I'm usually running 4 streams on my second monitor with the game I'm most interested in on my primary. I keep the third monitor open to look up stats, prospects, etc that I'm paying attention to or catch my eye. My ADHD is in Heaven during football season.

Holy poo Mac Jones

Lot of good games today. Makes me almost miss cable and the ease of flipping channels. But streaming means I can just put multiple games on multiple monitors, so weeeeeeee football immersion today!

Criticism for job performance is one thing, but we had posters in here commenting on her blow job performance. That definitely isn't being said about Tepper's son or brother.

I mean... the slogan is "Keep Pounding" Not "Keep Pouting" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I very much could see this being what happens if the team's record is as abysmal as fans are fearing. Would be the smartest move also, imo.

"bUt hE dIssAppEArs In crUcIAl mOmEnts" Burns is leading the team in sacks, forced fumbles, TFLs, QB hits, and pressures all while facing more double teams. What's he supposed to do? Play offense too? Pay the man before folks are crying about him balling out somewhere else!

Happy for them! They were playing well here, so it's not surprising that they're playing well in new locations. If Bryce Young develops into the franchise QB that the team is hoping for, then it was a solid trade for all parties. The #61 pick for CMC was packaged along with DJ to move up for Bryce. #93 + #132 were used to move up for DJ Johnson who has shown flashes that he can set the edge in the NFL (but still needs to develop his pass rush arsenal). Bryce Young alone makes both trades worth it if he ends up the next franchise QB. If DJ Johnson turns out to be a starting edge rusher as well? Then shoot... I got to see CMC + DJ play for the Panthers and see them ball out win their veteran seasons while the capital that the team gained from them was used on a QB + DE. I will say this... the fans that bitched relentlessly about trading an overpaid RB, doing anything possible to aggressively gamble on a QB at #1, and claimed that DJ Moore isn't a top 20 WR sure do seem to be mad that the team did everything that they wanted.

Happy for DJ, as well as my fantasy team that he put up 58pts for

We all saw the hit vs. Cousins before he knocked Osborne over, but I missed D'Shawn cutting JJ in half. Was wondering why JJ made the "short" gesture after the TD catch late in the game, but I'd probably need to get some of my ego back too if I got speared like he did. Started getting curious about where this young man came from, so I went back to Dane Brugler's draft guide and found that he was Brugler's #35 ranked CB. Below is what Brugler had: Had no clue that the kid had return potential (might have been mentioned when he was signed initially, but I can't recall), and his background on offense was interesting too. He's undersized (which is a cardinal sin now that Bryce Young is struggling), but his aggression and athletic traits allowed him to stick to receivers in college. Like the other rookies, it's too early to crown (or condemn) him, but he's made some splash plays. He's given up 3 catches on 5 targets so far (including JJ's TD), but could be fun to keep an eye on as the season progresses. Might even develop into a reliable back-up nickel that can also contribute on ST.

Yea, that's a definite. One of the knocks on him was that he wasn't going to be able to do all of the running around behind the LOS that he did at Bama due to NFL defenders being on another level. However, he has had plays that he's extended where we did see some of that magic. Figuring out what he can/can't get away with in the NFL is going to take time. Hopefully the OL will settle and not keep him under constant pressure. He's facing quick pressure often as seen below.

They do, but that's not what you were bitching about. You asked why we didn't throw deep passes. Now if you want to assume that we're not throwing deep passes strictly because of Bryce's size/skill, you're by all means welcome to believe that. Just don't pretend that you're not ignoring two major factors that are just as vital to the deep passing game as the QB's arm talent. It makes you look like an asshole or ignorant. Neither of those are good things.

Mang... seeing the clean pocket % for Brock Purdy and how much separation their WRs are getting it's no wonder CMC is balling out. Defenses can't key in on him like they did when he was here.

I'm going to assume that you don't understand what those mean given that you didn't mention them rather than assuming you were just focusing on the one graph that you believed validated your feelings about current QB play. Only 5 QBs have had a lower clean pocket percentage than Bryce. When your QB is consistently under pressure that makes it difficult to do much of anything, let alone allow a deep passing play to develop. When you combine that with only one WR being in the first quadrant, and that's 33yr old Adam Thielen, that's going to make it incredibly difficult for the QB to find an open target. The other 3 Panthers WRs are all in the third quadrant. Does all of that mean that Bryce has the best deep ball in the world and every mistake that he's made is somebody else's fault? Absolutely not. Does it mean that the team's lack of a deep passing game is entirely due to his average-at-best deep passing ability? Not at all. What it means, as much as some Huddlers don't want to acknowledge/believe/feel/whatever it, is that the awful play from the offensive line and wide receivers are making things difficult for a rookie QB who is already having to deal with the difficult transition from quarterbacking in college vs. quarterbacking in the NFL. Anybody expecting him to be just firing 20+ yard passes when his OL is getting beat and WRs aren't getting open is living in a Madden fantasy world. Hopefully that helps you understand what you're seeing a little better.

That's all of the data they've put out this week (so far). Pretty excited that I've got another account to add to the list.

Andy Dalton fans are gonna foam at the mouth over this one

Was from a few weeks ago, appreciate you pointing that out. I had grabbed it from Reddit instead of the creator's Twitter/X account, but since you asked I went over and found some more graphs.

Exactly. The fact that he immediately recognized it afterwards is a good thing. The team needs a QB that's going to grow and improve from their experiences. Demanding that he not get mixed up by a veteran defensive coordinator (with head coaching experience, no less) is about as stupid as it gets.
