Super Bowl may not happen this year.....
Captroop replied to PanthersATL's topic in Carolina Panthers
Okay. And the vast preponderance of very educated doctors disagree with you. -
Super Bowl may not happen this year.....

And if you die later from the direct, lasting affects of COVID infection months later, like pneumonia or lung disease, but aren't positive for COVID at the time, it's not reported as a COVID death. The door swings both ways if you want to play that game. -
Watching this, I don't blame any QB on this roster for "playing scared." But on the plus side, it's also not as dire as it seems. This offseason doesn't call for a total rebuild of the offensive line, which I expected. I think we have the pieces in place on the ends. So that means we have 3 interior lineman positions to fill through the draft and free agency. That seems pretty doable. Better pass protection will create better passers. I truly don't think we've seen the potential of any QB on the roster this season.

What would your reaction be if we beat the Saints
Captroop replied to WarPanthers89's topic in Carolina Panthers
Trick question. In order to react, I'd have to watch it. -
...You literally quoted the post where I explained my position. Are you asking me if I'm advocating for "rights" for machines?

Other then Oline other positions of interest to improve?

MLB. If we're a defensively minded team, we need a field general. -
It's laughable you think Rhule could have even gotten that team and that talent to a super bowl.
-
Of all the things that speaks to Rhule's poor judgement and ego, it's that he thinks he could draw a line in the sand with himself on one side, and Cam on the other, and come out on the winning side with this franchise and fanbase.

Article: Watson did not want the Panthers
Captroop replied to WarPanthers89's topic in Carolina Panthers
Yup, 18 of 22 means that indeed there were a lot of opportunists trying to get cash out of him. But 4 people saying they still want to take their sexual assault allegations to trial means he definitely did some bad poo. -
I can't be the only person who thought of this, right?

Almost 20 percent of your drives start out hobbled by penalties. I don't think it can be overstated how important it is to resolve that issue and what a colossal failure in coaching it represents. It's stood out so clearly this season just how devastating those early penalties can be. When you're first and 15 or first and 20 in the shadow of your own end zone, it drastically reduces your playcalling options, which, more often than not leads to the bad situation compounding with a stuffed run, a sniffed out screen, a sack, or worst of all an interception. And it seems to ALWAYS happen in a critical situation, when we're still in position for a game-winning or tying drive, and the clock is winding down, and one of our fugging moron linemen flinches. I don't care who is at the helm. That poo should have been fixed in the first quarter of the season.

I don't know, man. It's gotten so bad, I've been spending time in the Tinderbox again.
-
Lately my thought process is... "A potentially great player was troubled on a bad, rudderless team? If he comes to a tight ship like the Panthers I bet he'll have the chance to shine!" "Oh, wait."

I'm fine either way. I've not experienced so many demoralizing, fandom-questioning losses as I've endured this year. So I certainly wouldn't shed a tear to see some of the vestiges of this period removed. On the other hand, I'm not thrilled at the prospect of a regime change that will set us back again while a new coaching scheme is rolled out. Say what you will, but a coaching change is a setback that you hope pays dividends later. So I'd almost rather see what Rhule can do with the offensive pieces needed to succeed. But I don't think he'll be around next year. Firing the OC is the first step in the regime change. And I have a hard time imagining it's the only move coming. I just think the decision was made not to can the whole staff, because it's bad optics to clean house while we're still - on paper anyway - in the playoff hunt.

Anybody can come off the bench and look stellar against a team that hasn't been preparing for them, or doesn't have a lot of film on them. Doesn't mean he's the answer. No one but no one would look good on this offense behind this line. QB hasn't been the problem, and frankly we don't have the ability to evaluate QBs given the current situation.

Appropriate because I always think about "Measure of a Man" when I see videos like this. I think making humanoid robots is incredibly creepy. I'm totally okay with the Boston Dynamics approach; making robots that look like machines and are designed to efficiently do a job that replaces human labor. But when you make a robot that looks and acts human, well, there's no way around it; you're making a slave. You're creating a second class person who can do work you don't want to do. A person that is your property who you can command without them having the ability to refuse. The word "Robot" even comes from the Russian word for, "to work." If we're doing this now, I think we should go ahead now and start developing the rights of non-human people. Because every SciFi story know we will have to do it anyway. So we might as well do it from the outset rather than after the robot revolution.

Draft order if the season ended today (pretty weird)

Between Cam, Luke, and CMC, it's hard to believe we squandered an opportunity to win a championship with that many generational talents on the roster at the same time.

What will you do with your Sundays?
Captroop replied to USDepartmentOfSavagery's topic in Carolina Panthers
My usual Warhammer group plays on Sundays. As long as Cam is starting, I'll probably watch it on my phone, but if I'm gonna watch a team get absolutely abused, it might as well be one I spent hour meticulously painting. -
He was on the couch 3 weeks ago. He can bulk up. I worry that he's taking too many shots behind this line. And he can't bounce back and shake them off the way he could in his 20s. (speaking from experience on that one)

I knew the O-Line was going to be weak this offseason. I never thought, nor could I have possibly conceived that it would be this bad. And what's worse is the Miami fugging dolphins found the formula to make our garbage line look as bad as it possibly can, and I'm terrified that whatever they did is repeatable. But the real kicker is, we don't have one. single. piece. of a functional O-Line on our roster. It's a from scratch job, and I don't think it's possible to achieve adequacy in a single off-season. To anyone who might be suggesting we go after a QB in the draft, no. That's all I have to say. No. You'd get the exact same results from Tom Brady behind this line. And wasting a pick, or free agency dollars on a QB is less opportunity to fix probably the most glaring issue on not only the Panthers, but possible the most glaring issue on any team in the entire league.
