I really don't care too much for these race based movies. They usually end up demonizing white people.

Well I can tell you if I went to Vietnam or Korea I wouldn't see a bunch of white people there. Xenophobia is a normal human/animal trait. He can brainwash someone else with his one world vision.

Any society with racial diversity will have racial issues. That's because each of the races have unique aspects about their abilities, appearance, beliefs, etc. They can of course vary but there is always more common traits in each race. The higher ups try to deny this because inevitable more negative traits will be called out on. They'll never have an answer for the positive traits though. Jews are more intelligent than any other race and any study will show that. It will always show that. There could be 100 Jews in the world and they'd still win Nobel prizes in science. Now if I say Jews are greedy and masters of usury I'll be called a bigot. Acknowledge that they have higher intellect and I'll just be ignored.

I also laugh at his celebratory film of the terrorist Nelson Mandela. Of course he wouldn't make a movie about how black South Africans kill white South African farmers in the South Africa Mandela help build. He also wouldn't dare speak of Mandela singing songs about killing white people (which you can easily find on youtube) since he's a coward and your typical Hollywood phony. No, instead he makes a movie with the uber liberal Matt Damon praising the great black people who only suffer and never are in the wrong themselves.

I like Letters from Iwo Jima but then again, as he apparently is, I'm a big fan of Japanese people and not just the present ones. Plenty of heroes on their side in WW2.

I was under the impression it was a comedy.

Some funny moments, but definitely not a comedy. Basically, its about an old bigoted Korean war vet who grudgingly befriends a Hmong (from Vietnam or Laos I think) family that lives next door to him and assist them in a struggle with a street gang.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Icege · Posted

      I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.

      Just to be clear: I'm not "downplaying" the talent around Bryce... I'm qualifying it. There's a big difference between saying, "we finally have building blocks that we're actually developing" and "we've done enough to say this is a finished product, NO EXCUSES!" It's possible to believe that the 2023 situation was bad and to believe that the current state, while improved, is still incomplete. That's not inconsistency; that's nuance. As for the footwork stuff, again, I've seen the same clips as others. The claim that Bryce is hopping to see over the line just isn't one I've seen corroborated by analysts or tape breakdown. "Both feet off of the ground to throw" happens a ton for QBs (ex: Mahomes, Rodgers, Purdy, etc.), especially when improvising. You're right that there were some encouraging flashes from Bryce last season, and it's nice to finally hear that after so much time was spent pretending otherwise. I'm not arguing that Bryce is elite, I'm just asking that we evaluate him using consistent, measurable criteria to determine his status as a top-10 QB... whether it's via 3rd down %, red zone efficiency, turnover-worthy plays, or yes, big-time throws (which, by the way, has been a valid part of QB evaluation across the league for years even if it wasn't used here during Kyle Allen or Teddy Bridgewater's years. For reference: Allen had 20 BTT at a 3.9% rate. Teddy had 17 BTT at 3.3%). Like you, I'm hoping to see a competent, entertaining offense this season. That's a baseline we can all root for, even if we don't have the same baseline for what makes a QB top-10 (which, to be fair, is what this conversation has been about... though I respect the attempt to reframe it).

      [PFF] Tetairoa McMillan Will Unlock Bryce Young and the Panthers Offense!

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I am optimistic that we might be on the verge of fielding a sustainable offense finally. The Bryce stats listed above are definitely encouraging. I don’t want to overly inflate this and disregard the previous 1 and a half seasons of production from Bryce and “cherry pick” stats but do hope the benching turns into an inflection point in his trajectory.      Lots of excitement heading into this season.
