Long time lurker first post

Better first post (and thread) than most "lurkers." The rest usually get in some argument with "Senior Members" (rofl, that poo still has me laughing) or make a thread/post with a wall of text regurgitating the same thing someone posted 5 minutes ago.

I hate when nOObs pick fights with older members. Happens all the time on the Laker forums. ( I have 9,000 posts there )

I hate to be the one to say this but me and my buddy I love him no homo but we were playing madden and he through the ball down the field and steve smith caught it and just ran and nobody caught him cause hes so fast and my buddy was like why don't the Panthers do that which is why John Fox should have got Boldin but you know whatever. It's like I love the Panthers so much and I had a dream the other day about them where deangelo ran for like 250 yards and I'm pretty sure it will happen. I know I've said a lot but that's why we should start Jimmy Clausen cause he has pedigree. I just hope you all don't hate me for saying all this because it's THE TRUTH and the truth sometimes hurts.

GO PANTHERS!

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
