Another example of systematic racism our black qbs face , no way mac jones should go higher than tre lance just because of his skin tone , this is insane ! . Racism at its finest . If we pick Wilson or Mac jones I’m no longer a fan 

You are dumb.

People who work in a NFL organization sometimes. Easterby and Hurney are 2 easy targets proving we can in fact criticize professionals. The flip side is impressive but man some of the NFL owners have hired some idiots over the years, or just put OK people in really bad spots.

As far as Peter King or any media people? Hell yeah we can. Two words, David Newton. Getting paid for it doesn't make that person an expert, just employed. 

I'm still hoping Rhule and Co can be to team building what they are to team coaching. Fingers crossed.

I would agree with you on some media people. But some media people are just talking heads while others actually study the film. So that field is rather diverse. 

I dont know if I would agree with you entirely on the NFL organization comment tho. I do get your point

I think Jones would be fine in our system. We don't need a wildly athletic quarterback. We need one who is a quick thinker, accurate and knows the game. Jones is all those things. I think the hype to find the next great athlete at QB negates all the ones over the years that have been very effective without being built like a linebacker.

And seems to me it easier to take a smart football guy and make him stronger and more durable than it is to find a great athlete and turn him into a quarterback.

It is a huge ding on all the kids that opted out.

I include Greg Rousseau in that group too - he was a moron to sit out the season.

One season versus a career? That's what meant about getting caught up in the moment.  Will Mac Jones be better than Lance in 2021?  Probably.  Who is going to help out their team in the long run and have the better career.  That would be Lance, no question.  If some team takes Mac Jones over Trey Lance for immediate help in the short term, that is simply and utterly moronic.

I totally disagree.. I think in today's NFL where avg. Offensive Line play is not guaranteed from week to week.. Having a statue in the backfield is a disadvantage.. Also not having PRO's or the read option as Atleast a part of your offense.. Drastically diminishes most young up and coming OC's playbook... Unathletic QB's need to much immeasurable stuff and surrounding cast to lead to consistent success of a team...

It's way easier to teach god giving talent.. Then finding the miracle formula to make somebody stronger faster bigger...

I know we want to act like Tom Brady is the norm and he wasn't surrounded by superior talent.. But reality is there is only 1 Brady and that team was stacked when he got there and came together at just the right time..  IF we can build that for Jones and have that kind of team consistently.. Have at it...I just don't think that's realistic anymore..

He isn't a statue. Chris Sums has his rankings out and he has Jones thirf and says he may no have as big a cannon as some of the others guys but is athletic, moves well in the pocket and can make all the throws

      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.
