At the end of the day, reardless who wins, I don't expect either team to make it past next round. They're simply not good enough

Yep!

He's in his head

Plus, Herbert is being Herbert (of old)

Hell, they did that last year.

Sure, but let's not disregard the direction of needles.

No one has "disparaged" CJ. He hasn't looked great this year, especially the second half of the season. Be honest in your analysis.

Stroud nuthuggers blinded by a rookie season. Support your own QB whose needle is actually on the rise.

Likewise

And still going to lose

Plus, I was referring to this season, and even this game to be perfectly honest.

Put them in any other division, including the NFCS, and they don't win the division. Moreover, don't be so simplistic as to think that a QB is the only one on the field.

Not sure why you think that Bryce has hit his ceiling, but we'll see how that looks in a year. And as far as Stroud, he's looked decidedly pedestrian. Put your money on him if you want.

I still say Chargers kill them

He's a country boy from South Carolina. You eat cows and pigs, he eats squirrels and coons. Let's not get on our high horses here (which some people also eat).

I'll just put it this way, I wouldn't put money on Brady Christensen returning. Though never a cemented fixture on the line, he may be difficult to replace. "While Christensen has great value, there's also a decent chance he can make more money by signing with another team. For one thing, there's no clear path for Christensen to start, which he hasn't done consistently since he played left guard in 2022. Panthers fans should prepare for the possibility that he will wind up leaving in free agency. When he spoke with reporters on locker cleanout day, he said he wants to test the market but would not mind returning, ultimately wanting to make the best choice for his family, per David Newton at ESPN." He deserves a higher payday for sure, but what's that going to look like? On an off note, we can't let BC and Ekwonu ultimately walk. That's not what responsible franchises do. For those bringing up Ickey, you better appreciate that man. He's not perfect, but is a far cry from dog poo. https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/carolina-panthers-brady-christensen-nfl-free-agency-plans

He's a top tier QB who has a history of injuries. If he expects Surtain money, what do you think is going to happen?

I think the point is is that there are people here who would actually give time to fix the site to varying degrees for free because all of us obviously love the Huddle. @Zodonly has to allow one of them to do it.

https://youtu.be/NdU-A7QLcHk?si=9VZCoMjMOMfxxWjQ Look at it if you want to feel good about Bryce. If not, do not. Sure, he was playing against a bad Falcons defense, but he showed a masterful understanding of what was going, where the pressure was coming from and who to get the ball to. And just as important, he made the throws, and at many times they were throws of anticipation. He knew where the receiver was going, and let the ball rip, sometimes before the receiver was anywhere near the ultimate catchpoint. That's not only keen understanding, but chemistry. Moreover, his footwork, sliding away from the pressure, resetting his feet, or flat out taking off when the play was breaking down foretells good things in his future. It was a very far cry from his very first outing against the Falcons when fans and pundits alike began to sour on Bryce out of the gate. What a difference observing and learning makes. One thing Chase said is that we need to get Bryce some more weapons, and I'm all for it. It's an offensive league and if nothing else Bryce showed that he can actually score points in a dogfight. That's always a good thing in today's NFL. Lastly, but by no means less important, is the fact that Dave Canales seems to be learning and adapting his game as well. Situationally, that was probably DC's best game as well. He realized Bryce was cooking, and he let him cook. Sure, he threw some runs in, but that's what you're supposed to do: use the run to set up the pass and the pass to set up the run. Moreover, the play designs were solid if you listen to what Daniels was saying. Canales is obviously very in tune with his QB, and offensive players in general. History says that he knows what he is doing. I kinda trust him to turn a lot of attention to the defense and help EE get that straightened out (even though I'm still skeptical of the scheme). The last game was interesting and was, in many ways, a revelation that our QB and HC may have a higher ceiling than many of us ever thought possible. I'll be fascinated to see what types of things will be addressed in the offseason. I'm feeling hopeful for a reason.

If that's the case, he should cede a little authority to someone who would fix some things. There are probably a few people that would fix the Huddle for free.

Man, I can't even get him to fix the password recovery. We've been forsaken. I guess It's better than nothing though.

Assuming the broken lines are the averages, Legette and Thielen are getting above average separation. Thielen is knocking it out of the park with catching and YAC. Legette is not. Coker appears to be excellent with catching and YAC, regardless of a little less than average separation. I don't really like the graphing aspect of PFF's stats, because too many things aren't considered within the context of the graph; for example: how a player is being used, who is throwing and who is catching, chemistry between QB and WR, and who the players are playing with and against can all impact a players spot on that graph.

The further to the right they are means they are getting open. The lower they are means they're catchpoints and YAC are suffering.

Well, the site no longer sends recovery emails---I know all too well---so maybe he'll just come back as an alt without any of his admin privileges...which explains why he hasn't responded to any of my posts on the issue. /End sarcasm
