yeah, Steve was basically like on any actual topic that approached his flaws/problems.....89 went with the long winded, try to sound like a wise man strategy of just basically just pleading the 5th (and sprinkling in the idea that others could of been wrong or wrong too). also, in terms of the assaults and stuff like that....it feels like old 89, I feel has sort of forgotten his well-documented confessions and apologies about that aspect and era of his and was trying to re-write his story/image in hindsight. And in all honesty, it seemed like a PR move on the twitter/cheating stuff also attempting to play himself as not the bad guy some think with the intentional vague suggestions. and the Pivot and all these athlete moves to basically take the reigns and power from traditional outlets exposes they have just as bad as flaws if not more often than the traditional media folks. I mean I do like the free form long talk when dudes are telling stories but all this stuff is largely flawed and controlled PR often.

nah, that's basically saying people can't call a spade a spade. Which is crazy. 89 is not a good dude. He might have done a couple good things but it will never erase what he has proven to be in front of the world. I tell my kid all the time not to view celebrity athletes as anything but people that play a sport well. Lot of garbage humans play on Sunday. And you have no clue who the good guys actually are. PR in today's world is also powerful. There was a window when Deshawn Watson checked every good guy box that could have ever existed from the public's perspective.

Bryce also averages close to about 100 more passing yards per game in a dome vs outside. I think this game will play out more like the Saints game, Packers game, etc in terms of what Bryce is able to do. What we need is for Rico to be able to find a whole in a crowded box maybe twice and gash them for big ones

Weight classes exist for a reason. I think the Panthers likely have had tons of players that could have handled 89…..but that would require them to be a certain type person and plus there is the entire org issue at hand. He was the star and dude organizationally. You can’t just deal with the problem child star any way you want. 89 had some built in protection systemically most likely. Very few dudes the org probably could have tolerated standing up to him….like you said Pep is one and probably Cam the other. and still think there is a long laundry list of in house 89 stuff we don’t know about. I doubt 89’s vague and short answer for we left is a good picture of that reality too. 89 happened to want to leave at exactly the same time his importance on the team didn’t allow a the team to excuse anything and everything from a guy. Cam and Luke were better players by then and better employees.

Sell out to stop the pass? Why in the world would they do that. one half of football vs Atlanta doesn’t rewrite how you play us.

The poo emoji is out now too lol

I feel bad for the over the top Bryce stans. Hell, let them have their one week. The mental gymnastics they have had to pull….(checks notes)…..for 10 straight weeks of football to finally get the random Atlanta game is tough for them.

Best to just forget about Brooks IMO. At least in terms of real planning. If we get something out of the pick at this point it’s a nice surprise. No way you can pencil him in as anything

haven’t listened to it yet….but an hour of 89 shooting the breeze I’m sure has something interesting in it

The rankings is through week 11 though. Not week 11. PFF always outs itself as overall utter nonsense when you start putting their graded players beside other graded players.

If you pick the right games, you could take 3 of those GWDs and add up all the Bryce contributions together….and you could get a total of just 1 pass where he threw it 5 yards downfield. if you watched those games, the final drive was “won” by guys that weren’t the QB most isolated singular stats are largely garbage. It would be like looking at QB INTs and then thinking if a guy has 5 INTs he has made less dumb throws than the guy with 8 INTs. Maybe the dude with 8 had WRs tip up a lot good passes and had a couple Hail Marys going into half….

Bryce Young to me doesn't pass the eye test of clutch. To me, big moments are all over the map and game. Biggest play in the game could be in the 3rd quarter for example. Bryce is bad in a lot of really big moments in games.

You could ask on being "clutch".....is how many times does a GWD scenario present itself and you pull it off is required to actually be deemed clutch.

not just poo play to start the season. Bryce has been poo almost this entire season. I mean, if Bryce doesn't comeback out of the lockerroom on Sunday.....I think the Panthers were going to bench him. I just don't see how they could of trotted him back out there. Because it would been another disaster on top of a bunch of recent bad play.
