Roddy White, Tony G...I think Flacco slumps. In fact I wasn't even that impressed with him last year. He didn't lose any games but he certainly didn't win any either. Not sure the same could be said for Ryan.

These are the same reasons I think Ryan will slump and Flacco wont. Ryan has a whole lot more expected of him. He's suppose to go out and win games, not just control the game. So if Ryan doesn't go out and win games by himself it will be perceived as slumping. Flacco will be expected to manage the game just like last year, but no one's looking for him to be the next Peyton Manning or Tom Brady.

Flacco's having to face the best defense in the free world twice a year sure won't help him. It also remains to be seen what the effect is on the Ravens' defense of losing Rex Ryan. Matt Ryan has more weapons on O, but they both have good OCs. I think the Falcons' D will be better this year. I say Flacco struggles more.

Where's the neither option?

Flacco will make some reasonable progress. Ryan I don't see much room for improvement there, he didn't really play like a rookie. I think he plays about the same level and his numbers improve slightly with the addition of Gonzalez.

The question is who is more likely, not who actually will.

I still say Ryan, but it may be me being hopeful.

I can accept the fact we hope Ryan slumps big time but hoping and the reality of the situation are two different things

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Yep, the Panthers powers that be seem desperate to convince themselves he can clear the bare minimum bar of demanding a legit franchise QB contract. Canales seems to be laying the groundwork here of building the case that all of Bryce's shortcomings are still there and even more glaring than you may have thought while his strengths aren't nearly as strong as you had hoped and aren't near enough to make up for the lack of pure physical tools. When you have historically anomalous lack of measurables you need historically anomalous positive intangibles to make up for it. That was always issue with Bryce as a prospect. Like Parcells said when evaluating him, "he better walk on water".

      I'm honestly not sure how much "west coast" plays into it. There's a huge difference between Tucson, AZ and Spokane, WA where he spent the previous two decades of his career. Chapel Hill is significantly different than Spokane but way more similar to it than Tucson. You're talking about a pretty significant plane ride to get back home either way. He and his family would be flying private and direct so we're talking about a 3ish hour flight vs. a 5ish hour flight. That's basically a wash. It's not like he went from Gonzaga to another PNW program. Tucson is a dramatic departure from Washington state. Honestly a far bigger departure climatically and scenery wise than Chapel Hill would be.

      Goalie an Issue Again?

      When asked if he thought he was close to returning to game action, "When you skate just with the goalie coach, it's tough to understand what your level is. Today, Svech scored on me a couple — probably a bad moment for me. I don't know. I'm probably very far from play if he scores on me." God, I love Kucci!
