Only three weeks until an honest to God Panthers game

Recommended Posts

I bought a new 82 inch OLED tv today in celebration of this. Panther games are almost the only TV I make any concerted effort to watch, so I plan to enjoy every minute of the Rivera free, Cam Newtonless, Luke Kuechly lacking, substantially less nordic (sans Olsen) overhauled, revamped, retooled, reconstituted, stripped down and (sorta) rebuilt roster contend with the coronaverse and the rest of the NFL for as long as it lasts.

I don't expect it to be pretty.

But I'm gonna watch every minute of it plastered all over my living room wall in gloriously overpriced picture quality while a soundbar to be determined later this week brings me every bit of player and coach cussing from the field.

I have only one expectatation: It will be vastly different from the poo I've been watching the past couple years, and for that I am thankful.

Everyone knows what I think is gonna happen this year, but fug it. I hope the NFL plays a full schedule this year and Teddy Bridgewater makes Mahomes look like a poor man's version of him, our LT is an All-Pro, our D is stout as hell, and we win the Super Bowl with a completely inexperienced staff that coaches circles around the rest of the league.

Not to rain on your parade, but if it's an 82 inch it's not an OLED. Just a heads up in case you want to do a return while you can

Nah. I'm just acronym drunk from comparing TV's online all morning. It's QLED which should be plenty good enough for a guy who barely watches TV. I know it's not quite as good as OLED, I just got my acronyms mixed up when posting. Good looking out though, appeciate the heads up.

For anyone wondering, the electronics industry makes up technical terms and acronyms pretty much at random on the theory that if the consumer actually understood what they were buying, they would spend less.

Little do the fools know we just like to blow hard earned cash on shiny poo.

Oh yeah, I just spent a month researching TVs before ending up finally getting one. Way too many options out there, and I'm sure they're all basically the same haha

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
