Nix already has a couple 20+ air TDs this year. has fair amount of 30+ throws too Bo Nix threatens downfield way more than Bryce

Bears would be a better team if they benched Caleb and just rolled with him. He is a gamer. Doesn’t matter Caleb got talent. been a fan of his for awhile

AJ Terrell is out for the Falcons. So they are down their best corner.

maybe we should look at AJ McCarron or Greg McElory next.

What QBs threaten downfield less than Bryce Young? If there is one, it's got to be some weird cherry pick that doesn't compare to BY. Like the Eagles hammering the ball on the ground and playing D.

I'm assuming the thought is bring in a vet for short term stability. Find a youngster that you aren't forced to start week 1. So yeah, Wilson basically repeating what he is doing right now.

what could be realistic? I mean, I don't want it to happen at all and I would be totally against it.... but Russell Wilson has high odds of being available. Giants just renting him for a year. He is THE Seattle QB. He would check a lot of the boxes. He is doing it right now for NY and obviously the Canales/Seattle connection.

someone call Testaverde up

XL listed as questionable today

Tepper is on his 3rd GM . About 2 years is the current tenure

Atlanta has the #2 D and the #10 O after 2 games. Now, I'm not saying that is actually an accurate representation of them this early BUT it's hard to argue a bad team (like we are an actually bad team) could would be able to appear as such after 2 games no matter the competition.

Bryce really doesn't throw go balls. He throws sideline fades or underthrows.

we are in total agreement. I'm just kicking up rocks trying to figure out how you potentially could just suck less next week lol.

I believe after this Sunday.....my wife will once again, realize the Panthers stink......and therefore she will not let me get away with watching Sunday football if she has better "plans" for us. my Saturday afternoons are also now in jeopardy as well but there is still some hope there.

I mean, it's an old school offense in reality. You got to find players to make plays. The O isn't just going to create it with just anyone. I didn't say we needed a game breaking WR. We literally just need players that can push and hope to create some YAC because Bryce isn't' going to stress a D deep enough (which has fugged up the O every season he has played including Franks) AT and Renfrow included don't offer YAC at the slot. That's not what either are. Slot is the easiest place to get some. Obviously, I don't want my dude Renfrow benched. He has a purpose. But the Panthers need to start searching for solutions. We got zero real quickness on the field. And hell, I don't even know if Horn really offers it because the Panther preseasons tell you virtually nothing about dudes

Panthers desperately need someone they can rotate in that got real speed to hopefully turn some underneath stuff into bigger plays. Renfrow is great but he is just a chain mover. I do wish they would try to turn the slot into a 2 man show. Get Horn up for some light passing down work. But I get that's a lot of small bodies to have active game day that only do slot work.

in fairness, Saunders didn't block his guy on the handoff and Bryce didn't sell the quick screen at all. The one DE you are supposed to fool immediately sprints to attack XL.

I wish I could find that clip of Dave talking about himself. Dave isn't going to scheme up wins. It's going to be about the players in his O. Which just makes that QB spot so dang important. but yeah, you got to get DBs thinking we can attack beyond 10-15ish yards on a play...if not, secondaries just cheat responsibilities. If I had to guess/predict the most likely next Bryce INT? It's a safety making a play on a ball in front of him.

I think starting this week you gotta work in Tremayne out there. You don't got to bench XL but Tremayne just seems to be clearly a better WR at this stage (despite XL having the physical tools). I think waiting on Coker is malpractice.

but in terms of OP? What is Bryce supposed to say. The past couple seasons have made it well known there really is nothing to gain by listening to folks on a bad team have to answer questions about why they stink. They aren't going to be real or tell truths. It's just the spin zone.

yeah, XL didn't do anything actually week 2 like the toe thing week 1. Dave can't scheme him up a play. Those go horrible (like the handoff or the screen that wasn't really even a screen). Nothing was there. as for the rest, XL just isn't a good enough WR for his route running to shake himself open on some predictable routes. Most targets to him were off target or thrown to be contested balls. I will say this, XL does not play to his size though when a ball is up in the air. He doesn't seem to actually have any sort of advantage for a contested 50/50 ball. That's really a skill set more than size thing. Some dudes just go up great.

People just couldn't wait to move on from Ron/Hurney....

he was arrested and charged for Bright. That one was worse than Lucas

Charlotte FC might set the MLS record for consecutive wins this weekend and is going to back to back postseasons. Jump on board! The only good team in Charlotte!

I mean that's the model for 3 of the 4 wins last year. strong running day. Bryce plays off the run and isn't asked to do that much but make some basic throws...and needing to catch a weaker opponent. I think that last part is a big of an unknown. Is Atl still bottom of the pack.
