What A Difference Three Weeks Make

Three weeks ago Jim Grobe had one foot in grave of fired football coaches and today he has hung another first year coach up to dry.  NC State who yes has injuries but who doesn't expected to go Winston Salem and beat Wake Forest and put and end to the ten year drought but what happened they played as if B B&T was haunted.

What does Jim Grobe do to his players that when another in State school comes to their house Wake plays as well as they have played all year and each in state school plays as poorly as they will play all year.  You know we are all creatures of happen and most teams keep  their players in a hotel even during home games.  I wonder if the bus ride over the day of the game is some of the problem or shoud every in state team stay in Winston the night before.   What ever the answer Jim Grobe knows  something that nobody else knows.

Looking at the offensive leaders in the new NFL there is not one of the new so called run/pass quarterbacks in the tops of the league. Peyton Manning a drop back, Drew Bree's a drop back, Tony Romo a drop back, Aaron Rogers a drop back and Philip Rivers a drop back QB are on record setting paces to break for scoring, points, touchdown passes and who knows what other records that might fall before this year is done.  Anybody notice that all those drop back QB's play every week while those new breed QB's stay on the sidelines more than they play.

The plight of the Carolina Panthers and Cam Newton.  Is his issue the coach is holding him back or is Cam Newton another Vince Young?  The world of professional sports when it comes down to who is the problem is it the coach or player the coach will go first.  The looming issue is this is the last year of Newton's rookie contract so somebody in Charlotte needs to decide do they need a new coach or do they need a new  quarterback?  the answer just might mean they need both.
