I hate to tell you, but I think Tepper is basically our GM when it comes to the key decisions

Probably the most physically limited QB I can ever recall being drafted in the 1st and probably even 2nd or 3rd rounds if I'm being honest. Forget #1 overall, forget 1st round. I honestly can't recall another QB with every physical red flag a QB can possibly have getting drafted even moderately highly. He's basically Stetson Bennett with a weaker arm.

Pretty much looked exactly like his INT from this Sunday. When he "throws with anticipation" this is usually the result. He's not reading the coverage correctly and he doesn't have the arm strength to squeeze the ball into tight spots to begin with. Combine the two and it's an abrupt change of possession.

Bryce was a disaster who looked physically and mentally overwhelmed at the NFL level right out of the gate. It wasn't like he showed promise early on.

The other two certainly can't be fixed.

Anyone with eyes could see that Bryce wasn't it and I honestly think the seeming commitment to Bryce from Tepper combined with a seasoned coach getting fired mid-season largely because of the ineffectiveness of Bryce severely limited our candidate pool. The job was likely viewed as a career suicide mission by most.

Meanwhile, David Tepper...

The problem is David Tepper. I'm completely completely convinced he's making the key football decisions. He runs the Panthers like Madden franchise mode toggling on and off the features he wants the AI (his actual football front office in this case) to handle while he handles the parts of the business he thinks is fun. High draft picks, key free agent signings, key re-signing, big trade deals, etc. That's where he probably steps in and makes the calls then he lets the football people deal with the day to day stuff of low low level FA signings, day three of the draft, low level afterthought trades, etc. I just can't be convinced that actual professional football people keep making such consistently awful decisions on their own accord.

It actually got talked about a decent amount here. I mean, it just doesn't matter. He doesn't have the physical talent. No amount of work he can put in is changing it.

Actual replay of the Eagles trying to finish that game

That's a potential season derailing loss. I mean, they REALLY blew it. From Barkley dropping the game sealing pass to the D just being an absolute matador down the field to give up the winning score. Wow.

That's as sorry if a clutch situation defensive outing as you'll see. Wow.

The Eagles' front seven is trash. They can't rush the passer and they can't stop the run. Do they have a bunch of guys hurt or something? I thought basically their entire D was UGA studs.

That injury has turned him into Bryce Young. He just cannot make the throws.

The Falcons better start spying Hurts and playing contain on the edges. Dude isn't even going through his reads because he doesn't need to. Running lanes for him everywhere. It's like they didn't even prepare for a running QB.

Physically he's built about the same as Bryce. But dude can run. I mean he can RUN run.

That dude was WIDE ASS OPEN and Cousins could just barely get the ball to him. They really need to just play Penix.

Cousins is shot. It's over for this dude. The Falcons gave a poo ton of money to a dude that is DONE.

I called this not long after the draft.

I think Sam Bradford's might still have the edge.

We were a team playing without a QB. We might as well have been wearing leather helmets since the forward pass wasn't part of our capabilities.

We couldn't find out who we are on offense because we were playing with a QB who couldn't throw the ball effectively beyond the LOS.

They're shocked he's no longer being coddled. Hell, I am too to be honest. But Bryce has been playing this game for a long time. No player who has been playing as bad as he has since suiting up in the NFL should be shocked they finally got benched.

The way Bo Nix is looking Zach Wilson is gonna be playing in Denver pretty soon.

Holy poo. LOL I'm gonna have to see if I can find that.
