I dont take hurricanes lightly and have had some pretty big rows with folk who minimize them.

 

This is going to be brutal on the Fla coast.

Im exhausted by the weather people in the triad trying to scare everyone into believing this is going to be anything more than a bad storm.

 

And I didnt say apocalyptic. Ed Mathews did

So is this your definition of just another storm?

 

Just looking at the pictures it looks pretty significant.

 

*43 people dead from this storm so far...

In Greensboro, this was just another storm

They said earlier today that the dam at lake lure was going to collapse but it didnt

They canceled school in areas that just got rain

They preempted regular programming to scare people into thinking that a hurricane was going to hit High Piont but it didnt

Debby was worse but they wanted us to think this was going to be an apocalypse

 

 

You're not understanding that Im annoyed by the ramped up "the sky is falling" way they are treating this weather event.

 

This is why people dont believe weather forecasters when it really is going to be bad

So 43 people died as of right now and you think that wasn't a big deal?

 

Cold world!

43 in NC?  Someone should tell Roy Cooper he just said 3.

 

Youre doing exactly what I talking about

The hurricane is 1 system. Do you realize we weren't the only state affected?

 

A loss of life is always serious. 3 people died today because of this storm. That's a big deal. Asheville is literally flooded. People will be without power for multiple days. All this is a big deal.

 

Just because your area didn't get hit hard doesn't mean everyone else did.

I realize that.

 

Do you realize that's part of their job? It's better to expect the worst than not expect much. They just want people to be safe. I have no idea why you're so upset about that lol

Ive stated it quite clearly.

Im irritated over the hyperbolic coverage.  Im not worked over the national coverage or the coverage of the aftermath but the talk of the anticipated widespread devastation 500+ miles from where it came ashore and 100 miles from the path is ridiculous.

Who cares? You're not forced to watch them lol. I mean, better safe than sorry. Maybe them using scare tactics will keep morons off the roads. Big deal, it wasn't catastrophic like they said it would be. Isn't that a good thing?

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
