You guys have just as much to prove

I'm sick of Arizona and this whole me against the world thing they have going like they have more to prove and play for. Carolina needs this game to me even more then just Arizona just trying to "prove people wrong". I mean come on, its a blessing that Jerry Richardson gets to see these guys, I pray that he get to see a superbowl even in his darkest hours, he is a great man and best friend of our Owner Robert Kraft. And hey, Carolina needs this win for their growing city of Charlotte, the people, the fans, the kids, esp after loosing that Giants game to put some smiles on their faces, and alot of people without jobs here and so forth. The city of Charlotte needs something to believe in and celebrate and what greater than a Carolina Superbowl win or another Superbowl appearance. With only Nascar, (Bobcats stay have some ways to go, great job beating my Celtics though) and nothing else to cheer for and those players are stand up good character guys who fight the good fight and never give up. Carolina needs this win way more than Arizona IMO. Arizona is just trying to prove they belong. Carolina has worked towards getting back to this moment ever since Jake came back, and ever since coming 3 pts short of loosing the Superbowl. And what an inspirational story for Jake Delhomme who backed up Kurt Warner in NFL Europe to come back from TOMMY JOHN SURGERY of all things!

Is this a backhanded compliment? It seems as though you believe we need pity or something. I think Charlotte is in pretty good shape. It's not like we're Nawlins, Cleveland, Detroit or some other sh*t city.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
