That’s a first here on the Huddle. 99 percent of posters have been saying he’s a bust because they read reports in preseason and training camp of his rookie year. 

The best were the people saying he was a bust because he couldn’t get on the field while he was out with a freaking concussion.

Little is still developing. He had a really good game, against a darned good defensive line, but let's pump the brakes just a bit before we park him permanently at LT. It's a long season and there's some good competition coming up.

Still, you've got to like what we've seen so far. A lot of our young guys and draft picks are making folks on this board eat crow.

So glad Little is getting appreciation here. I remember the game thread vs the Bears preseason #1 and people were saying how terrible he looked and he was a bust based on his FIRST PRESEASON GAME. I can't believe how quick some were to write him off before he even got a chance to play. Look at it this way.. reports say if Burns was gone at 16 he is who we would have taken in the first. Hurney doesn't miss in the first

      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.
