First Take 11/11/13 Carolina vs San Fran


Dex

They talk for 4 minutes about it. Stephen loves us and Skip loves our D but isn't completely sold.

 

Stephen says "elite" and "legit" at least 4 times each.

Skip said 49ers would have won with Vernon.
 
Here's the video. Ends around 1:00.00 starts around 56:00.

Good stuff Dex,

It kills me how Skip and other media outlets make excuses and say San. Fran would have won if ......

San Fran would have won if this person would have been playing......

Injuries are part of the game we have lost our first and second team guards yet we don't make excuses about starting a defensive tackle at guard.

Bayless is clueless.  ""somehow he comes from his linebacker position and breaks this up"  Watch the damn film.  That is because he had him right away.  And NO Davis doesn't come down with that ball because Kuechly breaks it up the same way.

 

I hate when they say what ifs because someone got hurt.   Well if they had a real ref that wasn't in the back pocket of the Niners  Davis fumbles the football and Carolina recovers.

No offense to the OP, but stories that include the phrase "Skip Bayless said" just don't register well with me.

Well from now on I'll run all my Panther related threads by you before I post. Sorry for the trouble I caused.

It's not their job to watch film. This leads to shoddy journalism and over generalizations more often than not. The sports casting world will know a lot more on November 19th if we are able to pull it out just because everyone will have access to the game. That said, he is right about Kuechly.

I have a feeling that was a blown coverage and Kuechly recognized the call as soon as he saw the tight end split the seam. Something went wrong in the pre snap call and there wasn't going to be a safety there which Kuechly recognized almost immediately.

That's not based on anything other than how the play unfolded and how unscripted it seemed to be that Kuechly was 30 yards down field with no safety within 5 yards.

Don't bash me for this interpretation because that's all it is, an interpretation, I could be wrong.

    • Great point.    I would lke to add that there is another QB on the roster who was terrible over the middle--Kenny Pickett.  
    • I don't think this is the year for Carolina, unfortunately.  I think they will have to make a decision on the QB position-all we know is that Bryce has year 5, but a long term deal has not been signed--yet--and they would be smart to take a "wait and see" approach.  I have not kept up, and I see a path to upside for Bryce, but I do not think we have aggressively pursued a QB when our QB was mediocre to worse than mediocre.  yes, his numbers are improving--but he has adapted by eliminating what he does poorly and not improving on what he does poorly.  Just my take and I have no data to support this view.   Basically, we go as Bryce goes, so the approach is not to bring in a QB to have him compete until we find one, but it is to make Bryce as good as he can be--is that good enough? Season ticket holders buy the hope of winning rings, not winning 8 games. Last year, Bryce had a resurgence.  Take away TMac and Rico Dowdle.  How good was he?  I still have hope.  Not a hater of plan A, but a hater because we have no plan B.
    • Yeah man, I've been here for a very very long time. Couldn't even begin to tell you what year. Maybe 2004 or 5? I've never really been super active, just enjoy reading everyone's opinions and discussions. I'll chime in from time to time. I have had a few different accounts over the years. It's always been a fun place for me to check in on my favorite team. Hopefully we can keep the place running for a long while still. I also would like to recommend bringing back the Lovely Ladies page!
