Slowly Progressing on the Road

Well damn, it sure has taken a while but I have to say I am growing more comfortable when we play on the road. I know at 7-19 is nothing, let me reiterate...nothing to think well of, but we have shown progress in maintaining momentum away from Charlotte.

I'm just saying, they're slowly getting better. Maybe by the end of the year we will be good enough to win a road playoff game. :) Cheers to optimism.

Like you said, 7-19 is nothing to get excited about, and acknowleding that any road win is a good win, the four teams you've beaten recently on the road are Phoenix, Golden State, Sacramento, and Minnesota. Phoenix is the only playoff-caliber team (currently 6th in the West), and the other three are the three worst teams in the West. Playing the Lakers tough on the road and limiting Kobe was a more encoruaging outing than any of these four wins in my opinion. Cleveland and Miami are the only road wins against the East. Good wins against good teams. You've still got road games at Atlanta, Orlando, Boston, Miami, and Chicago. I'd want to see at least two wins out of those five road games. Then I might start to think that the Bobcats have a shot at getting out of the first round.

i think we'll be dangerous in the playoffs...the only matchup i really fear is cleveland..aka lets at least stay out of 8th.

Really? I think we match up well against Cleveland. I would hate to face the Magic with Howard.

Cleveland, I don't think will make it past the Conference Finals. They are going to need someone else to step up on a consistent basis besides LeBron. To be honest either way I think we're done in the 1st round but I think it would be a close series with the Cavs compared to a team like the Magic.

Playing the Lakers tough on the road and limiting Kobe was a more encoruaging outing than any of these four wins in my opinion.

Yes, couldn't agree with you more. It was even without Wallace, right? It was a shame we couldn't pull it out though. But like you said that was more convincing than say last night where we barley pulled one out in Minny, a game we just couldn't put away.

But then the Bobcats lose to Star-less Portland and New Orleans.

Larry couldn't have said it better himself, "loses like these tell you what kind of team you have, and that's a team that's not quite up to the task yet"

Were getting good, but not quite there yet.

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

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

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

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
