I got accpeted to UNC but decided to go to Johnson & Wales in Charleston insted. So I get to bitch.

Ive got to keep bringing up that Im glad we drafted Henderson. Grant Hill was one of my favorite players in NBA for a long time. My uncle rescued Christian Laettner when his jet ski ran out of gas in Emerald Isle about 15 years ago. He could have left him for dead, I would have. I doubt anybody would have notcied.

For those people crying about why was Hansbrough in the game that late with that kinda lead. Why was Henderson on the floor? I mean the game was over wasnt it? Why not have in the rest of the scrubs?

Im as big of a Carolina homer as they come but we are talking about the NBA, not Henderson getting a transfer to Carolina. IM STOAKED THEY DRAFTED HIM!

Agreed, you're alliance to the school should be strong, but if you pull for a pro team. You cheer your players, if they draft a duke player so what. They felt like he was the best player at that spot for what they needed.

I think he will end up being one of the 10 best players taken in this draft. So I'm glad they picked him.

I will also be watching some pacer games just to see how Hansbrough does. Not cheering, but I'll watch and wish him great success. Unless the Pacers are playing the Cats.

People that are complaining about this because he's a duke player are just as bad as those that complained about the Bobcats drafting Heels.

No this isn't even close to the same. The Bobs drafted Heels because they thought it was cute and would bring in fans. They passed on opportunities at better players to take Felton and May, both players that looked like crap until Felton improved to be an adequate player last year.

No one that is bitching about the Henderson pick is talking about Henderson's physical flaws or game inadequacies. That should tell you all that you need to know.

BTW, in five years, the best ACC player out of this draft will be James Johnson.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
