I think the biggest problem was the fact that they didn't know if it would make landfall as a cat 3 or not. It was either going to get big between FL and NC or it was going to start to diminish in strength. They said wtf and called for a larger storm.

some of the death's here were more stupidity related than hurricane related. a co-worker told me this morning that one was a guy who decided to go swimming in the cape fear during the storm. another was considered hurricane related but it was really more medical. the guy had a heart attack while boarding up his house.

Oh yeah... people that live in low lying areas or flood prone areas should always be prepared even for small storms. My problem is that the media so overblew this storm that was supposed to affect "30 million people" and all that do the public a disservice by spreading that type of hype and over-dramatization.

I agree that the media did over do it a bit, but humans have a "pics or it didn't happen" mentality. Better be to safe than sorry, just imagine if more people had stayed in certain ares and had been killed because they were not told to leave? I don't really have a with the media coverage or the Government precautions.

      Are you arguing that his height deficiencies and footwork within the pocket have not been a present issue clearly seen on his game tape particularly in the games he struggled in? Because that's simply denying what everyone in this fanbase who have watched the games have seen. It's interesting how hardline BY fans here quickly and effortlessly pivot from whailing about being victimized to becoming the aggressor and hurling out allegations of bias and hatred. And at the end of the day while Bryce Young clearly improved significantly from the first two games of the season the reality of the situation is he still finished 42nd in yards per pass attempt behind Mac Jones and tied with Caleb Williams and 38th in passing yards per game behind the likes of Gardner Minshew Aidan O'Connell Drake Maye and Will Levis. Furthermore it took Bryce Young 23 games to surpass Panthers legend Kyle Allen's 13 games worth of passing yardage in 2019. So if your argument is he became a head and shoulders better passer over the course of the second half of the season the reality is we're still waiting to see that growth this season. And there is nothing controversial or vitriolic about saying so from the mind of a rational observer.

      Cam regularly threw for less than 200 yards and nobody questioned he was elite. He averaged 219 yds per game for his career.  You seem to be way too hung up on yards as a stat.  By that definition Jameis Winston should have been MVP by now.
