Interesting figure, a real leader, and he thoroughly whumped the Iraqi army, ( which at the time was the 4th largest in the world and I'm sure gave our war planners more than a few sleepless nights pondering ). I worked at a small shop directly on Market Street north of Wilmington in the months leading up to the Gulf War and for about 6 weeks straight, there was a constant procession of military vehicles heading south to the Wilminton State port and Sunny Point MOT. I had no idea we had that many tanks, hummers, APC, and etc. - the numbers I saw pass by were mind boggling. I knew we were going to war before the first shot was fired. I have to wonder what the outcome of that war would have been had another general been in charge of coalition forces.

I had the opportunity to work on the planning stages of Desert Storm going back to almost 2 years before Iraq strolled into Kuwait and precipitated the whole thing. Everyone knew it was bound to happen, the only question was when. By the time we were ready to move I was in a completely different time and place in the Persian Gulf and there was a feeling of satisfaction knowing I had something to do with the planning and getting to be there when it all went down.

I met the General some 10 years later and he signed a copy of his book for me. Still one of my library treasures.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By TLGPanthersFan · Posted

      I have said if you out even an average QB into the offense we are averaging 25+ points a game. But that will never happen with Bryce under center.

      The defense is 28 out of 32 in salary cap allocation for 2025. We have a ton of resources tied up in the offense including the highest paid OL in the league multiple 1st round WR's and multiple recent draft picks across the offense at TE and RB and we have two 1000 yard backs. Bryce and company couldn't get past Tyler Shough and his crew in 2 games. That's all there is to it. You can spin it and put the entire onus on the defense to your heart's desire it doesn't change the fact that this is an OFFENSIVE team now. If you want to argue that we should revert back to a defensive identity as we have been in the past which has brought us success then I will agree with you on that. But as it stands the onus is on the offense because that is where we have invested through the nose. Dave Canales and Bryce Young need to do a hell of a lot better than they have against the rebuilding Saints who without us should only have 2 wins this season.

      Bryce is not trending up. He is the same QB he has always been. Bottom of the league in most categories.  If Canales thinks he can build a contender with Bryce then he is a bigger idiot then I thought.  Offense next year will have the same issues and be just as inconsistent as it was this year.  We have seen Bryce’a ceiling and it is 175 yards a game and that is not a QB you keep around as your starter. That is barely a backup.
