I cannot stress this enough:

 

It was dumb as hell.  It was so dumb, had he not converted and that nearly was the case, people could have lost their jobs if it caused us to lose.  I get it--if it is there, take it---but inside your own 40, it better be wide open--it was not.

Not Chase? 

Chase was a decent player, but he's a great coach.

Well, now you know who to blame for that..

Lol, so Colin Jones made the decision to fake punt while we were up 10 on our side of the field. The announcers kept talking about how ballsy that was. I wonder what he saw that made him that confident. Pretty nuts he has that autonomy, though we did trade for him and have kept him for 7 years and he's our special teams captain, so if anyone would have that ability it would be him.

But we converted and got a touchdown. Every once in a while it's cool to take chances. A lot of winning teams do that and we hardly ever see the Panthers take chances. If we don't go for it and get that touchdown, and give them the ball back it could have been a totally different game. Risk taking is a part of the game and be happy it worked out for us instead of worrying about what could have happened. Oh and nobody is losing their jobs over one play. People don't lose their jobs in this organization if you haven't figured that out by now

      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.
