Those were Thunder and Lightning refers to the dynamic running back duo of DeAngelo Williams (Thunder) and Jonathan Stewart (Lightning) who played for the Carolina Panthers. This nickname highlighted their contrasting playing styles: the yester days of Thunder and Lightning!! 

Lets hope they are as good!!!!

Chuba had just shy of 1200 rushing yards and we were still 30th in passing yards per game. The opposing defense has to fear your passer for this to come to fruition.

Yeah, we flat out need more out of Bryce and the receivers, period. The "new and improved" Bryce post-benching needs to be his new floor not the ceiling. Chuba did his part last year. Granted we had no depth behind him to help carry the load. That didn't help.

Well two things wrong here

First, they weren't Thunder and Lightning, they were Double Trouble.

And second, if they were Thunder and Lightning, Stew would absolutely have been the Thunder as he was a much more physical runner than Deangelo was.

Chuba also missed two games. The single season rushing leader in franchise history is DeAngelo Williams with 1,515 yards. Stephen Davis is second with 1,444 yards. And if Chuba had played those other two games he could have made a push for Davis's record no doubt. For all the talk of lack of weapons that's a pretty damn productive season.

Yeah, "Thunder and Lightning" were the duo for the Titans. White and Johnson maybe?

Five touchdowns, 40 points and 35 points against teams fighting for a playoff bid is the floor? So you’re thinking Tom Brady levels of efficiency? 
 

Reasonable…

No, White suggested they would be a tandem with a nickname like that and Johnson shut him down. Wasn't interested in sharing the spotlight in the backfield. I remember it because it was awkward af to watch play out.

Post benching, Bryce averaged 2104 yards with 15 TDs and 6 INTs. Over 10 games that means he averaged 210ypg. Extrapolate those numbers to 17 games and that 3577 yards with 26 TDs and 10 INTs. That would've put Bryce #22 in the NFL in passing yardage, 10th in TDs, 17th in INTs. Basically middle of the pack. Yeah, for a #1 overall pick and hopefully franchise QB that needs to be floor type play, especially given our investments in the OL and receiver corps. We've built it, it's time for him to deliver.

No. Bryce playing with confidence and actually getting it done as an NFL starting QB over an entire season is what we need. Teams are going to have more footage on him too post benching, so hopefully he responds well to the new things being thrown at him. It's just about new contract time after this season. Middle of the road performance is the thing we need least from him.

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      Then why are they paying QBs so much compared to other players? QB are making so much it's harder and harder to pay other players. If a guy plays like 1 of 11 then there pay should be in line with that. Not all QB should be breaking the bank just because your next or a former 1st rounder There is a reason they say try to win it all on a QB rookie deal because after that they can cripple a team on what it can do. I would rather not do that for a bottom 1/3 QB. Cam and Jake have been the only QBs worth investing long term into this team has had I would rather not lower the bar. If a guy don't got the IT factor and it shows I would rather not invest long term into them and keep looking

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.
