I can't think of a single remake that was better than the original that I saw. The problem is they remake the classics. I know some will laugh at this, but I don't think you mess with The Longest Yard. Or Planet of the Apes. Or anything that got it right the first time. Remake something that someone effed up.

The only remake I have ever seen that was almost as good as the original was "The Elusive Pimpernel" starring David Niven as The Scarlet Pimpernel. This was a remake of "The Scarlet Pimpernal" played perfectly by Leslie Howard. "Sink Me!"

The Scarlet Pimpernel was the original James Bond and Batman rolled into one!

"The seek him here,

They seek him there,

Those Frenchies seek him everywhere!

Is he in Heaven,

or is he in H3ll

That damned elusive Pimpernel!"

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By TLGPanthersFan · Posted

      I have said if you out even an average QB into the offense we are averaging 25+ points a game. But that will never happen with Bryce under center.

      The defense is 28 out of 32 in salary cap allocation for 2025. We have a ton of resources tied up in the offense including the highest paid OL in the league multiple 1st round WR's and multiple recent draft picks across the offense at TE and RB and we have two 1000 yard backs. Bryce and company couldn't get past Tyler Shough and his crew in 2 games. That's all there is to it. You can spin it and put the entire onus on the defense to your heart's desire it doesn't change the fact that this is an OFFENSIVE team now. If you want to argue that we should revert back to a defensive identity as we have been in the past which has brought us success then I will agree with you on that. But as it stands the onus is on the offense because that is where we have invested through the nose. Dave Canales and Bryce Young need to do a hell of a lot better than they have against the rebuilding Saints who without us should only have 2 wins this season.

      Bryce is not trending up. He is the same QB he has always been. Bottom of the league in most categories.  If Canales thinks he can build a contender with Bryce then he is a bigger idiot then I thought.  Offense next year will have the same issues and be just as inconsistent as it was this year.  We have seen Bryce’a ceiling and it is 175 yards a game and that is not a QB you keep around as your starter. That is barely a backup.
