Hehe. I said "blokes". Dont be a racist. look up the term if you are not familiar.

Or, unless you mean one must be a hillbilly redneck from the south of the US to be a Panther fan? Fans from other parts of the world are not allowed here? It is a racist country confederate club only for southern Americans?

Relax. I said bloke. Get over it. Can you guess what we call "blokes" like you when we are not trying to stay within the rules of the forum?

 

Joined in March, British/Australian, thinks pointing out obvious British/Australian slang is "racist".....thanks for confirming my statements.

Troll confirmed.

It really all comes down to Cam's injury. 2016 could have been just another "Super Bowl hangover" season; it was Cam's shoulder injury - which should have NEVER happened as he shouldn't have been playing - that really set the stage for collapse. The refusal and/or inability to address positions of constant need (LT, CB, WR) during the Gettleman era didn't help.

But ultimately it all comes down to Cam's injury, and that's on Rivera for allowing him to play and on Jerry Richardson for not stepping in and forcing the issue. Luke had been benched; why not Cam?

But there's no sense dwelling on it now. It's a new era and we've got to move forward with what we have.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?

      If you pay Bryce $50M a year you greatly limit your ability to put the type of team around him you need to have to have a chance to win. THAT is the problem. Hell, we can't win with him on a rookie contract. How the hell are we supposed to start winning with him paying him like a franchise QB and having to make tough roster decisions to accommodate his cap hit?
