That's called purgatory. The problem is even in games where he is turning the ball over and largely terrible eventually it opens the door for garbage time stats that skew the conversation and simply serve as a tool for some to argue in favor of prolonging the inevitable. For a third year QB the only numbers that should hold weight are what he does in crunch time and when the game matters. Even in the recent dominating win there's just no meat on the bone there. Nothing that stands out.

Little early to be near blind drunk on a Monday isn’t it?

At the end of the day Renfrow was available for a reason. But ball placement matters and it has to get better. Renfrow hasn't been the only one affected by it either.

If it motivates them and they play well and back it up then more power to them. It's a two way street though.

Shutting out the Falcons is still a uniter for the fanbase for the most part. It's just not in the way it used to be or what it once was for multiple reasons. People who feel like they aren't seeing enough rejoice over it are missing the point. Instances like this would carry more weight if they were more frequent against our rivals for one. For two. This place also as has been noted before has taken on an echo chamber effect the last several years where all the losing has given way to factions of fans either fully apathetic or fully doubling and tripling down in defense of the powers that be and moves and decisions that have been made. And as a result from that the huddle has also moved to a distinct complete lack of outside views and chatter that in the past had been a source of change of pace entertainment and also more importantly a uniting force for fans here to rally around each other in opposition to. We used to have a number of Falcons fans visiting here over the years and driving home how much we dislike them. Same with the Saints. We even had some visiting Bucs fans from time to time. That's all long gone. Until we get back to instances like this becoming more commonplace nothing will change.

Not anything necessarily new in terms of what we already know. But it is good to see the team sending a message and putting it out there directly. https://www.newsweek.com/sports/nba/hornets-want-see-more-out-lamelo-ball-report-2133538

Tepper has no problem giving conmen generational wealth. But we still can't get the field quality right.

If you win 30-0 in a game where the opposing QB was so atrocious he might as well have been wearing a Panthers jersey and the best compliment you can give your own QB is at least he didn't turn the ball over. That's a bubble just waiting to burst. Panthers fans should understand this sort of thing as much as anyone in professional sports by now.

Jets played the Bucs pretty tough recently the Cowboys always give us problems outside of rare ones like 2015 and the Patriots or Dolphins could be a toss up.

Those 3 specific games are through November 2nd. So a little over a month. Not sure what we're arguing about.

In terms of QB matchups within the next month. Cowboys Bills Packers

Unfortunately Bryce Young won't be able to play opposite a QB gifting us points every week. We've got a tough stretch of games coming up. Some of you hardline Bryce guys might want to pace yourselves.

Yeah this is my worst case scenario. And unfortunately I cannot put it past the Tepper's and Morgan who have a massive vested interest in justifying the trade and selection.

Nobody was glazing Jimmy Clausen like this and for good reason. It isn't everyone else's fault some of you have lowered standards for a #1 overall pick beneath the earth's crust.

Completing passes more than 5 yards is now akin to throwing into double coverage "downfield" and "throwin bombs". Guys. You are in a cult. Full stop.

8 completed passes beyond 5 yards. 4 of which were on his first drive. That's 4 passes beyond 5 yards for the bulk of the game. Mind you we were only up 10-0 for some time before the defense forced turnovers. This is completely unsustainable.

Most people in this world would be lucky to see a few millions in their lifetime. This kid has already made $40 million. He'll be just fine buddy.

Least surprising news of the day.

I have acknowledged Baker's improvement here multiple times. He was given a huge helping of humble pie here and in Cleveland to get where he is now. And as I have already said he seems to be inching back toward that arrogant version of himself a bit based on these comments. You quoted me and took issue with that. That's on you.

Don't speak it into existence. It's like saying Beetlejuice 3 times.

Ryan Fitzgerald received the game ball. Good for him.

If you go to ESPN profile page for Bryce Young they have his updated YPA for today and a projection. It's not a weird enough year for one of the least physically imposing QB's in the league to only be averaging more yards per attempt than a struggling rookie project.

I mean he played like what 20 years? He's a hall of famer. Can't dispute that. Doesn't mean I was glazing him back when. If you're a Baker fan that's your choice. Doesn't jive for me. But different strokes for different folks.
