I dont think he should be banned...and here is why (not that anyone cares what I think...but still)

People complain that he derails threads, but what really derails threads are the replies to his posts. If the same people already believe that he is a troll, why do they fall into the perceived trap of replying, and continue the nonsensical banter?

If anyone derails threads, it would be the people who let their own ego get the better of them and argue with the guy about whatever he (or some of the other trolls) might say.

As was mentioned this is the largest forum for Panthers discussion on the net, and yet although many would like to believe it is a place where football discussion can happen, more often than not most of the conversation here leaves logic and discussion behind for quippy one liner, herp durp, say wut type middle school antics or otherwise simply posting of obnoxious pictures as a reply to something that although may not have been the most well-informed statement or a differing opinion, was an attempt to discuss some given topic.

Trolls are only a problem if others get wrapped up in their web..but more than trolls, the larger threat to REAL discussion is the immaturity level, and its at the point where many folks seem to view the forum as more like their mothers basement where beavis and butthead type exchanges are posted and actually acceptable rather than a discussion forum for the team most of us love.

Go Panthers~~

TRD is a better poster than 90% of this board. Don't believe me just look at how long this thread is.

Everyone just hates him because he is better at trolling than they are, because lets be honest, half of you guys troll the poo out of TRD but get pissed because he usually gets the better of you.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
