"Reverse discrimination?" Haha! Oh boy.

On a serious note, it is mainly because he plays for us. Kyle Brandt even admitted that no one is going to pay attention to the Panthers after last night so everyone should watch CMC while he was nationally televised. He is regarded as one of the best RBs in the league, if not the best. It's not like he isn't getting respect. His face would be everywhere if he were drafted by Dallas.

haven’t really ever seen evidence of that. These shows just say anything to make you click the article. 

If anything his status in the league is amplified by his fantasy value. Everybody knows how good he is. 

I feel like tons of players are spoken about when their race contrasts to their positional trend. Black Punters/Kickers, black QBs, white DBs etc. If someone is South Asian or Latino it usually comes up too. Always highlighted, never avoided.

It's Stephen A. Smith & Fox News- what programming genius thought this much bullsh!t in one space would work?

Oh like CNN that has horrible ratings week in and week out? Don’t bring that politics bullcrap in here. I know exactly what your insinuating.

We’ve not been a good team even with CMC going 1k/1k.

He’s missed significant time, and he doesn’t have a huge library of house calls.

Bad team, gaps in playing time, volume touches guy, does his work between the 20’s.  
 

What kind of coverage does he warrant exactly?  He’s our guy so we love him and think he’s the GOAT.  No underlying social issue here, just context.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
