For the love of everything holy, please stop talking about "tape"

I'm not saying that you can't form an opinion. I'm simply saying that plopping down in front of your computer and watching a couple of YouTube highlights is not watching tape. I always chuckle when I read a post stating "when I put on the tape..." C'mon, we all know what you did - you watched a YouTube highlight. Stop saying it because you heard Mike Mayock or Mel Kiper say it.

Well, actually, there are videos on Youtube that have full Player vs. Team videos. That can give you a good idea. Obviously nobody here actually has access to tape but you can still evaluate a player pretty well off it.

Not all tape from youtube are hughlight videos though. I doubt that's what they're referring to. What they watched were probably cut up tapes of all the plays involving a player. It's not coaches' tape, but there is some valuable information there.

When I was 15 a buddy of mine gave me my first porno VHS tape.

One night my parents went out to eat so I put it in the VCR and began doing what 15 year olds do.

I heard a mangling sound come from the VCR, it had begun eating the tape and it was stuck inside the VCR. I then hear my parents drive up, they were home early.

I sat there all night hoping they didn't press play on the VCR. When they went to bed, I got the scissors and cut it.

Ever since that day I have had a hatred in my heart for tapes of all kind.

    • this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.  
    • The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.
    • My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
