I thought it would be interesting to have a thread where we just poo all over ourselves for times when we DRASTICALLY overrated a player that ended up flopping tremendously.

To get things kicked off...

I was all over that David Gettis train. I mean I rode in every cabin, held jobs as the conductor and engineer,....heck I even sang show tunes from the caboose when the train entered town.

Injuries took promise away, but I felt like the kid was pro bowl material...only to get cut from us and then cut again by other teams. Even sparring injury, there is no way he could have lived up to the hype I had created in my head.

 

There that felt good. Who is next?

-really, really believed in matt moore

-had similarly high hopes for clausen

-was hyped for david carr and thought he just needed to spend a few years on the bench and he'd take over when delhomme hung it up

-was on the "lol scammy scam laptop his dad tried to hock the BCS trophy can't run an NFL offense" train until cam's public workout

-wasn't a fan of the kuechly selection

-i was really intrigued by tank tyler and thought he'd develop into a great player for us.  also louis leonard and some of those other scrubby DTs we had at the tail end of the fox era

-bdjs (if you don't know what that means you need to learn the lore) until week 1 2009 when we reached the final frontier and it was obvious he was done

      Game thread

      By Brooklyn 3.0 · Posted

      It's sort of funny you guys were so bad with 3s tonight about the same time Silver and LeBron both say the game is broken due to too many 3 attempts. The NBA is almost unwatchable. No defense, refs call fouls for almost anything, guys care more about looking pretty on the court than playing tough, etc. Today's NBA is putrid.

      TV Coverage for this weeks game

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      It's gotten more complicated with the change of CBS and FOX no longer being exclusive AFC/NFC partners From a home team perspective, the NFL requires the home market (which is typically the broadcast reach of the station airing the game) to carry the game. For times where there is a conflict (let's say, FOX Charlotte is airing some major news event) then the broadcast will go to a local station that FOX Charlotte has an arrangement with -- like the CW, maybe.  Only in super-rare instances would local FOX throw the game over to a major competitor like to WSOC/ABC. But it could happen This is how games that are "exclusive" to streaming will end up being broadcast by a local channel in those home team markets -- because the NFL wants the local market to be able to see the game.  Amazon TNF games will always be available on some local channel in those teams' markets, for example. Or the upcoming Netflix games For TV markets that do not have a local team, then the local station gets to choose from what's available. Ideally, they'd choose a regional game or one that is close in the conference.  In Atlanta, for example, we would typically get one of the NFC South matchups for times when the Falcons aren't playing.
