Reporting from Tampa

Recommended Posts

Big thunderstorms last night continuing today. Field should be soaked.

Lots of Buc optimism in the local papers predicting a 10+ point victory.

Haven't seen a Buc logo on a hat, shirt or car yet.

Stopped by the hotel that the panthers are staying at. All seemed to be in great spirits and enjoying themselves. Spoke to a few personell who said the week in Tampa was like another camp in terms of chemistry development.

There were some Panthers fans outside the hotel looking for autographs.

Ug it bothers me that it is raining. Normally I'd welcome it but for the very first game I really wanted to see everyone clearly and not have the 'rain' to blame. I hope it is somewhat clear gametime.

50% at game time.

Luckily there won't be a storm that will rival the jags game last year. Nothing new for our guys.

But, the rain could decrease the amount of Tampa fans while not deterring the Carolina fans who paid much more to be there considering travel.

    • It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.   
    • We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.
    • I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
