I see nothing wrong here. Z got him with 2 elbows to the face. The ball was protected and Z got 2 elbows while doing so. ANY player would swing back on that. I am not saying that fighting is a part of this game but, there are very few that would let that slide without doing something back. Big Z, Wall and Howard deserve fines and suspensions which I am sure that they will get.

Yall so quick to throw out THUG on here. We all know that he is but, it just seems like you were sitting back waiting on something to happen to call out THUG.

If he shoved him it would have not been a big issue but he punches him during the game. Really a cheap shot too as Z was holding a ball and playing basketball and the guy just sticks him in the side instead of playing D.

Yeah, IDK, I think this is what it is. It's a physical game and these things happen. I understand Z playing tough and I also understand Wall getting pissed. Z is probably used to guys guarding him that are quite a bit taller where he elbows aren't in their face. These players are HUMANS, anyone gets a little pissed with an elbow to the face. If anything, good for Wall for sticking up for himself.

But LOL at anyone holding Z back, he could just run a rampage if he wanted too.

As in thug? No, stop that. Barkley got into many, many fights like this and I wouldn't call him a thug. Now Arenas, getting busted with guns in the locker room, THAT is what I call a thug.

Thug is not the case. This is just an example of not being very smart and having a huge ego. If you know how the NBA works, Wall should have just hit the ground holding his face and hoped for a foul. I do not stand for flopping but in this case he was clearly touched, unlike the whole Chris Bosh incident.

McGee and Howard getting involved is just another example of letting your emotions override your intelligence. The entire situation could have easily been avoided and I hope all 4 are fined and suspended for a period of time.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By CRA · Posted

      A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.

      Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.
