Cam Newton vs Christian Ponder

Looks like we get to face another rookie QB in two weeks (well, third since we got Dalton in the pre-season but whatever).

Hopefully Cam will ball early which forces Ponder to win with his arm instead of letting AP run all over us.

Now we just need Matt Hasselbeck to get benched or hurt for Jake Locker...

That's the game you pick? One where the other running back is one of the best in the league and can single handidly dominate a game? One where their best strength is matched up against our biggest weakness?

They might rename the stadium after the day AP has.

I retract my win.....dang.

Steve Hutchinson will make Fua his little bitch boy and AP will rush for 298.

Any team with a pulse, a running back, and an offensive line scares the bejesus out of me.

Our defense is on the level of a mediocre SEC team right now.

TRD is right. Panthers are gonna have to go up big early to avoid getting thrashed by by Peterson. I could easily see him having 120 yards and 3 touchdowns.

I do think we'll beat the Skins this Sunday.

secondary isn't bad, the LBs are playing average, but the DTackles are terrible. I find it hard to believe that there aren't better players available than Fua/McClain

The only games we can win now are versus rookie QBs? Man has the tune changed around here in the past 2 or 3 weeks. After the Jags game the NFL was officially put on notice and now we look foward to games where rookies are starting for any chnace of a 'W'. I'm certainly glad work has been too busy lately for me to watch the bandwagon fall apart week-by-week.

I'm available. Been making sales calls for the last 14 years, but I can slap on the pads and take up a double team.

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
