A Question for the College Ball Followers

Figured I'd get some sarcastic remarks for a sarcastic question.

But when I see stupid crap like: Trying to catch a kick-off on the five; that any Pop-Warner kid would have the good sense to let roll into the end zone then bobble it....TWICE! Then end up on the two or three yard line!!!! A QB that holds his hands so far apart that he can't find the ball from center. Arm tackels. Continous missed assignments on offense and defense leads one to wonder if the offense knows the play book and the defense can read a developing play. QB's that obviously can't read a defense. Recievers who can't catch a ball when does actually it hit 'em in the numbers. Offensive linemen who at THE MOST CRITICAL TIME jump off sides TWICE!!!!!! A coaching staff that...Well...Either sucks or just don't care. And as it has been pointed out more than once by many here, many on this team have been out of college just one year. So maybe if there was an undefeated college team this year it might not be so far fetched that this years Panthers would get a run for their money in a game. And if it were an all-star college team it might even be plausable they'd lose. Its a good thing they don't put them up against an all-star college team anymore. It might be embarassing. At least we're getting embarrassed by our piers.

No " i didn't graduate from university" Though I may not get it right all the time I at least TRY to capitolize and punctuate.

Not graduating from a 4 year school, I'm not really into college ball that much.

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 college all stars used to play the super bowl champions every year. The college team won 9 games out of 42 with 2 games ending in a tie.

A college all star team this year would probably lose to the super bowl champion, but would throttle the panthers.

With the money these college stars and their daddy's are getting paid, it's not really college football..some of these programs are minor-league NFL squads. Still could never hang with an NFL team, but it would be hilarious to watch a college O-line crap their pants against an NFL pass rush, ala Mathis and Freeney lining up.

Yeah, I think most of those college players were playing the game to make an impression on the NFL to get picked by one of the NFL teams. So they played pretty hard.

Physical conditioning was pretty bad for NFL players back then. Probably most of the conditioning was drinking beer.

The NFL didn't want to continue with that game because even though they won most of the time, it was embarrassing when they lost.

The David -vs- Goliath aspect was pretty interesting for the fans. I don't even want to think of us playing a college all-star team if we played anywhere close to the way we played last Sunday.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.
