It's the most important and impactful position and it's not close. And on top of being bad, Young makes the O boring. PJ Walker bad would lead to more convos. Because the play would be more entertaining and there would be zero concern the horrific nature of the QB spot could extend beyond this year (and that is why the convo stays on Bryce because the threat remains).

Bryce has 1 anomaly game to his career 33 game career. That's it. I think if you look at his deep throws paired w/ Canales and omit that one game that just makes zero sense.... Bryce is like 5 for 24 when going 20+ yards w/ 3 INTs. And keep in mind, prior to that week 18 game folks were claiming he was the best deep passer in the league lol because of how PFF chooses to reward a contested ball.

it's early, that garbage time of that Cards doing a lot of work presently in that average to get us up to 24

Every situation is different. Context matters. Carolina SHOULD have one of the better pass attacks in the NFL. That is what should be expected of them. We SHOULD have a bad defense. Only one of those actually played out. So for us to win games, the entire design and choice Carolina made.... was to have the pass attack make up for what we lacked elsewhere at this point in time. When you go all in on offense at the expense of the defense...you judge it accordingly. This is a stat we should be expected not to stink at.

It’s year 3

I mean, the Tepper Panthers are the worst pro team in all of professional sports. If we aren’t a team that makes you fire people, then a team doesn’t exist.

#2 run D allowing 2.8 per carry. Cardinals, Cowboys and *Ravens are technically worse. Ravens playing tonight

Hunter would be the talk of the NFL right now if the QB would have simply put the ball in target the past 3 weeks when he was open. CPOY leading candidate

Falcons OC now being moved from the box down to the field When you lose to the Panthers, life gets very uncomfortable for folks

I just think Renfrow is just small…..and that highlights Bryce’s ball placement/accuracy issues. Especially given the routes Canales is sending Renfrow on. they need to actually let Renfrow run his specialty and then mix Tremayne or Coker (pending XL gets back on the field) in for the more downfield stuff (bigger targets problem solve more for Bryce). I think the Renfrow issue is just a QB that can’t put it on him. And it’s a completely different world putting a ball on Renfrow than TMac Some of this is also just Dave. Renfrow and AT aren’t the same. They can’t play like each other. I think Dave largely has just plugged Renfrow into ATs gig. Which was spoken about before the season kicked. Renfrow is an actual slot WR. AT just played in the slot

NFL defenses have shifted to a trend of 2 high to take away the deep vertical balls and limit explosive plays/offenses.

Syracuse fined for faking injuries vs Clemson to muck up the Clemson O. Guess Cade was right on that. First I have seen a team fined for that

True, but he frankly has been open enough he should be league in the CPOY race with good balls thrown to him. Renfrow has been open and Renfrow doesn’t have a hands issue. now does Bryce frankly need the Gettlemen WR logic to be applied and need big targets? I’d say so. I also think Canales doesn’t really know how to use Renfrow and just plugs him into AT role (and they aren’t the same type slot WR)

You putting Renfrow in with XL? Renfrow has been doing his job. The connection issues are largely on the QB and playcaller. I do think we need slot diversity and Bryce really needs more of a TE than slot WR in the slot. Which was AT.

I actually think this aligns perfect. A Ludacris concert at 10:00am that feature a sparse crowd of random 45 year old moms in attendance....before past their prime greats of Dabo and Belichick compete in a battle of he can lose to the other in an ugly game of football.

Renfrow has played virtually the entire game both weeks 1 and 2. I think this was just about David Moore getting XL's role. And thus mathematically the only way to get Tremayne work was to limit Renfrow. Which Renfrow probably should be limited....just not this way. You don't want David Moore playing a full game because he stinks. But he is Canales' dude. Tremayne or Coker or even Horn should be working in to diversify with Renfrow in slot looks.....but you need Coker or Tremayne opposite Tmac when that happens.

I think it is pretty simple. Bryce has lead the NFL in bad throw % since arriving in the NFL. His ball placement often leaves a lot to be desired often. Renfrow is tiny. Tiny wingspan. So it's really going to highlight the fact Bryce doesn't really put the best balls out there for people w/ someone small like Renfrow.

last week the QB finished horrifically when the gimme ball was taken off the table. Couldn't move the ball 1 yard when it mattered. Bryce Young is a backup caliber QB. The issue is the issue. This game altered nothing in the Bryce convo. It was a variant of last years AZ game only in this game the opposing QB was comically bad and they gifted us one. The people calling out the O and the issue in Carolina....are making the most easy and in your face call. It's not even in the realm of controversial in reality. Bryce Young is not what any team wants at the QB spot. We don't need to keep this silliness up past this year.

wish the base look would just be Tmac and Tremayne outside w/ Renfrow in the slot. For all the talk of Canales saying play the youth.....he shouldn't be putting his boy David Moore out there so heavily vs Tremayne. Who might be this years Coker.

and Tremayne and Renfrow both had more yards than Moore. Canales put his boy out there to replace XL. His boy stinks.

well we got a football next week and a whole bunch more after that.... how many QBs you think are going to gift us like Penix did going forward? I'd say not many. Likely none. So, yeah, reality of what we are still matters. Unless Penix is going to take the field Sunday and lay an egg in New England our bad offense is still what we need to see get on track and show improvement.

Go watch his call placement to Renfrow on the year. Or basically every WR that isn’t an eraser like TMac who can just pull of some insanity. he should have a high completion % given where a mass % of his throw locations are

Dude literally collects a paycheck to put out positive Panthers PR Bryce Young doesn’t get rattled? Well, that’s how you know. Because we all know he gets rattled.

Ok, boss. It’s not like it hasn’t been a pretty consistent thing for to do a lot of barking and lecturing preseason….and then opting not to post when it it goes poorly (predictably so). you can call it complaining….but its really just being right about Bryce and the O for 3 straight seasons and again, just like I have entered every season saying it’s not about wins or losses….its not. Clearly we are a team that has spent all their resources on developing a healthy and functional offense….THAT still remains what everything is about. We aren’t built to be competitive by design. We have been throwing everything at the O. Penix being a trainwreck and us getting one of the few wins we would always stumble into doesn’t alter the convo about us going forward. The O is the convo in Carolina

Bar is on the floor boss. And he remains way too inaccurate even in the most conservative asks of a gameplan.
