Jets to cut Tebow...could there be a place a the Panthers's roster?


Recommended Posts

Also during his 2011 playoff season, he had the worst Completion percentage and a terrible QB ranking.

The broncos won despite The Golden Calf of Bristol

the broncos' 2011 run and playoff victory over the steelers was really something to watch. i'll be the first to admit.

but winning your division at 8-8 with a starting quarterback who completes 46% of his passes and has mechanics that are put to shame by middle aged weekend warriors at the local park isn't something that you can depend on.

^ LSU fan.. So you're saying 12,232 total yards of offense and 145 total touchdowns is the product of an offensive scheme? OK buddy. Let me know when a player even gets close to that amount of production.

A three year starter in that kind of offense should put up crazy numbers. You know who else rode the Urban Meyer wave? David Carr. How did he turn out? I'm not saying he has zero talent, I'm saying he's a system QB. His success with the Broncos was due to the defense, and the level of competition they faced. An extremely sub-par Patriots defense made him look like he doesn't belong in the league. The times he played downs for the Jets, it was a joke. He may go down as the greatest college QB ever, sure, but that doesn't equal NFL success. He's like the Tyler Hansbrough of the NFL.

the steelers kinda burnt themselves that game. they completely sold out on the run, left man coverage on the outside with one or none safeties over the top. it was a fluke win for The Golden Calf of Bristol's broncos.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
