Official Gameday Thread: Bucs @ Panthers


The Other Colbert

Recommended Posts

Cam Newton is just 18 yards shy of Peyton Manning’s rookie passing record, but while his passing and rushing skills have surpassed expectations, he still has not mastered the emotional repression required to succeed in the N.F.L. Luckily, the veteran linemen Jordan Gross and Ryan Kalil are giving him lessons in personality suppression. “I have a bad tendency of showing my emotions on my face,” Newton said Wednesday. “I have to change it, and I’m trying to change it. At the quarterback position, you need to stay even-keeled.” Soon, all elements of Newton’s humanity will be airbrushed away, and he will become like the other quarterbots, unwilling and incapable of expressing disappointment or doubt, and only feeling pleasure and pride during the few seconds he is hoisting the Lombardi Trophy. Do not worry, Cam: the assimilation is mostly painless, and your personality grows back about a decade after retirement. Pick: Panthers

R.J. Stanford will start at CB in place of Captain Munnerlyn who was placed on IR Friday.

Meh at Stanford.

Bucs will be missing both starting DTs -- Haynesworth and Price are inactive. Roy Miller and Frank Okam will start.

    • This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one. 
    • I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question. 
    • Same thing I first thought but then I saw it was against Jacksonville and took about half a second of playing to know. I was at that game.  I can't tell you my level of excitement when I saw it was Delhomme instead of Peete who came out for the 2nd half. Delhomme has and will probably always be my favorite Panther.
