If you want a flag magnet OT that throws defenders into your QBs knees and destroys your RBs running lanes while failing to pick up stunts because he chases defenders down the line, then Penning is the OT for you.

If he were not lacking a great deal of discipline and awareness I'd take him too. Do you think Rhule can coach him up with discipline and awareness?

Quite possibly the easiest and most expected attributes to coach. In fact that’s peanuts to some of the characters coaches are tasked with keeping under wraps. Not worried about this in the slightest and honestly not sure anyone would in general, even with Rhule.

The techniques of an oline INVOLVE hiding dirty plays more than any other position in the entire sport, it’s simply a matter of learning the art than stopping it altogether. 

The kid has what you can’t coach and lacks what’s easiest to coach imo.

The big thing with Penning (and scouts have hit on this) is that he needs to play with more consistent leverage and hip bend. He stands straight up quite a bit and just used his brute strength to overpower guys which won’t be as successful in the NFL.

Worst case scenario though is that he kicks inside and is a mauler guard like Norwell was for us.

The "half"squat in the clip is horrendous. Not sure why anyone would include that. It just highlight his issue with the bend.

Have you heard of the DBO sign? Problem solved

Yeah his technique is pretty poor but I’m guessing that doesn’t matter at UNI because the d-lineman he is going up against are probably sub 300 lbs. and just can’t match his strength.

You're right. That sign seemed to solve the Panthers problems in 2021, we just cant see it yet. Hopefully, they make Rhule stare at it all practice long and fire the idiot who created that sign.

Nothing saids champion mindset or winning culture like a sign to negatively reinforce a pattern of self-deprication.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
