A feel good thread on an awesome Sunday...plus, I haven't made a thread in a while so anyhoo:

 

Who are you most excited about this coming season?

 

 

 

 

For me?...this guy:

 

20130108_mjr_su5_017.0_standard_352.0.jp

 

I just think the piece he fits into is crucial in the type of offense we want to build around Cam.  

 

If we are working toward having a balanced yet dynamic offense, this is the type of player that can really excel.  I think Tolbert takes more of a backseat/primarily goal line/short down role.  Plus, if Stewart or DeAngelo happen to miss a game or two, he will get substantial playing time.  

 

Honestly, I think getting essentially a scat-back was just as vital as having a 4th receiving option behind Smitty, Olsen, and LaFell.  Beyond them, it was Louis Murphy with 25 receptions out of Cam's combined 280 completions.  Tolbert had more receptions than our 4th receiving option and I see Barner moving into that role.   

 

Beyond the team, this is the player I'm really hoping can do well.  It will help our offense out tremendously and limit our 3rd downs or at least shorten them and help us close out games.    

 

 

 

 

Honorable Mentions: Frank Alexander's 2nd year, Kuechly and Cam becoming THE leaders of this team, Amini 

 

Oh I'm actually buying the Armanti hype.  Year 4 baby.

There are several potential standouts for me: Kenjon Barner, Robert Lester, Star and Kawaan, among them. Of the vets, I'm eager to see the attitude Mike Mitchell and Drayton Florence will bring the the backfield. I also think this will be a breakout year for LaFell, and that we'll see a credible special teams group for the first time in a long time.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By fanpanther · Posted

      the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
