Some Panther Love in from and Unexpected Place

The B.S. report.

They talk about the line between us and ATL at 16:30.

They both like us to cover/win.

Then says the Patriots (his favorite team) made a huge mistake for not trying to trade to Steve Smith. They said they could have at least offered their 1st rounder (28th) and that would have been a steal for the Pats.

Says Smitty is a Monster, and people thought that he wasn't over the hill, but he wasn't and he carried Jake Delhomme over the years, and was held back by bad QB play. Says Smitty would have been a fantastic Patriot (shudders).

Bill then says that Smith could be the most impressive player this season.

Then at 40:20 says the Panthers could still make a run at the Wild Card, and that we are the most exciting watch in football. Also, that they would be rooting for us.

Says that we have the best chance to be the upset with this weekend.

I love Simmons. He's been giving Cam love now for a few weeks, and nice to see it coming for the team as well.

Please. Simmons articles usually consist of him sucking off Brady and every team in NE.

If he would have said something like 'Cam has trouble reading defenses' or 'Cam isn't ready to be an NFL starter' you'd call him a terrible writer.

Anything coming from BSPN is garbage. Doesn't Bill Simmons blog about the AFC West? What does he know about this team? BSPN is all about jumping on bandwagons and being the first to say "i told you so". Also BSPN is told to "love" Boston teams such as the Red Sox and Pats. Their two CEOs are from Boston. That's why you'll always see Red Sox and Pats highlights on Sportscenter before anything else. It's the reason they gave a poo about the NHL playoffs last year. As for the Bobcats, no one outside of Charlotte knows they exist.

    • I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
