Fluky things happen every single week in the NFL. When they happen in week one though, they can be especially deceiving since that one game is all you have to go by.

When week two rolls around, the flukes from week one tend to correct themselves and you start to get a better idea of who's for real and who isn't, but even then it's still a small sample.

Did the Steelers and Falcons really suddenly turn to crap? Are the Bills and Texans really as good as they looked? We'll see, but it'll take some time.

My only real concern is hoping that the Panthers weren't one of those "fluky things".

Yes, because one week into the season tell us everything we need to know.

I'd bet good money the Falcons end up with more wins than the Raiders. My thoughts haven't really changed regarding either. The Falcons still win between 9 and 11 and the Raiders still lose that many.

We aren't talking about records though right? Because records don't show how good a team is right?

The Raiders are better than you think and will be a tough game for anyone.

I guarantee no one looks forward to playing the Chargers.

We would be complaining about more than looking forward to the season. We wouldn't be subtly optimistic about a game against the defending champs.
That's for certain.....as far as how this team would look now, who knows? Nobody has been able to determine the amount of influence the head coach and Jerry have on Hurney's draft strategy. Maybe Newton would have been picked regardless, but who knows? At this point I hardly care....Rivera has my full attention and I probably pay the least attention to the AFC West and South overall. Just not interested.

DPantherman is one of the better young posters on this board.

Whether you agree with him or not, his point of view is a valid one.

Just because he's a good poster doesnt mean he is right. This forum is all things carolina football, and if I wanna talk past present or future carolina football, then I will.

Thanks Mr. Scot, and Dpantherman

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Yards a game works better over a longer period of time as well. Averages always work out over the long run. The smaller the sample size the easier it is to skew. Also opponents matter more when the size is small. Player 1 lights up 2 bad defenses in 4 starts vs Player 2 playing 10 games vs multiple defenses. It hard to make it apples to apples how it currently sits. Remember during Bryce’s little run last year how annoyed you were when people were pulling Bryce’s starts from week 9 on vs the whole season.

      Someone else claimed I said EVERY.  Literally in my post breaking it down it gave Bryce TDs per game.   Shough however has the majority in his favor if just looking at starts. whats subjective about comp %, yards, QB ratings and turnovers?  Now I guess the argument one might make off them could be subjective.  But all I’m saying is statistically as a starter he has been better this year overall.  I don’t think Shough is great.  I think he is impressive based on the situation.  2nd rounder stepping in on a bad team.   And he like so many other QBs…..serves as little red flag going off about what we are doing here offensively.

      Player A - 2 starts.  200 yards in each start. He averages 200 yards a game.  Player B - 1 start.  Throws for 400 yards.  Comes in another random game and has 1 pass attempt on a Hail Mary to end the game that goes incomplete.   Now given the random game he appeared for a snap, he averages 200 yards a game. Thats why you isolate starts. If you are talking starter vs someone who began as a backup.  Simple made up numbers/situations to illustrate the point.
