Personally, I find it pathetic when fans of a team post threads about individuals that used to play for the Panthers. Its the football equivalent of google stalking your ex-girlfriend. But it seems to be a popular thing. Allow it in the panthers forum or no?

I don't have a problem when the discussion is on filling a gap as it relates to current players because the skill set is the same and a norm has been established, but Jake is a Brown and Peppers is a Bear. I don't want Peppers to succeed but I would like to see Jake go out on a high note. However, the current players are all that really matter, so don't give me the statistical updates of ex-Panthers every game. That is a bit wack.

All non-current Panthers ( meaning they aren't Panthers anymore ) should be posted in the NFL section, or the smack section. Leave this section strictly for Panthers news. It isn't hard to read and people should have been posting things in its proper place anyway.

I guess I'll be one of the first to disagree. I think it depends obviously the situation varies. If someone eventually posts that through 6 games Peppers has been nonexistent I definitely have NO problem seeing that...it's actually something I would WANT to see and discuss. Though I would hate for it to become a FEATURED topic on the forum to the point it begins to take over, so an occasional thread that talks about the players current production is no problem to me (same reason why I read the Jake thread about him going 6-7).

But understand this is the Panthers Forum; so it's TECHNICALLY in the wrong place...

    • Hmm let's see. Listen to a random graph or believe my own eyes which show poor ball placement and way too many 50/50 balls across 30+ career starts. Also I've lost count how many passes I've seen Bryce throw downfield to the sideline that were heading out of bounds and the receiver had to make an acrobatic move just to attempt to haul it in. But more often than not that throw has been an incompletion. BTW it's also not lost on me that the biggest general team fluffers here will waste absolutely no time in switching that up and throwing anyone necessary under the bus in order to prop up #9.
    • I was never comparing Brady to Bryce.  I used his first year stat for YPA to show it's a stupid comparison because Brady only had 1 pass for 6 yards in his rookie year.  It was a clear example of my point (at least for some people), that taking a single stat and using that to say player A was better than player B. Further, the original discussion was my claim that many people do expect Bryce to be more like Cam in terms of success for a 1st overall pick and that where a player is drafted ultimately doesn't matter. You must have forgotten to take your meds as you responded with YPA of Clausen and Ward which has nothing at all, whatsoever, to do with fans expectation of a player solely due to his draft slot.   And yet, you continue to throw random stats to continue a separate conversation that doesn't exist.  I go to great lengths to try to be accurate.  That's is why it's always been my argument that Bryce with Canales as his head coach and actual weapons around him, should be given the time to grow and improve.  If he succeeds and shows he can be a franchise QB then he'll earn an extension.  If not, he won't be here and I have no issue with that.  It's very possible that he will end up a career back up but no one should make that declaration after 13 games. Even if you don't agree, which is fine, I think you could actually understand why I feel that way.  It's not a hard case to make that his first year included horrible coaching, oline, surrounding talent, defense, or run solid run game.  No one should or could be accurately judged in those circumstances.  That doesn't mean you might not turn out to be right and it doesn't mean I don't think Bryce had a ton of things to work on.  He does but I'm not so myopic in my thinking that I also can't see what he has done well and what skills he brings to the position.
