Man people on this forum do no watch sec football and it shows.

And for the record Bryce does in fact have the weapon to throw deep now. There’s really not an excuse anymore except that he can’t or won’t.

The term is “threaten.” As in make the defense think about it, not pull off da bomb flip every play you don’t need prime Randy moss to toss a go route to the sideline to keep a safety honest. you just need a wr to run deep and a qb with the arm strength and accuracy to….hang on I’m getting an update

Bo nix.

There definitely seem to be a lot of knives coming out against XL. Well, at least from the people that aren’t paid not to knife him.

Does it really matter with the current state of the team? I mean you have to pay someone. There is a salary cap floor. Players don’t want to come here or stay here. his contract is not hurting the panthers in any conceivable way, unless it’s stopping us from overpaying mid FAs. But that’s kind of the same problem you’re describing?

The problem wasn’t trading up marginally for a guy just to add a year to his contract; it was drafting the wrong person. If this was Ladd it wouldn’t be an issue. the strategy was correct, the execution was abysmal.

These games are basically Christmas for Bryce supporters.

Tua wouldn’t be allowed to drive a car in north Carolina. Atrium does have a really good neuro program tho

He did look a little gimpy from practice clips.

Which ones

I mean they’d ideally like to use that to take deep shots or open up second level throws but oops

It’s play action stretch mesh it’s a highschool offense

I’d love for Bryce to actually try to call anyone out. Buckner was talking about thr 2001 team once and someone asked him if the defense was talking poo to the offense in between games. he laughed and said “we were last in offense and defense that year no one was talking poo to anyone.”

Both times!

Guys make no mistake Henson hooker fuging sucks like won’t be able to execute the offense but if we just wanna run play action da bomb flip to Tet all game that’d be pretty great. Hooker has a fuging hose

Bryce is not a realistic candidate for New Orleans because of SEC reasons and I am dead serious about that. they won’t bring in an Alabama qb.

they ran it one time sunday!

yeah, a corgi because he was always injured because of his bilateral hip dysplasia (shaq was fine)

Oh for sure. I just wanted to preempt it. we disagree about nothing these days.

Look at who they’re interviewing there. parcels, aikman, Peyton etc. the youngest guy is KOC who’s forty. The passing game 25, 35, 45 years ago looked less glamorous to be sure but it was far more complex. You didn’t have these packages where you’d make quick checks, every play was its own thing, basically everyone was playing under center etc. once the nfl got out of the dead ball era things became very complex very quickly and they hadnt figured out a way to truncate it. Plus it was nowhere in college or high school. Vertical passing attacks just didn’t exist. So yeah parcells probably does have that view because that’s what he came up in. Aikman had to learn that when he got to the nfl. Aikman was so lost his rookie season the cowboys almost took Jeff George first overall in 1990. Today the learning curve is a lot lower. pro concepts today borrow a great deal from the college game now. Tons of air raid stuff, RPO, pistol, etc. even though everything is faster at every position, it’s schematically more simple. The learning curve is nowhere near what it was for even Peyton manning when he came out. plus, prospects today are basically pro qbs from the time they’re in middle school. Bryce Young for example lived in invite only qb camps since he reached his max height at 12 years old. The whole “they shouldn’t get paid because they get a degree for free” was always just an insincere argument from racist old people, but no one even pretends to make it anymore. Playing qb at a division 1 school is a full time job for years before you even get to campus. And that is all they do. The days of people excelling in multiple sports to the point there’s pro interest and then just choosing one or the other and succeeding are over. Aikman was drafted by the Mets out of high school and decided to go start as a freshman at Oklahoma. The exact opposite is happening now, to the point you’ve got guys going to play baseball for a few years, coming back to college football, and playing until they’re like 27. that’s actually one of the theories about why darnold isn’t better than everyone feels he should be. He only played two years of college football. In highschool he was first team all everything in every sport. Dude has an insane athletic pedigree. But there’s at least four years of highschool invite camps he never got to go to. You can’t just be the most athletic guy in the room anymore. So obviously the older guys are complaining about how things are done; it’s what offer guys do. But the pro game today is much more accessible for these guys than it was back in their day, and the players are more ready for the transition. Like is anyone defending Anthony Richardson? What im saying is we know what Bryce young is and we should t wait for waiting’s sake.

Bryce is into…darker…things.

Everyone knew Manziel was going to flame out, especially once the combine process started and all the stories from TAMU started to get to teams. Dude straight up did not know how to play football, how to read a defense, how to not do drugs. There were rumors that his family was involved in armenian organized crime that were pretty credible. He was just that physically gifted in college; he had a huge arm, he could scramble away from anyone, and no matter where he was on the field he could toss up a jump ball to mike evans. Him beating Alabama was what caused Saban to finally get away from statue QBs and implement some RPO elements. The way he played in college was never going to work in the pros. Even if he wasn't a polysubstance abuser and was cerebral and willing to put in the work, the best case scenario was always him sitting for multiple years and learning how to play football. He was off almost all boards, notably not Dallas tho. This a true story. A homeless person approached Jimmy Haslam on the street and told him to draft Johnny Football. So the Browns did. That was just about the worst place he could have landed, he started right away, and the first time he tried to get to the edge against an NFL linebacker he realized he wasn't as fast as Luke Kuechly and he was injured and never really played again. I was at this game. Anyway, great college player, absolutely deserved the Heisman, was never going to work in the NFL, hard to call him a bust just because the Browns reached for him and threw him to the wolves.

You’re calling players “serviceable” which is a meaningless subjective descriptor then backing that up with stats across vastly different eras of football without any context. Youre being disingenuous and annoying.

id be fine with us drafting calvin johnson
