This is such an awesome read now (old Adam Schein article)

[Davidson Deac II]

To be honest, the article itself is not interesting, but our reaction to it is.  There is no reason to get insulted over the article. Most prognosticators were predicting we would finish near the bottom of our division this year.  They had no reason not to because we had not shown any significant progress other than beating up on some sub 500 teams and Atlanta at the end of last year.  If you look at the preseason prediction threads, it seems that 50% or more of our own fans were predicting we improve slightly if at all.   If so many of our own fans were skeptical, why should we expect more from outsiders.

 

Most predictions are made based on past results not on some personal animus against a specific team.    Next year, most will likely predict that we finish first or second in our division.

god forbid someone that gets paid to write articles for the NFL itself actually know anything at all about the sport and its teams

Get over it you bunch of sensitive little children.

 

How many of these guys get paid to "prognosticate" and will say, "I don't know, Carolina might be good, Tampa Bay might surprise, Atlanta might still be good and the Saints will probably win some games."

 

None.

 

they will always have to make definitive statements about things, else, nobody would care what they say and they would never cause any conversations nor questions with their comments.  Look at people like "Kazoo" from ESPN.  People ask Clayton his opinion about football all the time and he has never had a clue, but he still says "stuff".  Look at the Swami who goes about 25% with all his predictions, yet, he still has a segment.  Bottom line, this guy is no different than the guys who said after our 12-4 season a few years ago, that we would be back on top.  Then we sucked.  Did you whine and moan about those preseason predictions?

 

It happens both ways and is nothing more than a crap shoot, so be a bit more reasonable.

Agreed. 

 

But the reason why people pick on and criticize Schein; cause he appears to hate Carolina and Cam by repeatedly picking on them and making salacious, untrue statements. 

 

It's OK not to know much about a team. We get that. But if you don't; please don't make grandiose, personal and untrue statements about the team. Just pick another one, you know a little better, unless you're a doofus of course. 

 

This guy is not that far from Nolan Nawarowki, with the stuff he's said about Cam and the Panthers. 

 

It's not random. It's quite personal, it appears.

Yeah, who could have ever predicted that a third-year QB would continue to mature and improve?  That's so far out of the bounds of reality, we HAVE to give guys like Schein a pass!

 

Yeah, many people forget he was 23 when he was expected to help lift up pro football in the Carolinas

You can find more hateful and personal attacks on this team by just reading the Huddle.

On his defense though this little fug posted on his twitter a few weeks ago that he took back everything he said about the Panthers.  :)
