Yea shitty rules trying to favor false scores...the hollow inflation of scoring literally means nothing to me I mean  people don't tune in to see so many scores based on penalties.

The casual fan wants to see high flying high scoring football. They want to see Pac12 score in the NFL and those are the fans that ultimately drive viewership and revenue.

Do they though? If anything the NFL has a particularly higher level of non casual fans than a lot of other things not just sports either.

I mean the SEC is the most popular league in CFB by a longshot and people constantly poop on Pac12. What it seems to me is like a lot of other things about the NFL and that is they have no fugin clue.

I mean hell, we've got people on here who care more about the game being entertaining than they do about winning.

I think it's pretty dumb myself, but that's just how some people think.

Entertaining and high scoring are two different things.  A tough hard fought low scoring game can be more entertaining than a 49-35 shootout.

Then there shouldn't be any excuses for sam.

What does that have to do with Brady?  Brady is one of the best ever.   If that is our expectation for Sam D, then I think there is a good chance he will fail to meet our expectations.  

Brady is so good at getting the ball out fast and accurate, he makes offensive lines look better than they might otherwise look.  I ready that his average is 2.5 seconds. That is not to say he hasn't had good offensive lines, he has.  But I don't think they were quite as great as some make them out to be.  The reality is that a good qb makes a offensive line look better, and vice versa.

    • I hate to praise Atlanta but what they did was not dumb. The only issue is where they drafted Penix. #8 overall was very high for a QB with Penix’s injury history. But it wasn’t a bad decision. I wish the Panthers took a broader approach to finding a franchise QB after Cam.  Cousins is old and recovering from a serious injury, so he is obviously a temporary placeholder. It makes sense they hedged their bet on Cousins, because Atlanta was burned by holding onto Matt Ryan too long while his skills degraded. If Cousins can still play, Penix gets to sit on the bench and learn which has proven to be a winning strategy for developing young QBs. If Cousins sucks or gets hurt again, they have a legit backup plan to see what they have in Penix.  Where are the Panthers if Bryce gets hurt or sucks again this season? The season is over and they’ll be considering drafting another QB next year. 
    • Same as when Jordan Gross said that having to block Julius Peppers made him a better player. But I mean no sh*t, having to block one of the best DE’s of all time will up your game. I bet Gross went up against other DE’s in games and was like, this is nothing. Horn isn’t that level of player obviously, but Legette has his work cut out for him going against Horn in practice. The coaches should be able to tell pretty quick what they have in Legette.
