Some Kuechly and Cam bits from our favorite PFW

they'd be right. i think most people talk out of their asses when talking about teams they don't follow all that much, doesn't matter what your job is in the league, for the most part they're going to be just as ill-informed as the rest of us about other teams.

exactly that's why i always take these articles, skip bayless, and cowturd with a grain of salt. I don't get upset, I laugh and move on. I remember when Skip Bayless said The Golden Calf of Bristol was a better pure passer than Cam Newton before the draft. I rarely watched Cam play in college, and I am no evaluator, but that was just so blatant it turned me off from pretty much everything i heard on ESPN. If this is ESPN's "most watched" programming, what does that say about the rest of the company? It's dumb to even continue pointing this out like many have done for the past 2 years. Lets just ignore this poo, focus on what we know, debate what we know and have fun doing that. Cause this other poo is just beyond ridiculous.

Bingo!!

I don't have a problem when a so called "analyst or broadcaster" has a differing opinion on player. My problem is, when they offer these opinions (especially when they're wildly off), when it's obvious they haven't done the research, have a fundamental understanding or actually watched the player or team.

From that point on, you can just ignore the rest of what they say. This happens, waaaay to often in the business. And that's why you have to take a lot of what these people say with a grain of salt. It happens.

pfw is better than espn and a lot of places out there. doesn't make them infallible, just better.

those are meant to be off the cuff statements made by industry people. it's not a newton smear agenda.

he's not even talked about all that much.

it was just one little blurb made by someone talking about kaepernick. nothing more to read into it than that. it's not what people are making it out to be.

I'm waaaaaaay off Newton here. I'm not even talking about him anymore. I already commented on the article and moved on.

I'm talking about many of the people on NFL Network and ESPN--in general (for example), who readily offer their opinion.

Many people take what these people say as the Gospel, when so many are less informed (at least about certain teams, coaches and players) than many here even. However, it's not always their job to know what they're talking about (that's an individual decision). But it is their job to offer an opinion, provide entertainment or create chatter.

Trust me, I'm well aware how the business is (though I appreciate it). ;)

It reminds me of that former 'Aints FB on NFLN who was debating with i think Champ Bailey and was saying that Chip Kelly wouldn't make a good coach because he didn't win a National Championship. The other dude (Champ I think) was like the, "THE DUDE WENT 46-7, after YEARS of mediocrity," and the baldheaded meathead was like, "yea he wont make a good coach though cause his defense was poo and he didn't win a national championship." He was legitimately getting mad. It's pretty much like a drunken conversation someone would have when you are so drunk that you are rambling utter nonsense. It is the NFL network for christ sake.

Yeah, I think you're talking about Heath Evan's.

He's used to play at Auburn, I think to, as well.

If he is faster than Cam, it is barely... plus Cam is twice as strong, and much harder to bring down.

Cam opened the door, so that guys like Keapernick(sp) could even get a chance.

Hey I love Cam but cmon man give another player some credits.

We're not arguing who's stronger or harder to bring down. What does that even have to do with speed? Kaep is a much faster player than Cam and his burst, first step is faster.

Now, you go and tell me that Cam is the reason why people opened the door for a player like Kaep. You gotta be JOKIN!!!! Both of them were drafted in the same year bro!!! It's guys like Warren Moon, Steve McNair, Culpepper, and Vick who opened the door for guys like Cam, Kaep, Wilson and RGIII.
