Panthers were the only team to interview him are you willing to believe tepper is smarter than the rest of the league?

When a first year coordinator leads a team with Evans and Godwin to twentieth in points and 23rd in total yards, in the dogshit nfc south including a 9 point explosion in a must win game against the panthers….well you gotta jump on that.

obviously CJ Stroud probably isn't having the 2nd or 3rd best season for a rookie QB ever if he comes to Carolina. However, he undoubtedly performs better than the 2nd worst season for a rookie qb in the modern era. Josh Rosen, Bryce says thanks. Additionally, you have a qb who mechanically and physically looks the part far more than Bryce does. This is a contentious point because for some reason Bryce defenders think offensive line play effects every single part of Bryce's terrible arm, mechanics, consistency, and throwing motion, even though all these problems were evident at Alabama.

he's insecure as poo and he's going to show up in a muscle suit to interview mike vrabel like George Michael

honestly an overpriced craft pizza "experience" was probably ahead of its time in Charlotte, when it opened. today in charlotte, if you opened an expensive pizza joint that did some craft beers, "pizza artists," some cocktail mixologists, and uh i don't know a dog friendly indoors area with some places to take IG photos they'd have a line out the door. Morgan was ahead of his time imo

no but arthur smith is and that's the exact direction the panthers need to go if vrabel is available and they don't pull the trigger i don't know man. I don't know. Gotta think Morgan is vouching for him. Hell, vrabel scored a TD in front of Dan in the Super Bowl. God damn this play can't be guarded in man. Look at Peppers accidentally picking Al Wallace. And this was before offensive pass interference, er, pick plays, became the norm

becaues this is just a fuging game for a couple of rich freaks who don't relate to reality like you or I do because of the excesses of late stage capitalism

like i've said in multiple threads, it makes no sense someone who played linebacker in the NFL would think Bryce could work. If Suleiman really did push for Bryce, and Morgan was like "lol. lmao" then its time to pay the piper.

Oh he’s absolutely not big enough for tennis. All your top male players would dwarf him. Maybe in like the eighties. Topspin make a tennis ball very heavy. You have to have enough body mass to absorb it and hit it back. It’s why even like half drunk male country club pros can beat top ranked females; the ball they hit is just too heavy. It’s also the reason Pete Sampras serve was so deadly; it felt like a brick hitting your racquet. My dad played with Pete and Agassi at a pro - am Charlotte racquet club in like 1991. It was just a hit and giggle fundraiser but he said Sampras knocked his racquet out of his hand until he got used to it. But yeah those dudes are huge now. I was a decently ranked junior tennis player until it turned out my height in sixth grade was as tall as I was going to get. ask me about drawing John Isner at sectionals and him being like six foot twenty in eighth grade. He blew me off the court.

wow saints legend dan morgan

Worse than the Sean Gilbert trade.

these are unrealistic individually and contradictory when done together. bryce managed to eat himself to 200 for the combine, but he didn't throw and there were reports he was playing his last year at Alabama at 165. He has a very slight frame, and there's a limit to how much someone can realistically put on their body. And it's not like he was playing at a D3 school; Alabama knows what they're doing in S&C. Now there is some thought that Alabama doesn't let their QBs lift weights that much, but that might ahve just been an excuse for why mac jones looked like poo. Obviously Jalen Hurts was lifting. But even if he puts on 10 pounds of pure muscle (more than 10% of his likely bodymass) he's still going to be undersized. And the only thing that he was good at this year was scrambling. you change his body comp, you're going to lose that. And then at the same time if you're doing all that, that's not the ideal thing to do if you're trying to work on his throwing motion and footwork. You dont want to substantially change his body composition while changing all his footwork and throwing motion. And frankly if the number 1 overall pick is a qb who needs his footwork and throwing motion completely changed...well...he shouldn't have been the number 1 pick, but I don't think anyone is arguing that anymore. so yeah, his frame is too little to add enough weight for him to physically belong in the nfl, and doing so would make it difficult to change all his mechanics and would take away from his ability to scramble cut his ass

Bryce also fumbled the ball 11 times this year, and he's in pretty bad company in regards to that, with the exception of Lamar Jackson but let's not pretend he's comparable. Sam Howell who was sacked more often only fumbled four times. For comparison, Kyle Allen fumbled 7 times in 13 games and this was considered completely unacceptable.

I actually would prefer if we went defense and running. There's such a push to get the next "offensive genius" it's created a market inefficiency with defensive players. It's similar to how the steelers were dominant in the mid to late nineties because teams went away from the 3-4 base defense and they had their pick of the players. Build a defense, then develop the offense until a qb you develop is ready or you can pick a veteran to chase a ring. You have to build a good organization to take advantage of that though, and not have an owner who rails some adderall and demands roster moves based on Madden scores.

We did make a huge offer to the Lions: LA made a better one. Now we didn't make the franchise crippling one we did for Bryce, sure, but it's not like the Panthers didn't make a go at him. And I don't think Stafford wanted to come to Carolina and preferred to go to the Super Bowl contender, which fair. The Watson situation was complicated by other factors. I dunno people don't like being fired. You seem to think there's a level of success and financial security you get to where you just say "fug it" and for you and I their salary would obviously be it but that's not how humans process things and lifestyle creep is absolutely a thing.

im responding to a thing you said, on a message board intended for...responses. it was not hostile. learn to...correctly interpret social responses and converse?

powerful 5'10 energy

Literally all of us have been in a situation where we don't speak up about something when we know we're right because an idiot boss thinks it's a good idea and it's easier to just go along with what they want to do and hope it works out than slam our head against the wall. That is a universal shared human experience and I don't understand why people are so resistant to the idea in this situation. Just because the stakes are higher for an NFL team doesn't make the office politics just like some bloated corporation rolling out a new product that literally EVERYONE knows is going to flop but some dipshit middle manager is obsessed with. Second point might be fair, but there's something to be said about internal continuity and bringing up someone that has the respect of the building. NFL teams are complicated things. Another more likely explanation is the old Upton Sinclair quote "It's difficult to get a man to understand something when his paycheck depends on him not understanding it."

I don't believe Morgan, or any of the other members of staff with playing experience, wanted anything to do with bryce. I refuse to believe someone who played defense in the NFL at a high lvl looked at Bryce and didn't think "lol. lmao"

what the hell are you talking about

At best he was the 3rd best, behind beason and luke. You could make argument about Sam Mills too.

He had 2 TDs in 2017 for hte Panthers, which is the year we're talking about. He ended the season with four. KBJ had a catch percentage of 50 and 53% in 2014 and 2016, respectively. In 2017 he was all the way up to 61%. That includes games where he had rates of 20, 42, and 50%. Again, 2 touchdowns in 2017 with the Panthers. This isn't me being a hater or mean or whatever you people think, it's just having watched all the games and looking at the stats and realizing he was garbage. And this is just about the one catch that funchess didn't make. Even if you thnk Benjamin pulls that down for a TD, something he did all of twice in that season for the Panthers, am I supposed to believe he's even in position? he was so fat he could barely move. No way in hell he was going to run that route and be in position.

wow on pace for 64 catches and less than 1000 yards. what a hoss. and four whole touchdowns! his stat lines from that half season are terrible. he had two good games that pumped his stats up. The rest was mid as hell. In all of that he had only 2 touchdowns, which again goes back to my original point of why anyone would expect him of all people to make that catch. Even when he was a 1000 yard receiver his rookie year, he had horrible efficiency and led the league in drops. He's a case study for why topline stats don't mean much. like look at this it is terrible And it's not like he did anything in buffalo either, that year or afterwards. If your only argument in his favor is that there was no one better on the roster, okay sure, but there was clearly something more going on with him that led to him being cut, and he was obviously not good enough to make dealing with him worth it. I have no idea what you're talking about with hurney/rhule/fitterer. Obviously hurney and fitterer never worked together. I'm guessing you also don't mean the early 2000s teams that went to the super bowl and NFC championship game. Or the hurney built teams that won the nfc south three straight years. And hurney didn't draft Benjamin or Funchess. Should also point out that when Hurney was with Rhule, he drafted an all pro caliber DT, another guy that finished 2nd in defensive roty voting, and a good rotational defensive lineman. It was the panthers last good draft. You're defneding a player as necessary that the Panthers went to the super bowl without. And you're getting upset because I said a player who managed to score 2 touchdowns in 8 games, was fat and out of shape, was basically run out of the league, is going to do something he didn't do his entire career as a pro and make a clutch catch. Are you high? Do you even know what you're arguing about or did you just get offended for some reason and decide to start pressing letters on your porn box? fug off

Hospital ball is always going to be “the rage” while Bruce is at qb. Like what else do you call this? https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8p27qsV/

No idea why you think kelvin Benjamin of all people would make a clutch catch. Are you actually Dave gettleman posting? and it’s pretty clear at this point cutting KB was about more than just football. Dude was a locker room and buffet bar cancer.
