Dri Archer Doubtful

Dri, injuried his ankle against the Browns week 1. Although just a rookie, Dri has an extra gear not many players have. Anytime you don't have to worry about a player like Dri is a nice break for the D and special teams. When healthy he'll be a nice weapon for the steelers. In the pre season he had receptions for 46 yards and 40.

I really feel like this is your classic trap game. Our schedule gets pretty tough after this. I wouldn't expect a team like us who is often overlooked to overlook anyone. So lets up that's the case tomorrow.

There's no such thing of a trap game. I am utterly shocked that the scheduling gurus gave us and the Steelers the prime time slot over the Super Bowl rematch of Broncos vs Seahawks though.

Well you know how the schedule making is done right? It was possible they weren't able to switch the time spots due to MLB or some event. Regardless, I'm ready for a national game and I don't have to watch some garbage stream!

Dude this! Ive been wanting to see Peyton Manning against the 12th man ever since he returned, im so glad I will be able to watch it at 4:25 and not miss a Panther game. Im a devout Panther fan through and through but Peyton Manning is my favorite QB of all time, I hope he dominates at century link.

    • I saw that too--and what you said made sense because there is something like that in the rules--said that he is unlikely to get picked up (and I was not suggesting that we do) and Jones wants to go to a winning team.   After getting beaten to death in NY behind a sub par OL, poor WRs, and brutal fan base, I get it. 
    • True.  Sam and Baker did not do well here but went on to better things under better coaching, circumstances or both.  The real question is, ‘why aren’t the Panthers able to get improved performance out of ‘broken toys’, similar to Minnesota and Tampa? That is a rhetorical question.  I think we know the answer.   [The cultural reference to Pogo dates me, I’ll admit.]
    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.
