Here’s an article about Drury apparently reaching a plateau with the Canes. Also an interesting comment about Jordan Staal at the end.

Staal represents the Canes and is a bit of a legend in my mind. However I do believe he’s lost a step in speed and stamina as he’s aged. I noticed it last year but even more this year. Not to say he’s not an asset anymore, his defense is still pretty good, just not what it was a few years ago and his shots are off as well.

I’m sure I’ll get some disagreements, just my opinion.

I think Drury has plateaued. I do not think Staal is done yet, he’s always an end of year player not beginning.

We've seen everything Drury has to offer, he is who we thought he was last year....4th line grinder is his ceiling.  If he'd play with a little more grit it would help offset his offensive limitations.

Staal is still very valuable in the face off circle and age does catch up to everyone, but he's a pretty heavy guy at 6'4" 220lbs.  He's hard to get off the puck and does work along the boards and has that wingspan on defense to really disrupt whoever he is put against.  I think when he re-signed both him and the Canes expected this year and next.

They are due to fall back to earth at some point. 

Rags were on the road a lot the first couple weeks of the season as well. Not like the Canes, who went 11 out of 15 of their first games on the road, but the rags fared much better on the road than the Canes.

It'll all come together in the end. No worries.... except for the goalies.

The rags are actually much better on the road than at home recently

      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.
