LAST?! We're not that bad are we? ... guys?

I have watched two weeks of losses in just as many days..been away...and the surprising thing is I saw two different pluses...both which did not, sadly, repeat themselves. Both games had moments...real moments!

Week one, great defense and some hopeful smack downs...sprinkled with the usual pile of penalty crap!

Week two, so-so defense with some hopeful smackdowns...sprinkled with some MG powah plays...sprinkled with the usual pile of penalty crap!

As we read the, likely, tons of Williams, Stewart, Beason, "want out" posts let's also hope we see that maybe, Fox has made one good decision that could pull us out before the ship sinks. This team has talent, poor judgement, and the usual pile of bandwagoning!

Oh, and Kelly...I salute you!

Even if we traded him to the Packers or Saints, there's no guarantee he'd get a ring.

Also, you assume the Front Office would be willing to part with their only ever consistent star player....

we have plenty enough receivers thank you

See? And I'm sure there's a similar sentiment towards 89 by many Front Offices.

We know how beastly Smitty can be because we've watched him dozens of times. Most people only see him once or twice a year if that.

Smith in Carolina = Super Star (and even then you have some moron haters)

Smith anywhere else = Maybe a star?

"The Matt Moore experiment is already over and it is time to try out the Jimmy Clausen experiment in week 3. There are no good signs in this move for the Panthers and a loss to the Bucs moved them into last place on this week's ranking."

I bet you we are going to win against the bengals

Right now we are not very good. But once some of these young guns mature a bit, we should begin to see some positive dividends. My guess is that mid-season we will begin to get a better sense of the talent level on this team, although it will likely be a bit too late for a playoff run...but set us up nicely for whoever coaches us next year (and no, I don't believe there will be a lockout next year, just a lot of posturing going on right now).

IMO, many here are simply being impatient with such a young team, and want instant gratification without thought to long-term satisfaction.

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.   
    • Who didn't see that coming.... 
    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
