for going on Mike and Mike and setting all  these fools at ESPN straight and reminding them what the damn rules are.

Here's Carter's segment. Very thorough.

 

 

Cliff notes: basically said that due to the route Gronk was running and how it was taking hime away from the ball that the ball was uncatchable.  He said Gronk should have done a better job acting at that in the same situation, Carter would have made sure he fell down.  Also said that Gronk should have made an effort to get back to the ball.  On Brady he said that because he did not step into the throw the ball was short and led to the ball being uncatchable.  He said not only was it the right call, but it was not even a question.

Can someone post what Cris Carter said? I gotta go. Video or audio or just a wrap up, it don't matter.

He needs to go to NFLN and set those folks straight. It's clear to see all they do is show up and get paid to tow the ESPN/NFLN line.

 

That female host, I swear she hangs on Brady's manhood. He and the Pats can't do no wrong in her eyes and she will let it be known. These are the folks we depend on to bring us sports news with some OBJECTIVITY!! sheesh

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

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

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
