Just a statistic suggesting it, but for those watching this horrid team, DJ is the bright spot. Extremely disappointed Wallace and Jack called out DJ for not being more aggressive or being a leader recently. That is their job and they are out of line. Was glad to hear Larry Brown immediately disagree with those comments.

The fact that DJ is playing the way he is on a bad team that's underachieving is even more impressive to me. If Wallace and a few others on the team would step their game up and if the team in general would start knocking down shots from the perimeter, DJ's stats would be even better.

Played toe to toe with Chauncey Billups tonight. Not that impressive though, he's been hanging with the best of them all season.

"We have a lot of confidence in (DJ) and not comparing him to anybody. We want him to be the best player for (@bobcats)" #StephenJackson

Very well ran team with great personnel, glad to hear this after the other comments.

A PG doesn't need to be mouthy or have extra swagger to be a good NBA PG. At times he can get in a jam and commit a turnover, and his shooting is streaky, he's either on fire or ice cold. But his demeanor is even-keel, and he doesn't seem to let pressure bother him.

Looking at his A-to-TO ratio, and knowing how many shots the Bobcats miss, I know the sky is the limit for DJ. I'm a fan.

Yeah I think they said he was tied with Chris Paul and Jose Calderon for tops in the league at that stat.

Yeah Rondo is not too vocal, at least not early on his career. And look where he is.

I don't think it's right for Wallace to call out Augustin for leaderships skills. Of course he will never be Felton in terms of being vocal and probably never will. It's just not in his personality.

Jackson and Wallace have to lead in terms of being vocal.

      PFF Best Deep Ball Thrower Award

      By Navy_football · Posted

      This is what I mean. I am not some huge BY fan. I honestly don't look at QBs the way a lot of you guys do. Right or wrong, I've always looked at them as just another cog in the machine. Didn't want BY or even a trade up for a QB in 2023. We saw in the Super Bowl how important the rest of the team is on any given Sunday. Now... so PFF, who has no reason to prop up BY, says he's first in 2 stat lines and Panthers "fans" are arguing why it's either wrong or a made up stat just to make BY look good. Even though they have multiple stat lines where he's literally last in. Like 32nd in the NFL. Some he's even lower than 32. Take a step back. Try to objectively self analyze. This is just not sensible.  Same thing I see with other teams' fans and their QBs though. We analyze every single throw on every single play. For every other QB, most here are only using highlights to judge. Makes a difference. We saw Stafford miss throws when they played Carolina - both games. We saw Love throw crap up when they played Carolina. We saw Dak miss throws when they played Carolina - and Pickens was putting on a SHOW. We saw Josh Allen win a game with 163 yards passing against Carolina, but if BY does it he's crap and can't pass for 200 yards. Gents... come on.

      None of us think we're contenders this season but no reason we're doomed to 5 or 6 wins either. Dan has to have another 2025- like draft class and at least 2 key free agent signings. We're not Seattle but they don't win without 5 starters from their last 2 draft classes and Darnold and Lawrence in free agency.  Alas,  we'll have to wait one more season for a QB upgrade.

      I've got nothing else to say really than: Ayup. Here we are again. Again.  All we can really hope for is progress. If we improve as much again, it'll be good. If we don't, it'll be foretold.
