Something I've Noticed on the Road


Captroop

Recommended Posts

On Saturday, I kinda crashed up my car a little bit. There was a god-fosaken trailer in the parking space behind me, and it didn't show up in the rear view mirror. So I'm driving around with a completely dented in bumper cover. [WHO THE FUG LEAVES A TRAILER IN A PARKING SPACE AT A STRIP MALL!!! WHO?!]

Anyway, for the past two days, on the road, I've noticed people are fuggin' with me a lot. They're cutting me off, zipping around me, cutting in front of me at red lights. Mainly, people are riding my ass, maybe two feet away from my rear fender, they never did that before. I finally had to brake-check one guy and then gun it through an intersection, leaving him caught at the red light (the look on his face almost made it worth it). I'm driving the exact same way, at the exact same speeds on the exact same roads, and now people act totally different around me.

And now I'm wondering, is it because of the damage? Do people see a wounded car and just assume I'm a lousy driver? Maybe assholes see body damage and subconsciously associate me with the people they fug with on a daily basis. It's a pretty interesting phenomenon.

Maybe they are trying to lure you into a wreck so they can get a payday. It is apparent that you have prior crash(es) so it would be an easy sell to the cop and their insurance company.

At least that's what I am doing.

The next time you leave me stuck at a red light, I'm gonna.....

weird.....I have dents on my car too, but I drive like an asshole.

Everyone drives too slowly in the left lane, blabs on their cell phones and talks like idiots, or they are just so fuging stupid they aren't paying attention.

Worse still are the people who are going straight in the right turn lane, so now I can't make my right turn on the red light. I want to put cigarettes out on those people.

Spend some time in D.C. The roads in Carolina will feel Southern Pines after that. You simply have to drive like an a-hole here, or your commute will be miserable. I was never an a-hole, but I flew under their radar before. Now I have a bullseye.

ahaha drivers in Charlotte drive me crazy. Some old dude in a Corvette tried to brake check me on 77N the other day. He underestimated me :)

managed to flick him off and make him feel like an idiot in his car at the same time.

I have a lot of people do the little "no no no" finger to me in their rear view too. Look, there is a reason I'm riding ur ass. Get the fug out of the left lane.

THIS. drives me up the fuging wall. I cant stand it either. There is one light this always happens to me at in the mornings, so I look for cops, then cut through the gas station on the right.

I usually will try and nudge and have my signal on to see if they will move forward for me, because I try and do that for people. I feel bad if Im in your way of turning right, and its not like its going out of my way to move up so you can fit through.

The thing that really gets me here is waving when I let you in. This is the south dammit. Ill usually wave and yell your welcome and make sure they see me in their mirror.

    • He has rarely been aggressive enough to be considered a gunslinger type player. The guy he is describing is Pat Mahomes-esque and I doubt any of us see that in Bryce.  When the play is breaking down or he bails on the play, how often are we really seeing him laser it into a tight window? How about scramble long enough to get someone breaking free and then hitting them? I remember that far less, although I am not sitting down to look at all 2.5 years of data, than I am checkdowns, throw aways, off target passes, scrambles, etc. 
    • Wow this is some crazy nonsense. First, he doesn't have problems picking up the ball on quick slants or screens, go back and watch the replays, you can clearly see him start to turn his head on those drops before the ball is in his hands, it's a concentration issue, not an issue of picking up the ball. Yes, it's 100% something he has to improve upon and it's still a knock on him, but you're making up a problem that isn't there, when the real problem that is there is a very correctable one and also one that is rather common for a player 6 games into his career and trying to do too much. After that, I genuinely don't understand what your point is in bringing up where he ranks in YPC, as if that's some indicator of his abilities.  Which, to begin with, he's not 31st, he's 26th (and that's before even factoring in the players above him with just a handful of catches, like Horn Jr with his 4 catches).  Then below him in that YPC ranks are guys like Chase, CeeDee, London, Tyreek, Waddle, Higgins, BTJ, Wilson etc, so I'm not sure what pointing out his ranking has anything to do with what kind of player he is or might become.  All of that before even looking how close he is to being much higher on the list because they're all so close together, he's 27 yards across 6 games shy from being in the Top 15. If you want to pick and choose stats, why not look at things like being 3rd in the NFL in catches of 20+ yards or 6th in the NFL in 1st down catches? And finally, no, just no.  He doesn't look far less pro ready than Egbuka, he's just in a significantly worse situation if you're just looking for a big statistical output.  Egbuka is playing with the current front runner for MVP, in a pass happy offense, where all their other pass catchers keep getting hurt, so of course he's going to be putting up big stats.  Swap those players and T-Mac might be leading the NFL in yards right now, not to mention would have just as many TD's as Egbuka does as well.
    • How about if you don't like my choice of content, then don't click on the thread? We're discussing the NFL, not Pee-wee football. Until we start having "great" games on a continuous basis, I'm going to continue to talk all facets of the team. Moreover, I haven't seen X have a "great" game yet. Just like I supported patience last season, I have become critical this season. If it hurts your feelings, it just hurts your feelings. I've been on this board longer than most of you, and I've been a fan of the Panthers since before they stepped on the field, so don't tell me how to fan.
