A beat writer's opinion, seems everyone who is paid 4 sports don't like saying positive things. W/e., the Redskins have OL problems w/ a rookie QB, no one at WR outside Moss, it's a RB by committee, etc. IDK why they can be predicted 2 have a turnaround season but the Rams can't.
It seems everyone expects RG3 to have a better season than Cam Newton. People forget that a lot of the passing numbers Newton put up last year were because defenses were hurt more by the lost offseason, especially passing defenses. Things are going to be very different this year for Newton, and RG3.
Thomas never puts a positive spin on anything. He says he tries not bring his opinion into it, but every year his take is the same. Opinion or mind set?
I wasn't gonna say anything b/c I'm too paranoid about libel and stuff, but I get what you are sayin. If beat writers would become a little more positive then I know that people would get more exicted about the team. I'm not a big fan of JT. Appreciate his work in reporting and breaking news, but opinion..eh I think I can stick to my own.
On Newton: You are right. I'm lookin @ his game splits and if I'm reading it correctly, he threw for 1146 yards, 8 TDs no INTs in the 6 games the Panthers won and 2905 yards 13 TDs 17 INTs in the 10 games they lost. He also rushed for 8 TDs losses and 6 in losses. Not sayin that Newton isn't good, but he is overrated.
When Rams face RG3 it will be his 2nd game in the NFL. So let's see.
Interesting splits - thanks for that. I'll admit I didn't watch too many Panthers games (why would I?), but I think that kid's a stud. He's a big dude with wheels and I think he caught the league off-guard this year. Which, obviously, wouldn't be too hard with no film on him and no camp. I think this second year will say a lot about his abilities. And I KNOW there will be some people who (if he has a good sophomore year) will say, "See! Newton didn't suck like Bradford did HIS second year!!!!!" But, that's to be expected from those with an agenda. Last year was just a mess of circumstances that only worked against Bradford, and it's a shame that not everyone recognizes that.
Again, with J.T. -- meh. I can take him or leave him, but I do appreciate the information he provides.
Which, you know, is his job and all.
