Only 1 man outside Jerry "Sweet Tea and Blue Jeans" Richardson could ever claim the mantle of Ghost of Panthers' Misfortune.  That man (and I use the term loosely) is Marty "The Shart" Hurney.

First, sweet tea and blue jeans is the greatest country music song title EVER! Second, I was going to say him, but, dammit, he will always get a pass from me for getting us a team. I just wish he had sold about 15 years sooner.

It has hit him.  Doesn't have the deep ball that he did.  And back in the old days, he made some pretty average offensive groups look great.  Don't get me wrong, he is still good, and is cool as a cucumber in crunch time, but needs more talent around him to win now.   

Unfortunately, he has it. TB is stacked.

It was tough to hear the allegations, I too felt a certain gratitude for getting us a team.  That doesn't excuse the Hurney experience, hiring only defensive minded coaches, nepotism and general ass-hattery behind the scenes.

That 50 yard scramble against the Bronco's D is sick.  It's really been 2.5 years counting injuries.  He's no Cam on the run, but who is.

This deserves it own thread. 

The scrambling ability is a big plus. But if he's running at all like that for the Panthers with a 64 million dollar rb in the backfield that probably means our season is toast.

Hey he's yet to play more than 13 games in a season. You want him to buck that trend right? Gotta keep him healthy and let the playmakers do what they do.

 

It's a scramble. It is not the end of the world if a QB does it every so often. Every QB but Brady scramble. 

 

Also, most QBs get hurt in the pocket, not while running. So it is kind of a good safe play.

 

Le'ts keep those bullets in the gun. Until there IS something to see, there is nothing to see. YET. If Sam can play all 17 games? I think we have a chance to be a really good team.

 

Short story long: Sam's got dis.

    • 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
