I think a lot of LoTR fans (movie) are going to be disappointed by this. The scope of the story is nowhere near what those movies were about. The Ring was a deux ex machina for Bilbo, not some ominous portent of doom. It's going to be a lot harder to show a "fellowship" made up of a bunch of bearded midgets, without an Orlando Bloom or Viggo Mortensen in the mix (Although Orlando may make an appearance). The odd thing is that Legolas' kin are antagonists here, and in direct contrast to the drinking scene in LoTR with him and Gimli, the idea that these particular Elves like getting drunk is a major plot device in The Hobbit.

The good news is that AFAIK they are going to use Del Toros Smaug, which should be absolutely fantastic. I think they are also going to show Gandalfs work attempting to overthrough Dol Guldur which was not in the book at all, just mentioned in passing in LoTR as well as the timelines at the end of those books.

      How We All Feel About Bryce...

      There's a flip side to that, if he has 2 or 3 more great games and we make the playoffs, there's going to a tsunami of momentum to extend him going into next year. If he remains inconsistent, we will all be arguing all off season long. I think he's done enough to where he's going to at the very least, be the starter in 2026. Nothing is going to change that with 7 wins on the board at this point, even if we flame out and lose the remainder of them. We haven't won 7 games  If we win 8 games, that would be our highest win total since the 2017 season. That's very significant.

      GWD is the critical stat for an NFL QB. What you need for perspective is GWD %.  This is how many opportunities he converts. 2023 was 12.5%. 2024 was 33.3%. 2025 is 50%. Career is 28.9%. A consistent playoff winning QB is in the 30% range. A championship caliber QB is in the 40% range. He has been tracking well even with his major limitations under the development of Canales. This is the only reason he is holding on, but he is at the same level of a Derek Carr with the Raiders. Carr was 32.4% GWD in his first 3 seasons with 12 GWD in 37 opportunities. This gives you perspective on why he is frustrating to evaluate. Carr did what for the Raiders? 2 winning seasons in 9 seasons with 4 different HCs/OCs. This is what we want as Panthers fans? A decade of average with potential and many moments of hope? At least he'll win a QB skill competition like Carr, right?
