Yup, the Panthers haven't finished worse than 8-8 in the past 9 years leading up until this one season where we clearly are going through a rebuilding process. If you go back to school and come out next year you could easily find yourself on the Bills, Browns or Raiders...

There was a 7-9 or two mixed in them thar years.

I don't think I am welcome...:D

lol, me either. He never responded to my tweet which as simple and succinct as it was, completely contradicted what he said this morning... That's why I had such a problem with it.

@mortreport Well then, do YOU feel Richardson would pass up Luck b/c of what u stated?We've already put it out there we're not trading down.

Even with how poorly he came off yesterday at the presser, he still made it clear the emphasis is on building through the draft and growing/keeping our own players, and no action on the free agency front until the CBA is done...

And if Mort heard the "more money/benefits, less games" then he heard JR's stance on drafting players... Garbage.

Wait a second. So the rookie wages will definitely be in place at draft time?

Well then that changes a lot of things. And then it makes perfect sense why Luck is waiting to declare. That means he has no clue how much money he would get.

How can that be though? Don't they have to come to an agreement in order for them to officially instate the rules? If the CBA does not get done by draft time, how can they introduce the new pay scale? Or is that something that's separate from the CBA negotiations?

He has a chance to get paid well this year, but no chance to get paid well next year. That is how I understand it. There is a link somewhere on here to an article that explains the rationale--even the Stanford president thinks he should come out (inference).

The media has and alway will have selective hearing and spin it in a way to get ratings or subscriptions.

I am sure Oliver will explain that to Andrew when they talk.

The talk is 2012 on the rookie wages, still

I heard Mort say the same thing late yesterday on NFL live. One of the reasons that JR's presser yesterday was so bad. He didn't do anything to help the Panther image of being cheap. Hell he said he didn't believe in Fox but kept him around because he didn't want to pay him and a new coach. Sorry but that is cheap for the NFL. Don't tell me how he spent money in the past, he's cheap as hell the last year plus. it continues with the bargain basement coaches search he is conducting. Hell I'm looking for a giant blue light on top the stadium soon. The smart thing would have been to bring in Gruden or Harbaugh for interviews so you at least give the image of not being cheap.

And yes this stuff effects Luck, how can it not. Not to mention JR's dismissing Harbaugh as a coach in yesterday's PC. Sure that will go over well with Luck. Yesterday's presser should have been a full on image improvement session, but made things worse.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Icege · Posted

      Just to clarify: I'm not arguing that height or footwork can’t affect QB play. I'm asking how those concerns translate into measurable, consistent outcomes. That’s the standard we should be applying to all QBs, not just Bryce. If height is such a limitation, then we'd expect to see elevated batted passes or poor pressure evasion. Yet none of that shows up in the data. Bryce was one of the lowest in the league for batted passes and his 16.9 pressure-to-sack ratio is good enough for 9th out of all QBs with 300+ dropbacks. So if you believe footwork tied to height is a meaningful issue, what metric shows that because two that would aren't doing so? This isn't about denying flaws. It's about applying fair, consistent standards because otherwise we’re not evaluating performance which means that it's not analysis taking place... it's just going off of the vibes that somebody has consciously decided on. Citing one red zone play you remember doesn't provide that consistent standard. I don't say that to dismiss your memory, but to emphasize that anecdotal evidence (especially from an avowed skeptic) shouldn’t carry more weight than consistent tape or analytics. For example, there was recently dissonance over Bryce's deep ball accuracy where it was implied that he was inaccurate throwing 20+ yards. Yet, the data and film show otherwise. And I unfortunately have to still ask since you won't directly answer: What specific metrics do you believe matter when evaluating whether a QB is top-10? You've mentioned YPA and passing yards per game, and that's fair. If that's what you're prioritizing, then let's call that your criteria but clarity matters because it prevents moving goalposts when the data doesn’t match one's expectations. I appreciate the response and hope that your holiday weekend goes well also. ❤️
