Just stop. Pj will not start this year. WILL NOT. Doubt the way he's starting off that we even keep him long. Only way he starts is if our shooting guards blow out their knees all at the same exact time in coordinated fashion. What's your fascination with him starting.

 

Um Pj could easily be starting by mid season. 

 

Why, well because he is more talented and a better fit than Hendo. 

 

Rookie or not.

He is more talented shooting than Hendo. That's about all you can give him at this point. Stop deluding yourself into thinking PJ is going to start this year. The only way he will is with an injury. I'm not even convinced he can keep himself out of trouble enough to make a significant impact, he has shown us nothing to make us believe that.

If Hendo is alive and on this roster pj will not start this year.

If Hayward is dead and on this roster pj will not start this season.

If Adam Morrison is not too stoned and on this roster pj will not start.

I can keep going. Clifford ain't starting a rookie if he has veterans that are healthy. He sure as hell ain't starting one that can't keep his nose clean for the only week he was an actual hornet. He better shape up if he even wants to be around. Let alone start.

And scorer. 

 

None of his offenses would be issues in the NBA.

Top 3 Seed

Indiana are the best team in the East at the minute if the big three leave Miami. And even if the big three stay, Indiana are young and improving, so they could surpass the Heat.

If LeBron heads to Cleveland, they should be a top three seed regardless of if they Kevin Love or not. But if he stays in Miami with Bosh and Wade, the Heat will be a top three seed again.

Then there is Chicago. If Rose is healthy they have an elite PG, and Noah is an elite C. If they manage to land some support in free agency they will be a top three seed next season.

So for me, the top three seeds are - Indiana, Chicago, and Miami/Cleveland. I think we are in the same tier as teams like Toronto and Washington, young teams looking to take that next step and could land the 4th seed. I wouldn't rule out improvement from Atlanta or Brooklyn, both have decent line ups and coaching staffs, so they could make a jump too.

Don't get me wrong. I think we have a good chance to improve on our 7th seeding. But it will take more than Hayward to make us jump into the top three.

Disagree on Indiana being the best team in the east. Lance isn't coming back and I think that will hurt them greatly. They are getting worse, not better. If LeBron goes to Cleveland than them and the Bulls are the top two teams with it being a crapshoot the rest of they way.

      Exactly the type of thing he would have done here. The excuse people were stannin’ so hard claiming he would have looked just as bad. Just not true.

      It's not just the Panthers... the NFL sucks at developing young QBs "it's a systemic problem"

      By Panthers Rhule · Posted

      Yes and there aren't 32 starting QBs in the league either. Too many teams and too many games. The NFL has regressed over the years and game quality is lacking. The other leagues are supposed to be farm leagues but it doesn't matter. You just won't have 32 no matter what they do. The move to super athletes playing QB at all levels has lead to this. It used to be those guys played other positions but now they are QBs who can't really QB.  It has a trickle down effect too. OL can't block because they never had to. The fact that in today's game your QB must be able to run at least a little to survive is evidence of this as well. IMO they have ruined the game same as with the NBA. It's been simplified to the point of being boring.  Just look at the top 10 this season. Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs) Joe Burrow (Bengals) Josh Allen (Bills) Lamar Jackson (Ravens) Dak Prescott (Cowboys) Jalen Hurts (Eagles) Brock Purdy (49ers) Jordan Love (Packers) Justin Herbert (Chargers) Matthew Stafford (Rams) Once we get to number 5 the stats look like this: 167 262 1,845 63.7 7.0 10 8 65 18 84.5   47.5   10 TDs and 8 INTs??? At number 5??? There was a time not that long ago that he wouldn't even be a starter.

      I'm not convinced that the NFL is any better or worse at developing QBs now than they were 20 years ago.  I mean I'm sure there are some developmental issues at play, just not sure it is any different than it has been. The biggest difference IMO is that NFL teams are waaaaaaaay more willing to invest a 1st round pick into a QB now than they were 15-20 years ago.  A guy like Colin Kaepernick would probably be a top 5 pick in 2025, whereas he went in the 2nd in 2011.  Would a guy like Trey Lance go top 3 in 2010?  Hell no.  Look at Russell Wilson - he didn't go until the 3rd round.  The standard for being a 1st round QB has dropped. So it may seem like we're seeing more high-profile busts at the position, but we're also seeing teams reach for QBs way more than they have in the past.  Someone with Anthony Richardson's college resume doesn't go in the top 3 20 years ago.
