Winning friends and influencing people...

So I'm on the air Saturday afternoon at the radio station I work for (WKXB Jammin' 99.9), waiting for the UNC-Wake Forest rain delay to be over, and the new guy who is on the air at one of our sister station comes in and says he's a big fan of college FB. I say I like it too, but I prefer NFL - more specifically, Panthers NFL FB. He informs me he's a Saints* fan...

...and I told him to get out of my studio. I should've know, as his station is the one in our group that plays stuff like Justin Beiber. I'm plotting now to find a way to knock him off the air.

I had a similar situation Wednesday... Really nice guy I talk to sometimes at the gym, and we were talking and he says, "who you got in the game tonight?". So I proceeded to inform him of how Dallas sucks... Turns out he's a big Dallas fan...

Really surprised me that he's a Cowgirls fan being such a nice, normal fellow....

I can't stand seeing so many Saints* fans in California. All of them are from the Katrina/Brees era. Every time I see one I just have to call them out about supporting bountygate and being a bandwagoner.

Almost got into a fight with a lady at work the other day because she didn't know poo.

    • We both know there's more that goes into batted passes than just the height of the QB. Most people here have readily acknowledged this and there were numerous discussions about it before we drafted Young. But if you are presenting a POV that Bryce's height hasn't tied to issues with his footwork then there's nothing anyone is going to be able to say to sway you and you know this. Even beyond the footwork I recall a redzone play where Bryce couldn't see around his right tackle at all where a receiver was waiting practically alone in the end zone for a touchdown. There are real world circumstances that are going to show up over the course of the upcoming season and it's up to Bryce and Dave Canales to make adjustments and do anything they can to mitigate negative instances and yes that begins with Bryce's footwork again. Thanks for your time. Have a nice weekend.
    • I'm arguing that should those supposed deficiencies, like height or pocket footwork, be as consequential as you and others have claimed, then there would be a clear, observable impact in the data. That's not unreasonable. For example, batted passes are often used as a size-related concern (see: Baker Mayfield), yet Bryce ranked among the lowest in deflections at the line. If his stature is such a limitation, why isn't it showing up there? Or are you suggesting that's why his passing yards fall short of your expectations? If the latter, I would hope that you're not discounting yards left on the field due to drops (of which he led the league in).  Also, asking for specific, measurable benchmarks isn't aggression... it's accountability. If that feels uncomfortable, it might be worth reflecting on how much of your anti-Bryce argument is grounded in subjective perception rather than objective metrics. So, again: do you have any specific KPIs beyond total passing yardage, height, and weight that you consider relevant to evaluating whether a QB is top-10? If you want to add YPA and passing yards per game to those metrics, that's fair, just be clear about it. But let's not pretend that asking for clarity is some kind of provocation. I'm simply trying to understand the actual criteria... not just the vibes.
    • Jackson actually played quite well for a #2 CB #54 in PFF coverage ratings 12 pass break ups solid in run defense..... Hes gonna be targeted just because Jacyee IS being avoided.
