I will admit that I am not a math genius, but ESPN on the Panther's page currently claims that scoring 19 points, puts them 23rd in the league in points scored, directly implying most teams scored more than 19 points in week one, while at the same time claiming 14 points allowed ranks them 27th, directly implying most teams held their opponents to fewer than 14 points last week....

Correct me if I'm wrong but the rest of the NFL can't simultaneously be averaging more than 19 points scored and fewer than 14 points scored.

What am I missing or is the page just wrong?

Basically, it's like the power rankings. Some dude works up the list and turns it into his editor. The editor then goes, "You're missing a couple of teams. Isn't there one called the Panthers? Put that one in somewhere."

The dude goes back and slaps us somewhere into the bottom third of the list with the other forgotten ones and the two really bad teams.

ESPN has clearly been anti Panthers for several years now, for basically political reasons, or perhaps more accurately, moral reasons.

I agree that ESPN is anti Panthers, but I think the reason has little to do with politics or morality. ESPN like most media companies when covering sports, treats any smaller media market team without a big media star like dog poo.

I am so sick of ESPN sucking the dick of the NFC East with wall to wall coverage of their team's practice squads when the entire division has basically been garbage for over a decade, meanwhile if we're not sporting the likes of a Cam Newton, the Panthers get David Newton attempting to do whatever it is that he does every so often, but not so you'd really notice.

If you ever really wanna know which teams ESPN gives fug all about, just watch the draft and take note of which teams are drafting when they go to commercial.  Those are the teams they don't care about, one of which is almost always us.

      Some Thoughts on Legette based upon an ex-scout's ranking him WR1 in the draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      No, he has a long way to go to be that--I think he is probably referring to his ceiling--I think Legette has more room to grow from where he is that those more polished WRs.  When you look at his potential, it presents an argument that is not so one sided.  Of those three, only Odunze had a higher RAS score 9.92.  XL had a 9.90.  Malik Nabors had a 9.67.  Harrison Jr.  did not have one.  I am not sure that Legette has not overcome more obstacles to be where he is, and if you consider his adversity, his story might be more incredible, even though he is only a second tier rookie right nowm with Mitchell, Thomas, Pearsall, and maybe McConkey.  I am going from memory-but you have to think of things as a kid-when he was 16, his mother died of breast cancer.  When he entered S Carolina, his father died.  They had some issues and QB problems and the OL was terrible in Columbia---the others you mentioned?  None of that family drama, and they played at Washington, Ohio State, and LSU.  Huge difference.  I am proud of him as a man--when all his chips were on the table--when he had no more chances, he broke through and became a first round draft pick.  A school with a losing record, mediocre QB, and bad OL.  Mentally, he was struggling through the losses of both parents.  Amazing story.  Is he as good as those three who played at top universities?  Not yet.
