Young's Stat Splits before the Texans Game
LinvilleGorge replied to SaltAndPepper's topic in Carolina Panthers
The inability to stretch the field is all over these stats. If you can't effectively throw over 20 yards then you're basically left with a Teddy Bridgewater ceiling. I hope the play caller change will help. -
Wake really screwed the pooch not coming into this game committed to the run. They tried to go pass heavy early on and were wholly ineffective at it. Now they've dug themselves into a hole that forces them to be pass heavy and they're gonna get blown out for it. I bet FSU scores again before half. Wake fans chanting for the backup QB but you can't do that to the kid. If you wanna make that change wait until next week. You can't throw a guy out there against the #4 team in the country unprepared to start in a must throw situation on the scoreboard. If you do that, you gotta wave the white towel and just run your offense like you would if the game was competitive. I don't know anything about their backup but it's a move they should consider moving forward. This starter is NOT it.

Oh for sure. HS recruiting is still going to be vital but the portal is definitely the quick fix. The small school kids that blow up aren't gonna hang around. They're gonna go to a P5 school. But then again, the small schools are gonna benefit from the good players caught up in a logjam st a major program so it kinda goes both ways. And yeah, the NCAA is gonna have to find a way to strike a balance on the NIL stuff. It's just the straight up wild, wild west right now. One step I'd make is reinstituting the one year sit out rule for transfers. Balance that by forcing the schools to commit to a four year scholarship for the kids as long as they maintain academic eligibility, which is how it always should've been anyway.

Wow. 62% of starts from FSU this year have been transfers. This is the new reality of college football. HS recruiting is now an afterthought. Your primary recruiting pool is the transfer portal. Most of those HS recruits are a year or two, maybe even three away from being significant contributors. Those portal kids are good to go tomorrow.

It's definitely possible. I mean, instead of conferences having one or two potential playoff caliber teams they might have 3 or 4. I just think the 4 team field puts more pressure. I mean, if FSU loses to Wake the ACC is essentially out of the playoff race barely halfway through the season. In a 12 team field, the ACC would still have both FSU and UNC alive even with both having bad losses (in the event FSU loses to Wake). The ACC ain't gonna let FSU lose to Wake without throwing everything they have to avoid it.

Refs should not be hired by the conferences. There's just way too many financial incentives to get a team into the playoffs. There's just way too many extremely questionable flags benefitting playoff contenders in-conference every single year. Maybe going to 12 teams will help clean up some of that incentive. But honestly, a lot of times it does feel like straight up game rigging for the teams with playoff aspirations.
