A Question for the College Ball Followers


Stovewood

Recommended Posts

Though this question does smack of a sarcastic note. Not graduating from a 4 year school, I'm not really into college ball that much. I know that's where the pro pool is drawn. I just have other pokers in the fire that waste my time. But I was wondering, given their pooooor performance this season and from what appears to be a lack of basic offensive and special team skills....

Is there a college team that would stand a chance of beating the Panthers this season? Could an all-star high school team?

Just asking.

The worst nfl teams are made up of the best of the best of the best out of college so hellllllllllll no.

The NFL team would score probably within 2-3 plays max if they didn't run the kick back everytime. The college team would have negative offensive yards, they wouldn't be able to punt without getting it blocked a majority of the time.

It would be that bad. Like when the new kid came to school and he didn't know which kids were beasts at kickball so he picked all the scrubs.

No. Every NFL player was the best player at their respective college/university. If they were not the best outright player, they for sure were the best at their position. Just think, life time special teamers and backups in the NFL were captains, starters and record holders at their respective schools.

These days no college team could beat an NFL team who stay in shape year round. But between 1934 and 1975 the reigning NFL champ would play a college all star team before the start of the NFL season. The college all-stars won 9 times- last in 1963. The reason is because pro teams before the 70s didn't stay in shape year round often using the preseason and first part of the season to get into shape. Remember that the money wasn't great back then and most players had other jobs.

Now it wouldn't be even close and wasn't the last half dozen games they played which is one reason the game was abandoned.

    • I did not, this reminds me of another live action type video game that never made it and has a huge cult following. Thanks for the 90s nostalgia frend!! My gods do I miss that era at USAs peak and it was my best on many aspects too. 
    • Many layers my frend- Panthers had a draft recently. They picked 4 defense players. Each player picked 11, 22, 33, 55 as their number. For some players that number match the round or pre-draft round rank, example- Prince was a 3rd rounder and choose 33. Nic was a 1st rounder on some mock drafts and Dan Morgan said they had him as a 1st, he picked 11. Cam Jackson recently switched his number to 55, same as draft and has been telling Dave he wants to be special over and over.  The 44 was to add GOAT feels, thoughts, and more intrigue to this rookie phenomenon. X files cause it was a great TV show and maybe it was playing when this theory came together.......   I hope this helps!      
    • The best things Purdy has are certainly important tools for any QB. His accuracy his timing his decision making etc. I feel like he is a high end Teddy Bridgewater. You can compete and win in the regular season with this especially in a weakened NFC but where his limitations come into focus is when you are trying to contend for a Super Bowl you are going against elite and in some instances generational QB's like Mahomes. And when the time has come for him to go up against Mahomes he simply can't get it done. Now certainly he is not alone in that regard and people will point to another highly regarded QB such as Josh Allen who also cannot get by Mahomes. But the difference I see is Allen is not IMO at a phsyical disadvantage in that matchup whereas Purdy is. And that is with what had been to this point a comically stacked roster around Purdy and let's be clear we cannot understate that regardless of which side of the fence we land on in this debate. Purdy has had a top 5 roster and a top 5 coach. And the last time they went to the Super Bowl they leaned on McCaffrey extremely heavily. Now with what they are having to pay him and divert limited resources elsewhere they face a steep climb to get back to the Super Bowl let alone actually win it.
