'twas just nights before football

It's almost football season.....

Twas just nights before football, and all through the city

Every fan was dreaming of Kuechly and Smitty.

Their glass mugs were chilled in the freezer with care

Knowing that beer would soon be poured there.

The players were waiting anxiously for the start of game day

They'd been improving all summer, it was nearly time to play.

The mistakes of years past, had served as motivation,

And now they were ready to release devastation.

Ron was sitting in his office, making his final tweaks,

To get the perfect defense he so desperately seeks.

And Shula was thinking of all the weapons defenses would have to fear,

Knowing this would be far better than his time a Buccaneer.

Cam Newton was loading his mental chamber, staring in the mirror,

Looking at the face that all defenses would soon fear.

With Tedd Ginn and Smitty, Olsen and Dwill,

Cam knew that under his leadership, they could score at will.

When suddenly from a nearby hotel, a loud sound did blare,

It was little Russell Wilson awaking a nightmare.

He had dreamed of the Kraken, Star and CJ

It scared him to his very core, he did not want to stay.

While he was looking for flight back to Seattle, Coach Carol ran to his side

But instead of words of wisdom, he asked the diminutive man to hide.

For while he was resting, Petey had the same dream,

And was sobbing to himself when he heard little Russell's scream.

Pete know that last year was lucky, merely a fluke,

There was no way Marshawn was running against TD, Beason and Luke.

And while all the pundits on the TV were expecting Seattle to cruise,

Pete knew in his heart, that his Seahawks would surely lose.

Carol hugged his quarterback before he left, and kissed his cheek goodbye,

To leave back to his bedroom suite, and have a final cry.

The score was no longer his focus, he wanted merely to survive,

To keep the score close, and leave Carolina alive.

For years the Panthers have been down,heartbreak and postgame cries,

But soon all football fans will witness Carolina rise.

Betting against our Panthers, would be nothing short of treason....

Happy football to all, and to all a good season.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      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.

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

      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
