They just posted the Panthers 32 teams in 32 days video and Faulk doesn't think Carolina is the team to beat in the NFC South...

Yet a few weeks ago he picked them to win the division...

Hmm, nothing much changed in between these two videos save Peppers signing his tender. A little contradiction eh?

^^^^^^^^^^^

good catch!

Hah thanks. I've been waiting to see where the Panthers fell in the 32 days thing they're running and when Faulk commented saying that they weren't the team to beat I was a little confused. It's obvious they just try and pick opposing sides to an argument and this time around Faulk took the bad cop role.

it's what other teams in our division are doing. As usual, just because the Saints make some big moves that seem to be in the right direction, they get the nod.

Yea, I think it's fairly narrow-minded to think that the only way to improve your team in the offseason is to sign big name free agents and draft highly touted rookies but I'd like to argue against Faulk's reasoning that we aren't going to be the team to beat in the NFC south because "this is a quaterback driven league" and the Saints and Falcons have solid QB's. I'm certain that Carolina, Atlanta and New Orleans had the same quaterbacks last year as they will have this coming year, barring injuries, and yet the Panthers were crowned NFC south champs last season. Somehow, this season, that will make a difference?

Truth is that almost always the favorites in the division never win. Don't know why but it happens. I am glad the media is on the Saints and Birds nuts. I just love the disrespect card. Always works for us. Our players will definitely have a chip on their shoulder.

But, you know, they didn't really do much more than what they have done since Payton has been there. Hasn't worked real well either.

And the world will just have to wait to see if Matt Ryan and Mike Smith have sophomore slumps. It's usually because the other teams have figured you out, no surprises.

And no one knows about Tampa Bay. I'm not sure they even know themselves.

The Panthers broke one myth last year. The team that was last the year before was not first the next year. Almost, but being close only counts in horseshoes. We can break another one this year. Hopefully, 2 winning seasons in a row.

And no one knows what will happen with Jake's elbow this year. Will it be better than last year like the pitchers that had the surgery being better in their 2nd year? Or will it tank?

There are alot of questions this year, even after Peppers signed, even with 21 of 22 starters coming back. I can't wait! :cheers2:

"this is a quaterback driven league"

This is something a bunch of them say and it drives me nuts. Maybe they think if they repeat it enough it will be true. PUBLICITY wise in the media and for FANTASY FOOTBALL it's true. In reality, you don't need some superstar and/or first rounder who puts up a bunch of pretty numbers. Not at all.

I would say that to if Delhomme was my QB! If you repeat this enough it might be true too!:frown2:

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Yes message boards will always include that sort of stuff… However, this place has been a cess pool since the team took Bryce Young over CJ Stroud. It becomes a problem when it is accepted and promoted, which it has been here (even by at least one mod). Many posters sole purpose on this board is to try to dunk on others for having different opinions. We just had one write a novella on how talking about Bryce Young’s game winning drives “needs to stop”…after a win. They don’t want real conversation. It “needs to stop”. There are many posters here who literally only show up after losses to dead thread and try to dunk on others about the QB (MRenshaw is an easy example). I really don’t see much of that happening the other way around. There’s too many people that would rather the team be bad so they can feel justified for constant doom and gloom and negative opinions. It’s been pointed out by many over the past couple years. This just isn’t a place to have football discussions anymore because of the constant hyperbole. If you don’t subscribe to “Bryce Young is the worst QB ever who can’t throw the ball further than 5 yards and is the reason why we lose any game we lose and doesn’t help in any game we win”, then you are labeled a Bryce Young Stan.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      if you believe he is watching every NFL game.....every week.....go right ahead.  I get it, he said something you like.  But that's like believing the talking heads on the ESPN shows are watching all the games.  You think Stephen A is watching the Panthers every Sunday too?  If Stephen A needs to go on First Take he certainly can pretend like he has watched every snap any player on the roster has taken lol.   No one is that isn't a Panther fan has been watching the 9-25 career go down every Sunday.  Or even a lot of Sunday's.  You know who knows more about Bryce Young than Long? The collective huddle.  What they are reviewing is stat sheets, highlights and in summaries.  It's an old formula lol.
