Around the NFL

Lot of NFL is PR and bologna though.  In real time, teams often say things publicly that are different behind the scenes.  

with Bakers comments today, it wouldn’t be wild for the Panthers to just say we are trading you…..and we will be happy to put it out there you wanted out to make it not look as horrible for you and your career 

We didn’t trade him.  We released him midseason. He was unhappy he was getting benched and asked to be released which we did. Wanted a fresh start and a chance to start. He immediately got it with the Rams.

This game is setting offensive football back 50 years or so. Mahomes has turned into captain checkdown and Wilson is just yolo’ing the ball up and down the field.

The Chiefs receivers are trash and Father Time has caught Kelce. The Chiefs need to seriously re-tool at the offensive skill positions. The cupboard is empty.

Ok.  Well, same thing.  It wouldn’t be wild to tell him we are cutting you and given we created a gigantic clusterfug that is going to hurt your image…..you can say you wanted out.

To think he went nuts against the Cowboys. Then again, Caleb just had a career day against them too. Hmm.

Yeah, I think the Cowboys just suck. My Giants fan buddy told me that most of that big game was basically Russ just throwing up punt balls and WRs out dueling DBs for them. So, basically Russel Wilson's entire football career in a nutshell.

Lol you don’t think he wanted out of Carolina? I’m sure he gladly jumped on that jet out of here.

    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
    • It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
