard people talking about o-lines having to gel so he thinks "oh i can just get any old o-linemen and as long as he plays long enough he'll gel and be real good."

This situation has to be frustrating for Daryl too.  He is on a one year prove it deal that will impact his future earnings, yet Ron keeps trotting him out to play a position he is not adept at playing.  Let him play guard over Van Roten and see what he can do.

Williams wants to be a LT so he can get paid like a LT. Only problem is he sucks at LT.

But of course this is Ron we’re talking about 

We wanted to telegraph whether we were running or passing. Little is the far better pass protector but Williams is a very good run blocker.

Not sure e if it's him or the staff. He's a solid RT. He'd probably be a good OG. He's not even a roster caliber LT. Our best OL is probably Williams at LG with Little and Moton manning the OT spots. I don't know why we're so resistant to playing our best possible lineups.

That’s what I was telling everyone watching the game.  But at this point I will put up with Little’s run blocking and not having my Qb’s beheaded.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
