McCarron did overreact but Jones shouldn't have done what he did and McCarron shouldn't have done what he did.

I think that when you're a big fat ugly stinking guy playing in a big game which is already intense and you're trying to make the call and snap at the same time, you dont want the guy you're blocking for yelling you in your ears infront of millions of people. Id do the same thing.

I can tell you Jones isnt going to do that to a Brady, Brees, Manning etc. AJ aint one of them and he isnt a Senior.

I wonder what A.J. McCarron's draft position is going to be? Will playing with so much talent cause him to fall to the middle rounds or will his record and solid play push him into the 1st/2nd round discussion?

He aint coming out till next year.

But I think he'll be a 3-4 to later rounds. Greg McElroy IMO is better and didn't he go in like the 6th?

oh yeah i forgot about oregon.. they had that late loss to stanford...bulldogs only had one to bama i think....

lolno, bulldogs got destroyed by South Carolina, embarrassed like Notre Dame was.

Would love Warmack, especially after this game, but he definitely needs to work on his pass protection, even @ RG.

I've seen a few people say it on Twitter...

Just think. This would have been a 4peat for the Tide if it wasn't for some guy named Cam Newton.

Nah. They lost to South Carolina by 2 TDs, lost to LSU by 3 points, and then lost to Cam by 1 point that year. Wouldn't have made it to the NC even if Cam hadn't mounted that comeback.

    • Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed. 
    • We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.
    • I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
