Rookie QB in Best Situation

NFL Total Access talking about this now.. their general breakdown consists of:

(Mayock) Jake Locker: best friend of a rookie QB is a run game, so he looks for a running game. Locker athletic, and anytime CJ2k is in backfield he has a chance. Also, points out Ponder for the same reason.

(Wilcots) Christian Ponder: above-average D, above-average line, and AP in the backfield.

(Baldy) Blaine Gabbert: sitting the bench. Able to sit behind Garrard.

then the question is asked why Cam isn't mentioned. They point to us going 2-14.

Honestly, I don't think we are that far off from the rest of those teams. Above average D, above average line, 2 thoroughbreds behind center, if our WRs step up as this fanbase thinks then we have that, the difference between '11 and '10 for me? hopefully a coaching staff who has a clue..

Those are old episodes bro, I watched that same segment last week. None of these guys will no where the carolina panthers came from this year... Isn't that the way we like it though?

hell no. I want high expectations. I don't believe in that under the radar bullshit. at some point you make it on the radar and I don't think those people can handle the spotlight..

If the media "experts" say something, it's generally a great idea to think the opposite.

truth..

The Big Cat said of last year's team..."We had the worst record but we did not have the worst players."

I agree.

The 2011 Panthers will be a better team than the media thinks...or maybe wants.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan

      I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
