A funny thing happened on the way to the comments section of the Panthers vs. Falcons preview today

So I rolled out of bed around noon because it's Saturday, meandered downstairs, pet the cat, threw a plate of leftover london broil and garlic mashed potatoes in the microwave, mixed up some Lipton lemon iced tea, and kicked back to check on Panthers news. Same stuff on the Huddle really, SCP making funny jokes about Fua and Nakamura, another Bill Cowher thread, Stirs blindly calling people/inanimate objects "libs" in the Tinderbox. Par for the course.

Then I bounce on over to NFL.com. Turns out Javon Belcher was caught asleep at the wheel of his Bentley the night before his murder/suicide. Weird huh? I thought so. Anyway I clicked on an article about Wes Welker on the verge of catching 100 balls on the season for the fifth time in his career. Amazing what a general manager recognizing the value of the slot receiver can do for you. Hopefully we'll get someone like that. Anyway that's not what this is about. I clicked on the "Panthers versus Falcons" matchup at the top of the screen. Falcons predicted to win of course.

On a whim I scroll down to the bottom of the page and start reading the comments from comatose Falcons fans typing with their elbows about how the Panth-

wait what? what's that?

I'll refrain from a personal insult, but isn't that the guy who used to post borderline CP on here?

He's never not posted here. He's always had a user name. Before Slenderman it was Super_freak or whatever. He's had about a blue million user names.

    • Ravens mixing it up with a random Mark Andrew tush push last year isn't a similar situation.  Lamar has run QB sneaks his entire career.  And often instead of a traditional sneak will even employ a 4th and 1 direct snap to Lamar simply because of how athletic he is (which even Cam did a lot of) and let him pick his own holes.  
    • height being an issue doesn't just mean batted balls.  You could argue Bryce minimizes batted balls by adopting other poor habits such as his jump passing and leaving the pocket.   As I said, there are plays you can point to where he clearly was blind to parts of the field/players....which kills plays and opportunity. Which actually means some of the shorter/hot throws when things break down are where his vision gets blocked (and he had below average production all around the line of scrimmage).   has he figured it out? I mean, he improved off a trainwreck start.  But Bryce Young since arriving in the league (even while figuring it out)......doesn't generate much offensive production vs his peers.  I just think his ceiling is low.   And that's not in the grand scheme what you want in the NFL.  I think he can develop into a serviceable QB, that will largely always been a middle of the pack or low end starter.   
    • People make a lot of noise about his footwork and I think it is overblown. Whether he takes 3 steps backwards or 5 small steps doesn't matter as long as he ends up at the right depth and is in sync with  the receiver regarding timing. If he does that consistently who cares as long as he has a firm stable base as he delivers the ball. Which he does need to work on. However even that is somewhat overblown given that often QBs have to throw off balance or from different arm angles to fit the ball around defenders. He is considered very accurate so apparently it isn't hurting him that much.
