Yeah, that's a sad situation over there... for 5 of the last 6 years we've had a Belarussian girl (she's 14 now) come and stay with us for 6 weeks in the summer... she gets away from the area, gets better food, medical and dental care here, it's pretty cool. They are great people. They've told us that the children that are able to get out of country for just those 6 weeks a year add years to their lives.

Uh, aren't you Ukranian, ARSEN?

Yes, Yes I am and I'm proud of it. :D

My mom tells me about Chernobyl all the time. I don't remember because I was 1 month old. But she said she grabbed me and left for another country away from radiation cloud. I was like 500-700 miles away from Chernobyl and I got super lucky the wind blew away from where I were. More than 100,000 people died directly and its expected close to 100,000 more to die indirectly because of this accident. My grandpa died of leukemia. Doctors said that he was exposed to too much radiation not sure if Chernobyl related.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
