Ward is just so smooth in the pocket

lol is that all you got? I expected more. You forgot, 1400 SAT Belle Knox

Dukes campus is gorgeous! Did you know that Duke did not originate in Durham? Founded in NC but not in Durham

I think it’s closer to the fact that you only need a 500 SAT score and somewhat speak English, but to each their own. But honestly Mack has done all he can do, you guys have to much talent to play like you have the last few years

And what does that have to do with the fact your football program sucks as bad as Dukes? Actually, last couple of years Duke has been better. Fun fact, did you know when they were first thinking of building the Asheboro Zoo, a Carolina alum, NC general assembly member and NC senate member said to just put a fence around Carolina? True fact, he said it to the zoning board

So is Carolina but we talk about their football. Tell me, what’s the difference? And I would like to add, Carolina football loses like this with 4 and 5 star recruits.

Shut your filthy mouth

I do! What I’ve seen of Cam he’s the man! So calm cool and collected in the pocket, great arm, can run, has size,bet he plays video games well, in other words…I like what I see in Cam Ward

Duke about to go 4-0, just saying

Good for this young man, he is saying the right thing, I hope he really believes it. I can talk about how terrible he is all day, which I've done, but self-reflection is one of the hardest things a person can do and it sounds like he is doing that and I respect it. I personally don't think he has the skills to make it in the NFL but none the less I am pulling for him, just not here.

I'm really impressed with the o-line. I wasn't expecting much from them but seeing how they are playing now knowing they still have a ton of room to grow as they play and get to know one another's tendencies; this could be the making of a really, dare I say, good o-line. I also think when given a chance the RB's have done well, both of them.

I was saying the same thing last year. CJ Stroud did not magically walk into the best team in football that just needed to plug in a QB to be a playoff team. CJ Stroud made everyone around him better, he made pedestrian WR's look like all-stars. He made a makeshift o-line look serviceable! The D could play with speed and aggression because they weren't on the field 90% of the game. They call the QB position the most important position in football for a reason! Heck, look at Alec Pierce with Indy, he is a JAG at best but when AR is playing and can throw that ball 75 yards with a flick of a wrist Alec seems to be one of the top WR so far this year! The examples go on and on and on for decades, in different eras, etc. That is why I don't understand how some, and some experts keep talking about the Panthers ruining Bryce, Bryce is ruining everyone around him in Carolina. Nothing against the kid personally and hate it for him as a human being because being told something like this sucks but truth is the truth.

I am still just flabbergasted that some of these so called experts continue on with how we did Bryce. It is straight up simple, he sucks! It has nothing to do with the talent around him, nothing, if he were on the 49'ers guess what? He would still suck! He just isn't an NFL QB, there is nothing he has shown to prove otherwise. H3ll a broken clock is right twice a DAY, Bryce hasn't been right twice in over a year, he is JUST NOT GOOD! But on topic, no, no QB is going to do this If I recall correctly the whole Eli thing wasn't because Eli didn't want to play there it was because his dad had beef with the Chargers front office. There has now, nor ever been proof that Andrew Luck stayed in school an extra year to avoid us and if he did, that was under a different regime Any QB that belongs in the number 1 pick, and I'm sure even Bryce was of this mindset, has to come in knowing they are on the worst team in the NFL and believing they can change that.

You can't make the players trust the QB, the locker room does not fall on Dave, it falls on the players. Honestly, as bad has he has been, 18 games were too long. Frank knew it, Dave knows it and I think finally David knows it. You don't have to wait long when you know they aren't it, waste of time and energy for all parties. And everything you heard was coach / player speak. No one is just going to come out and say a person sucks until they absolutely have to.

I thought I heard in the press conference, he quickly said it and moved on, but I thought I heard "the locker-room was divided"

At this point there isn’t a franchise QB in next years class

I started him in 4 DFS lineups after the announcement and his interview

I think we can all read between the tea leaves now. Dave didn’t play him in preseason because he saw he wasn’t ready! If you aren’t starting your QB then you have to sit the other starters, which set them back. He was hiding him, working with him, trying to fix him before he couldn’t hide him anymore. And with all that, he put the whole team behind!

Well considering the D was on the field 90% of the time because we couldn’t get a first down to save our lives I’m surprised the scores were that close. Those boys had to be gassed by the 2nd quarter

I guess those that are close to him don’t even watch him play.

Just heard it without hearing it. The locker room was gone! This had to happen!

Had to do it, it was the right move. It was the only way you are going to see what you really have in other players. Kudos to the decision maker (whomever that was)

Same here!

And he almost fumbled away the one rushing TD

To me, even with the crap play at the QB position, the O-Line has looked better than serviceable, they actually look decent and should only get better, baring injuries, the more they play together and gel. The QB actually runs into sacks, and fakes hurries to scurry out of the pocket like a scared little miny mouse! I have watched all the receivers get wide open, meaning more than NFL open, but if they are beyond 10 yards they can hang it up. There is absolutely no way to grade any other player on offence! Like I said last week, take the ball out of Bryce Youngs hands and the games will be closer.
