CRA

Ok. Well, same thing. It wouldn’t be wild to tell him we are cutting you and given we created a gigantic clusterfug that is going to hurt your image…..you can say you wanted out.

I didn’t think he would translate but he certainly does

Lot of NFL is PR and bologna though. In real time, teams often say things publicly that are different behind the scenes. with Bakers comments today, it wouldn’t be wild for the Panthers to just say we are trading you…..and we will be happy to put it out there you wanted out to make it not look as horrible for you and your career

Right opponent

He has been asked to game manage his entire career. He is the opposite of perfect in that role. It occasionally happens

If you look at the 2020 charts….even Teddy was somewhat consistently getting it 30+ most weeks. that helped his check down game and gave all those guys room to set career highs Bryce is way less threatening than Teddy

It’s how far a ball is thrown in the air and where on the field. Shows where completions, incompletions, TDs or INTs are.

2023 - I didn’t care about wins or losses. I cared about Bryce and the O developing 2024 - I didn’t care about wins or losses. I cared about Bryce and the O developing 2025 -I don’t care about wins or losses. I care about the Bryce question and watching our young players develop. it’s nice to see a win on the board vs a loss. In the end, what we are supposed to care about is the offense (because that’s literally all we have been devoted and investing in to the detriment of the roster). Move on or stay, that’s all this season ultimately is about. 3 games in, it’s the same repeating story

Ball in hands. Eyeball test? 100% the answer is Bijan. He also had some big receptions in the first half. Falcons whack gameplan like their 7 pass 2 run scripted opening was all talked about live. They had one run run all first half. Penix then intentionally took a penalty on 3rd and 1….because he didn’t want to run it lol

Bijan looked like the best player on the field first half IMO. When he occasionally got the ball though. I just didn’t see it as some great rush D effort. Seemed it was just Penix and a horrific gameplan more than anything

Falcons averaged 5.5. Bijan averaged 5.7. Penix just imploded the game and it was heavy Penix from the jump. I would wager a run run pass didn’t exist for the Falcons today

Falcons averaged 5+ a carry.

Penix was basically bad Bryce.

Negative. Most just acknowledge Penix pullled a bad Bryce day and totally gifted us one. Just horrible QB play that took the Falcons totally out of that game

Caleb Williams’ first quarter highlights today trump a mashup of the greatest plays Bryce has made in his entire career. 2 bomb TDs.

The biggest issue on the team even on a fantastical day…..did nothing to boost his stock. Seems like an unavoidable convo given we got 14 more games ahead

I did the same in my money league. And Falcon kicker as a cherry on top.

Shout out to Penix. Our real MVP.

We weren’t so much dominating on D most of that game as it was just Penix being horrible. Plays were clearly there to be made on our D. Atlanta’s issue is what our issue so often is….when we gift games and make meh defenses look like the 85 Bears. Thats Bryce. Not our opponents being great. Today was Penix doing that. the fact we don’t have an offense….is going to remain a massive issue when teams aren’t gifting us.

BY is our QB. Unless you have to throw, you really don’t want to throw

Well, if you were paying attention Canales basically went into don’t let Bryce screw it up hardcore mode edition just up 10 points half way into the game. Penix made that choice not costly just because he was horrific today. More football exists after today. The fact we don’t have a legit QB is still THE talking point as they go forward.

It’s his career bro. The only point is today alters nothing. O did nothing today outside of the scripted opening drive. you get gifted a game like this MAYBE once or twice a season. So all the warts are still going to be relevant as we go forward

Bryce hasn’t really done anything….which is largely the signature to a Panther win. Don’t be a trainwreck and hope our RBs or D have an abnormal day to get a win. It’s backup level QB play. and that’s been basically every win we have found in his career. Minus the one anomaly game. but yeah, he hasn’t kept us from winning a game Penix gift wrapped. Thats 100% correct. But Bryce hasn’t looked like a starting NFL QB a single game this season. And it’s year 3.

The formula to win with Bryce is crystal clear. Ask him not to do much and not mess it up….hope others can go win you a game. Which has been basically every win minus the 1 game anomaly to his career. Which is why the wins are so rare….because it’s rare our D or run game can win a game with just don’t screw it up for us QB play
