Oh I for sure did in that thread. Look at the date though: that was right after beating the Falcons 30-0. What do you think was happening in a bunch of other threads? Do you think that the haters were in other threads giving Bryce his flowers or were they doing their best to try and say it was because Penix sucks? You got me doing that in one thread. Now how many threads has frankw done that in? If it's really equal then it shouldn't be more than one or two, correct?

Oh I for sure went into a thread where folks were talking poo about Bryce after a win to troll them about CJ the same way they try to troll about Bryce after every game. It's not like I hadn't made good faith attempts to engage previously. Let's call a spade a spade here: Bryce haters are convinced that there is nothing he can do to ever be an NFL QB because he's too small. Bryce "stans" see that the kid can play despite his physical limitations and that the team around him is still being put together. Only one of these groups is pretending that they know the future. If the best effort I'm going to get from folks is trolling then... well... that's all they're going to get. Sucks, because I'd love to have an actual conversation, but that requires the other side to want to have a conversation as well. I could take some accountability I suppose... but I'll follow the lead of others and say that it's because the team isn't good and not because of conscious choices I'm making.

"If only Bryce were <height>", he'd <insert stupid thing here>" was the bit and in direct response to multiple posters ridiculously blaming Bryce (and only Bryce) for the punt returns vs. New England. :3 I understand that folks desire balance, hence the "Bryce stans vs. Bryce haters" narrative but it's abundantly clear that the only people going into threads just to talk about Bryce are the haters. Meanwhile, daring to disagree that Bryce was completely at fault for something that happened on special teams gets the "stan" label. Shoot, I'm sure folks lump me in as a Bryce stan (Brycen stan? Absolutely. Bryce stan? Nah) just because I have the audacity to look at what the rest of the team is and isn't doing.

iirc didn't he admit that the Panthers won the vote but he was giving it to the Chargers anyways? He was never the same afterwards

He graded out better last year as well. With BC doing well as a starter in Hunt's place, if DLew has durability issues as the season goes on I can see the team looking to move on from his contract to retain BC. Hunt's out isn't until after next season, but after this season cutting DLew would save ~$9M iirc. Personally, I'd love to keep all three while they're still operating under Bryce's rookie deal.

Pointing out that Bryce has had 8 GWDs and he wasn't the reason that the team had to comeback (sans vs. MIA) triggered... this? Ooh wee mayne.

To be fair, while not having Jaycee follow their best receiver seems foolish he does essentially eliminate 1/3 of the field which does make things easier for the defense as well.

<insert obligatory whining about PFF here>

The world owes you many thanks for how much that entire uniform contest broke Dave Dameshek.

He reviews the games every week on his podcast with Nate Collins. Lemme know which banking app you want to to send me that dollar on.

Maaaaaan... Jimmy's got a different type of speed that the offense has needed for a few seasons now. The sooner he can win the trust of the coaches, the better.

When I saw folks last week saying that they were afraid they would die before the Panthers made it to the Super Bowl again and it's all Bryce's fault, I knew that some of them had entered territory where therapy is their only hope.

Sucks for Wilson. Good for the Panthers tho!

CRA... Are you really claiming that it is blasphemous to point out that Bryce has half as many GWDs as previous Panthers' QBs (a simple fact that doesn't detract from Cam nor Jake)? Who are we allowed to compare his stats to then? Keith Null? Does this also mean that you and others will stop trying to compare Cam, Aiden O'Connell, and other QBs to Bryce? That's beyond ridiculous, but seeing as you're still saying we're behind in every game because of Bryce after just establishing that the only GWD where Bryce was at fault for putting the team behind (MIA) I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. Disappointed, sure, but not surprised.
