2010 strength of schedule.

strength of schedule will mean even less this year than usual. Last year's teams will be very different than this year. Look at our team. Do we look at all like last year? There are a bunch of teams that have made significant changes to the point that the current teams will hardly represent their previous ones. For example if Favre retires and they can't adequate replace him, Minnesota will be night and day different from last year. How about Philly without McNabb or Washington with him. The list goes on and on.

Good read, but these things are insanely inaccurate. There are always a handful of teams that go from the slums to playoff contenders every year.

Well, sure. But at the same time, many teams are perennially horrible (I'm thinking virtually the entire NFC West here).

Before the season started, we were slated to have one of the toughest schedules in 2009. I think that schedule played out accurately, for the most part. The teams we thought would be contenders were through much of the season (even if we ended up embarassing them -- see the Minnesota Vikings).

Likewise, there will be some teams that go from being contenders one season to the slums the next. Of the teams we face, I could see Pittsburgh, Arizona and Cincinnatti in this bunch.

We had a relatively easy schedule in 2008, and it definitely remained that way through the season thanks to playing always awful teams like Kansas City, Detroit and Oakland.

this is my thinking. there is always a balance.

Definitely true. We can potentially sweep NFC west. Seahawks have gotten worst(and made one of the dumbest trades for a quarterback since Jay Cutler lol.). 49ers are going to be average, and may be tough to beat because of their good defense. Cardinals offense depends entirely on Leinert, which is a good thing for us. and the Rams are, well, the Rams.

Our 2010 strength of schedule is ranked 26th out of all 32 teams. Our opponents for 2010 have a combined .477 winning percentage.

Good year to get a youth movement off the ground if you ask me.

Yup, this is the ONLY reason that I'm not totally bummed about the youth movement (A.K.A. rebuilding). As I have stated in other threads, the quality of our schedule should net us 5-6 wins even if we are playing, at best, mediocre ball. Above average play yields another 2 or 3 wins and excellent play might actually see the team get 10 wins.

HOWEVER, given last year's schedule I would see no improvement over wins and loses. In other words, last year's team would have been playoff contenders with this year's schedule.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.

      Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor.

      Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
