We're just not quite at that level of team just yet.

Thank you for proving my point.  

In this conference, with this talent, with this year's schedule, this team should be to that level. 

If you're fine being 8-5 or 9-4 every year, thats cool.  That's just not what I expect from a team with this caliber of talent, in a subpar conference with an insanely favorable schedule.

You're being delusional. We were 2-9 and haven't had a losing season with Mack yet. We're 6-1 and recruiting well. If we lose 4 or 5 games then we can have a different conversation.

If you think this team has legit top 10 talent you're lying to yourself. A big part of Mack's success this go around is landing two legit NFL caliber QBs. We've largely been overachieving versus our overall talent level.

If we played in the SEC, I'd agree.  Minus Clemson (and maybe Duke) this season, we are 2 TDs better than everyone on our schedule.  The loss to UVA is unacceptable on so many levels, but mainly coaching and preparation. 

Let's re-assess in 5 weeks.  No point in pissing and moaning amongst ourselves until the season plays out.  If we go 12-1, win the ACC title and I get to go to Miami again I'll be fine with that.

The refs just cheated Kansas out of a turnover and Oklahoma scores a TD

Refs should not be hired by the conferences. There's just way too many financial incentives to get a team into the playoffs. There's just way too many extremely questionable flags benefitting playoff contenders in-conference every single year. Maybe going to 12 teams will help clean up some of that incentive.

But honestly, a lot of times it does feel like straight up game rigging for the teams with playoff aspirations.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      How about if you don't like my choice of content, then don't click on the thread? We're discussing the NFL, not Pee-wee football. Until we start having "great" games on a continuous basis, I'm going to continue to talk all facets of the team. Moreover, I haven't seen X have a "great" game yet. Just like I supported patience last season, I have become critical this season. If it hurts your feelings, it just hurts your feelings. I've been on this board longer than most of you, and I've been a fan of the Panthers since before they stepped on the field, so don't tell me how to fan.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Speaking generally to this whole thing— I would say taking a play out of structure too soon isn’t always the riskier option with a higher reward. You’re crashing the call and going out of structure when maybe you didn’t need to. Attempting a premature escape does not inherently have a high reward. But yeah, it’s risky ball. Especially when your not outpacing IDLs. Sometimes the higher risk/reward option is staying in a crowded pocket, not letting it break down, stepping up and making the big time throw. Now, if we’re saying it’s impossible to judge, and there’s so many factors, it’s a complicated position to evaluate, sure but the saying something with so much certainty that his biggest weakness is that he’s too aggressive — I don’t, I just don’t see that. Like at all.  And nothing has really convinced me otherwise. You can’t just keep going on about how it’s so intricate and difficult to understand but be so certain about this one thing. And all that aside, pocket work, mechanics and footwork have been the flashing red sirens since day 1 more than physical traits (we drafted him knowing he was a historic outlier) - do we just not want to acknowledge it? It’s even been communicated straight from the horses mouth…the coaches and team saying what he needs to work on the most. I appreciate the perspective, but nothing here has convinced me Bryce is somehow this aggressive type. Still open, but I don’t see it

      Some Tet appreciation

      I think Egbuka is a very polished guy, for sure. TMac has some refinement that needs to happen. His ceiling is probably higher than Egbuka's but for that to matter you have to eventually reach it. I definitely don't have buyers remorse on TMac. Great pick.
