So No More Panthers Pie?


Recommended Posts

yeah the repped post stuff isn't very effective.

it's interesting how a network of reputation-building can actually lend a personalized feel to a very impersonal web-based discussion. there are senses of friendship and camaraderie that actually build on the admittedly silly concept of "just a bunch of green internet dots." rep and pie add a greater sense of belonging in a community so that users are more than just a couple of avatars and opinions. there is a greater sense of involvement and holistic participation that i feel the huddle has lost just in the last couple of days.

and i hate using words like holistic.

my suggesting is everyone get a notepad and a pencil every time you get on the huddle and every time someone likes your post the quote it and say "pi" then you tally it down on your notepad. I just give myself mental pi on all of my posts and couldn't care less what others think. But I understand for some, an ego boost here or there is their whole reason for the Huddle.

there is also virtually no point to rep as it stands currently. there is no instantly calculable parallel between a good post and the advance in reputation. the numbers are simply too high, and the only way to access it is by viewing an individual profile and nobody is going to bother with that.

i always scoffed at the saints and falcons message boards because they had this same sort of generic personality. i'll still post here as this place has its collective fingers on the pulse of the panthers franchise and is a great source of information, but by fanaticism in checking for updates is starting to lean only towards getting those updates and less in enjoying aspects of participation.

i think i'm gonna go get a life instead

    • I'd edited to be more clear where he was ahead of league average, but realize it was easily missed, sorry.  I do hope he falls off a cliff production wise because if he actually continues at this pace it's highly likely the TDs come and then he'll be a real problem. Anyway, to the stats... Shough is substantially better than the average in completion percentage, YPG, and INT% (68% vs 64.4% and 237 vs 215 and 1.7 vs 2.2). He is pretty close to the average in Y/A (7.14 vs 7.1) and rating (91.63 vs 91.8). He is a bit below the average in TDs per game (1.3 vs ~1.5, which is hard to average exactly due to the number of players that are part of this stat), QBR (51.54 vs 54.7) and quite a bit below in TD% (3% vs 4.7%). In advanced stats, he's above the league average in intended air yards/attempt (8.1 v 7.7) and on target % (76.8 vs 74.6), while barely below is in bad throw % (16.1 vs 16.0). This jives with what I've seen - decent young player, playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter, on a bad team. I've always said (and this is true of Bryce too, I even mentioned it this year) that I am less concerned with 30+ yard bombs than consistency at 15+ yards, because you need to be able to threaten past the sticks. Shough is doing that. Vs us in week 15 he had ~one third of his passes 15ish or more yards and he was money on them, and that wasn't really an exception, he has had some nice throws outside of that.  All that said, dude is just super new to the league, and once film gets out, if he does have limitations they will be exploited. No way he can get OROTY. And thanks for the kind words - I am prone to hyperbole at times, but I'm also just impressed by Shough. We'll see if he can keep it up (I hope not, unless the Saints randomly trade him lol)
    • To be fair, going from 2 wins, to 5 wins, to 8 wins at least is a pretty big positive no matter how insufferably miserable a select handful in this group want to make everything.
    • Yeah Moore is definitely going to be a problem.  I remember he was the favorite for our job at one point in time.
