So were we planning on skipping a live camera presser all along or?

Optics wise it looks really weak when the staff made the decision that set this fiasco in motion. It gives the appearance the head coach is already on the run from his decisions. Not good no matter how you could want to spin it. Can't expect accountability from your roster and then operate like this.

You could easily explain it away as nobody knows how to use the preseason games, so we're experimenting.  We thought we would get a good look at the guys we need to make decisions on.  We'll see more of our starter guys next week. etc

Sounds legit.

 

I didn't watch 8 games from last season. That's how bad it got for me.

It was pre season with maybe one starter playing (Dane Jackson I believe) yeah last year was the first for me were I literally couldn't watch regular season games....

 

That said people here being up in arms and b*things about everything is just silly in my book realistic expection is maybe 5 wins this year, I'm hoping the offensive line play gels and we at least get a season with some exciting moments... I'd like to see how BY is with no excuses.

Loosing it because a lineup that was all back ups on a low depth team Is silly,  expecting world beaters is assanine.

 

I'm glad gambling is legal now it means I can watch the NFL with a vested interest even if we are unwatchable. 

 

I'm expecting us to suck horribly so if we play even average I'll be happy af

Some peoples overreactions are hilarious. I would at least wait until the actual full team is playing before jumping to conclusions. Once we see everyone then make some judgements. Good guy the usual doom and gloom guys are like a comedy poo show non stop. Its fun to watch and laugh at a few of them! I will be right there with you by the time the seasons starts and the ACTUAL TEAM IS PLAYING and we look like this but holy poo why not wait till the ACTUAL STARTERS PLAY and if it looks like this then lets get pissed and grab our pitchforks and storm the dumpster wanting answers

    • What's up gents, the OGs remember me, the guy who single-handedly gave the Panthers the greatest uniform in history moniker. Not too long after that I got involved with Pro Football Focus (pre-Collinsworth acquisition) and ended up taking backseat here to preserve some objectivity. But from a distance I noticed a lot. After the end of the Cam era this place devolved into the most un-fun, petty, negative cesspool of whining and bitching that has ever graced the internet. The worst part of it all is that the level of discussion turned into the most ill-informed, hot-take, unnuanced crap, rife with people talking out of their posteriors as if they have any clue about what they are watching. Once you get into the professional side of the sport and actual film rooms, you start to understand there's an absurd number of moving parts to pretty much every snap and the details you are privy to are truly only half the picture. The absolute most important thing I learned from being part of professional level football analysis is that quarterbacking is literally the most intricate and difficult position in all of professional sports, and that the NFL itself is struggling to develop any workable model that allows them to understand what makes one succeed vs what makes one fail. Because of this paradox it has also made the quarterback position itself grossly overvalued from a fan and media standpoint, creating an absurd fixation on the results delivered by a single player who has to rely on the contributions of everyone around them. This also drives the dreaded inflation of QB salaries that inevitably cause even elite teams to lose key talent all to pour cash into the one player supposed to be able to single-handedly elevate the entire team (and defense and special teams and coaching and ownership by some mysterious proxy), yet without those same players even talented teams can wander the wilderness searching for the right guy to take advantage of their talent window. The discussions the last few years around Bryce has personified this insanity, as this board has devolved into some sort of electronic civil war between the hyperbolic Young supporters and the vitriolic Bryce haters. The reality, like practically everything in this world, is somewhere in the middle. He has traits that can absolutely elevate a team with creativity, play recognition, off-arm angle throws, mental toughness, etc. He's also physically limited, with mostly "good-enough" qualities for most situations that a professional quarterback is asked to do, and will never be an overpowering physical force like pre-injury Cam. But "good-enough" physicality represents a large majority of championship-winning quarterbacks, even in the modern era. There's a reason the corpse of Peyton Manning took the chip from elite physical specimen Cam, because the team surrounding him was talented enough to get him there, while we all know Cam was the driving force of that 2015 team. That's no knock on him, that's just how the game of football tends to work: the more complete team usually wins. The summary is this: if this team lives or dies solely on the performance of its quarterback, then it is absolutely a paper tiger even if he plays brilliantly week in and out. There are no superheroes in this sport, there are only conduits that proxy the collective efforts of much of the team around them. And no one alive can tell you how the position is played perfectly, it's all a confluence of circumstance and what unique collection of traits each player brings to the position, which can never be truly recreated season after season, even for the same player on the same team. If this place remains a raging hellscape of idiotic hot takes I will happily remove myself again and do something more productive for yet another decade, but maybe's there hope that we can all get back to the old adage, and keep pounding.
