For the Elite QB folks, something to ponder.

Who considers Ben an elite QB?

Is it the championships that makes Ben elite? Does that mean Marino was not elite?

Don't forget that Ben earned one of those rings while having the worst QB rating in the history of SB winning QB's.

Swap Manning out for Big Ben on the Colts and tell me how well he does?

Beat me to it, I would not consider Ben "elite"...he is very good, but not "elite". NFL network talked about that, GB wants "Championship QB", while Pits wants a QB to make a few plays when needed. Translation, GB wants a QB that is a game CHANGER, while the Steelers want a game MANAGER, which Ben does well. Packers like to pass, Steelers like to run.

Bottom line most fans know nothing about football. Those of us who coach it, well we just try to educate and know its futile.

So lets pick a QB, and then another and then another in this draft, because that is what would work in Madden right? Even though there is no real first round talent in this draft, ALL of them are 3+ year projects, we MUST get a QB DAMN IT!

Show me a picture or proof that you are a real legitimate Football coach and I will pay you.

When has Ben Roethlisberger ever been considered elite by anyone that doesn't worship Super Bowl rings.

There are 5 elite QB's in the league. Manning, Brady, Brees, Rivers, Rodgers. That's it.

Any one of those five could be interchanged with the other and their teams would still win, and the O's would play great.

Big Ben could not go to any of their teams and do well.

This damnit. How come when I make threads relating to things like this, only the idiots read it. Everyone talks about getting elite QBs like they are growing on trees. Those are the only 5 in the league (you could include Vick if he keeps it up) and the rest rely heavily on their teams to prop them up and make the look better than they are.

using last year's QBs for a better comparison...two elites and one of them lost...still, two elite QBs went to the superbowl. is the OP trying to say it doesn't matter if you have an elite or even a great QB? that's just plain stupid.

where were the teams that had the worst QBs in the league? you know, the ones whose fans keep on saying that all you need is a serviceable QB?

oh yea, what about those fans that say you should have a great run game and that as long as you have that you are good? how many times did the packers run?

Not taking anything away from the Packers, but they didn't put together many drives. They scored 21 points off turnovers and 7 of those were directly a result of the defense. Their offense didn't look that great by any means and were dominated in every facet of the game except for turnovers.

You can try and put it on A Rod's arm all you want and it's deserved but it doesn't tell the story at all. It's the story the media wants you to buy.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      You bring up a good point on the stability part and i would agree that probably will factor into it. But yes, Tepper does have a strong influence on who stays/goes but I still believe ultimately it'is Morgan, Tilis and Canales who will decide.

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!
