This staff is similar to the last one in that its all about defense. ST and O take a backseat. As long as we hold the other team to 10 points or fewer per game we can win.

Which is dumb in this day and age. I just don't get why the Panthers can't adapt to the new NFL. The rules are set up for teams to score 30+ PPG, yet here we are still trying to field an 85 Bears defense.

I'm not saying defense should not be a priority, but you don't need a top 5 defense to win superbowls anymore. Just a middle of the pack defense with a high powered offense is sufficient enough to CONSISTENTLY make the playoffs.

    • Yeah, banking on his hands, vertical, height etc. Thing is we have a processor with an average arm, not a gunslinger so he might not even get those 50/50's to even show what he can do. XL has some of the same BY issues, if he doesn't get some 50/50 throws his way he's going to be stuck catching a lot of expected shallow crossers aka dinks and dunks
    • Really like him. He will be great for Bryce. I hope he doesn't get a lot of push off calls as he did that on some of those catches. 
    • Everyone talks about how important it is to draft a QB in round 1 and have the "5th year option" I haven't seen it play out the well over the past several years. The good/great QB' aren't playing the first 5 years under their original deal.  After year 3 or 4 they are getting mammoth extensions. Having Penix take over in year 3 may actually save the Falcons some money over the next 5 seasons. I doubt they'd give him an extension after his first year as a starter if he took over the starting position after the guaranteed portion of Kurt Cousins new deal ends in 2025.   In terms of playing time, Penix 3 years as a starter would be ending with the 5th year of his rookie deal (assuming his option was picked up). The money Penix would be making in year 5 of a rookie contract would be significantly less than the upper echelon 5 year starters are making now.
