Has screaming turned to laughing for you yet?

I didn't flinch when they took the lead. You could tell what would happen:

1. Panthers finally get a 1st down, march down the field like nothing

2. Stop the Cowboys, I think they got a 3 and out? (they've done this a lot)

3. Have a chance to put the other team in a huge bind, or go up by 4 which is still good, instead, they go 3 and out

4. Romo starts with decent field position, kicks a FG

5. Gameover

The entire NFL knows that the Panthers will not win with the ball in their hands and they will always surrender a last drive.

It turned to laughing for me when we let Matt Ryan throw the 50 yard pass out of his own endzone. I've been laughing at this team ever since.

I was really shocked and upset at first cursing out Naka and Hurney. By the end of the game I was laughing. I have had no expectations period since that one play. That was just a season killing play for me.

    • 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.
