And here we go with the ole Huddle "you don't understand"  fall back argument. Yes, I know what semantics means, however, I would say to you that the average person takes prevention as a literal meaning to STOP.  So no, I don't think you chose that word by accident.  Mask do not stop the spread, it reduces the spread.  It's not really a tom-A-to; tom-a-to thing.  Even when I do go out with a mask, I still know there's a very real chance I may catch it and that mask isn't preventing crap.

I really hope you're being intentually dense. Because these arguments you're making are just laughable. I don't think anyone thinks the word "prevent" implies 100% efficacy. Good grief, man.

And less deaths in the entire state of Florida than NYC alone.

It's amazing the number of outlets where you can easily find accumulative case counts and number of deaths, but you have to really dig to find the number of recovered cases.    Secondly, you would think total case count (while important) would be secondary to the active case count.  But, you know, that doesn't drive headlines and fear mongering.

Lol so you engage in sensationalism nonsense using the total death count of NYC vs. Florida instead of recent trends and then 2 posts later cry about the media being sensationalist by using the total cases instead of active ones. Way to drive some headlines there...sounds like you might have a future in mainstream media after all.

Is it possible for you to restate this?  It didn't make sense to me.

Don't mind him, he's likely busy removing the seatbelts and air bags from his vehicle since they're useless due to the fact that they aren't 100% effective in the prevention of death or serious injury in the event of a crash.

Yet I was an dense one for the silver bullet satirical statement.  At least we are on the same level on now.

He was engaging in pretzel logic and managed to get himself all twisted up.  He may restate it after he figures out how to untangle himself.   Apply WD-40 and a shoe horn. :shades:

Someone said Florida has more recent cases than all of Europe.  His reply was pointing out that NYC has had more deaths to date than the entire state of Florida.  While factually true...that's clearly sensationalism, not reflective of the trajectories of NYC vs. Florida, which are trending in complete opposite directions.  Then he goes on to complain that the media emphasizes TOTAL cases rather than ACTIVE cases, because they are so sensationalist and just want headlines.  He's doing the exact same thing cause it supports his agenda.

*Active cases are way more relevant than total cases*...just like *CURRENT death rates are way more relevant than TOTAL deaths*.  Hint: Florida has had more than twice as many deaths as NYC in the past week, and the gap between the two is only going to continue to grow.

Lol! I never said useless, but please continue...  Dude I have been around the block a time or two and whether you meant to or not, people that are activists for something (which you strongly feel about masks) overplay the word game to heighten the importance of their cause.  Yes, mask wearing slows the spread of the virus, but that is all it does is slows down the transmission rate from person-to-person.  Throw any other descriptive word in there you want, but that's the reality of it.   Stopping, preventing, halting...whatever is overstated.

So what you are saying is that Florida should have completely screwed the pooch right out of the gates like New York, that way the current numbers would be down instead of up?  That's the point you were making?

If me explaining your logic doesn't make sense to you, then that's an indictment on your logic bro lol.  But sure, wear it proudly like a badge of honor!

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      Boy we agree on the dink and dunk. I don’t want to watch that kind of football.  I mean okay if you win with it, it could be tolerable but it feels claustrophobic, constrained, limited, boring.  But for some reason I love a smash mouth heavy run game that wins the LOS and gets the backs to the second level.

      I am really sorry  that  happened to you they say to never meet your sports heroes i have friends who met  mickey mantle when they were young and he was a belligerent alcoholic at the time  ut broke their hearts  I had the opportunity to meet and spend  time with Cam Newton.     He was the polar opposite of Steve Smith and his public image.   Polite.  Honest when asked question.  You could tell the things that mattered to him and the things that  didnt. The disappointments in himself and the things that hurt him  those qualities make him quite a good interviewer too  i genuinely liked him   Im sure as young, rich, sports hero, he has not been a choir boy but there is goodness in him  the time i met him i took one of my friends with me from the west coast. She said she didn't like him and wasn’t enthusiastic about meeting him.  She left loving him   No one can say anything bad about ‘her Cam’ anymore

      Agree about oline. They've tried their best to improve that area. But honestly, has it looked like the most expensive oline in the NFL to you? Not just with Bryce. With Dalton's one game where they almost got the old man killed.  Also YAC shouldn't always be hitting a guy in stride while he's running full speed. Pickens killed us after the catch and those weren't all hit-in-stride plays. I remember a play in Miami when a guy caught a 5 yards curl and took it like 30-40 yards to the house. We don't have that in Carolina. Horn might be the closest thing to that but he can't get significant PT for whatever reason. If Bryce keeps trusting his receivers to make plays, I think he'll become more consistent. Seemed like he only trusted TMac. And force feeding one receiver isn't sustainable. Defenses will start to blanket him and take him out of the game. And yeah, keep taking deep shots. I hate all that dink and dunk football. Hate it.
