fuging stupid. the average starting field position with this set up will be like the 35 or 40 yard line. 

You know the main goal of this is driven by increasing scoring cause gamblers and younger fans prefer 49-35 games to 20-17 ones. So sick of this BS, not long ago it was impossible to change rules yearly, now they can not stop adding a few each year.....just stop. 

Im as close to leaving the NFL as I have been, only remaining issue is the Panthers and tepper has worked on that!! I cannot quit the panthers........jake gyllenhaal GIF

At least the fair catch went away.  That was stupid.  Honestly, it's a step towards the old KO, just the amount of open field to build up a full head of steam is taken away, thus less injuries.  I think this format will entice more returns.  That part I like.  Last year's KO's were so boring.

Right? It's like when they moved the XP back however many yards. Makes it more interesting and takes an afterthought play and makes it matter more.

I'll admit a part of me misses the old "wedge busters" on teams kick off units. Despite it being ridiculously dangerous it was entertaining to watch.

      The Panthers have an effort problem

      By CPcavedweller · Posted

      To me, this seems like they feel they aren't going to be competitive. I can't help but go back to Bryce. Good guy, but he doesn't inspire people to give it their all. He isn't a "leader" that people look to. There is no Smith, Delhomme, Kuechly, Cam, etc. coming in that door.  It has to be Bryce, but biologically speaking, how often is the shortest man in the room going to command the kind of respect that will drive people? It just isn't. That isn't how we are wired. That isn't how any living animal on Earth today is wired.  I just follow the science guys.

      Vick's issue with Reid was that he couldn't take a hit, and he wouldn't go down. Otherwise he was pretty good much of the time.  Mahomes has a system that works. Mahomes doesn't become Mahomes elsewhere because not everyone can extract 125% of the ability of a specific player like Reid can. Kevin O'Connell is beginning to look like he has that ability as well but I'll need to see how he does with his Redshirt Freshman.  I also wonder how much of their playoff issue last year was related to the offense as a whole and not just Darnold. Fans don't really dive into the "why" things happen, they just see the what and complain about it.
