Falcons averaged 5.5.  Bijan averaged 5.7.  

Penix just imploded the game and it was heavy Penix from the jump.  

I would wager a run run pass didn’t exist for the Falcons today 

Their second series was a run run pass. They had a couple others in the first half and others in the second. Throughout the first half their first down runs were yielding 2-3 yards, so it's difficult to go run run pass.

Definitely Penix made a ton of mistakes but the run D was pretty good in the first half.

Should a number 1 overall pick come out carrying a team?  No

 As Bryce continues to grow and get better we'll get more games from him and the offense carrying the load

The amount of pass attempts show me a staff and a team who are not afraid to pass.  They are not protecting Bryce 

Alright. People here need to push back more against this kind of cult like rhetoric.

Bryce Young has 31 starts under his belt. He is a first overall pick. He has $40 million guaranteed. There is absolutely no logical reason to continue to coddle him while simultaneously declaring the 32nd pick of the 2024 draft a bust in 15 career starts.

This is insanity.

Bijan looked like the best player on the field first half IMO.  When he occasionally got the ball though.   I just didn’t see it as some great rush D effort.  Seemed it was just Penix and a horrific gameplan more than anything 

He touched the ball 12 times or something in the first half...  He was definitely involved. But the majority of his runs were for 2 or 3 yards. He was still the best player out there.

The rushing stats were skewed. The defense is better but it’s still worse than what we have had in the past. It’s probably at 2021/2022 level. It has just been historically bad in recent memory so seeing this progress is very refreshing. 
 

Honestly, if our defense played at just below average level, we probably would have won 2-3 more games last season.

Definitely not 21/22 level 2012 level.

His runs 1st half.  3 good runs. Cra is just blathering about nothing. Best player on the field?

I wrote quite a few paragraphs to support my argument that we are not coddling Bryce.  I've never said nor do I believe XL to be a bust.  He needs to same chance to learn and grow.  

His first 16 starts did more to set him up for failure and is something I see as him having to overcome and not something to really judge him on.  It came extremely close to ruining whatever career he ends up having.  

He has not played like a first round pick yet but has flashed numerous times the skill to be a franchise QB.  Fan expectations for first round picks, especially at QB, are just not realistic.  Cam was a unicorn.

He had some great receptions too tbf. They were getting him involved. But yeah, he basically had half his yards on two carries and did relatively little the other carries. Our D was clearly keyed in to him.

Steve Wilks 

That's cold but he's got a point. Wilks and staff got blown off the field with Baker Mayfield in the first half against the Bengals.

At the same time I do think Baker Mayfield has to take some level of ownership of his immaturity and arrogance that carried over to the Panthers from the Browns.

What you described in the quote is coddling.

And nobody is asking for Cam 2.0. That's ridiculous and you know it.

Hes a good player who had no affect today.

Do you have that stat line in mind yet for what a #1 overall is supposed to do at a minimum yet?

You have the time, so let's hear it bby. Stop coddling yourself and put something definitive down.

      Very intrigued how Morgan and Canales handle the offseason

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      Dan tends to attack one specific position group per offseason and the sprinkle others throughout the roster. He extended Moton, signed Hunt, Lewis, Nijman one offseason and then extended Brown and signed Wharton and Hunt and drafted Jackson next offseason. My guess is he attacks LB and Edge this offseason.    1. What do you do with Icky? Likely a scratch for next season and due a massive contract (if healthy) They will bring back Nijman and Christensen and draft a guy on Day 2 is my guess and hope one of them can fill the hole. 2. Coker has the talent for 2nd WR, but do you pay a guy who gets hurt that premium? I think hes your number 3 simply due to risk. Will the Panthers seek another vet or go surprisingly high in the draft? They will probably sign him more and longer than the RFA Tender to keep him happy and not break the bank in the process. Can see them getting a Vet in FA like Tutu Atwell or Hollywood Brown. Somebody with speed but also isn’t overly expensive. I think Horn and Tremayne stick around and unfortunately Legette. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tremble released and a real TE in brought in, there is a good FA group this year. 3. Do you give X more feature time? Or cut bait now? I wouldn’t be surprised if they traded him but I’m willing to bet he gets one more year. Maybe Canales can find a role like Shenault had with McAdoo.  4. Planning the long term/short term on OL Like I said I think Christensen and Nijman are brought back for T with a Day 2 rookie and prayer something sticks. Moton, Hunt, Lewis return ofcourse. Probably resign Corbett as a safeguard at Center but I think they go C in the 1st or 2nd. Wouldn’t be shocked to see Morgan trade to the back end of the 1st to get a solid C and add picks. 5. How do you address LB? I think Rozeboom leaves. Hoping CJ Allen or Sonny Styles is still there is too big of a risk. They probably go get Kaden Elliss or Leo Chenal and pay good money for them. Maybe a guy on Day 3 for depth with Cherelus and Martin-Scott. Also think he takes a swing at Edge, wouldn’t be shocked to see Hendrickson or Oweh here.  6. Do you bank of Chuba bouncing back?    I think Chuba remains Chuba. There are some decent change of pace backs out there this year that will be cheap. Still developing Etienne and Brooks may be healthy. I think it’s Chuba and that crew maybe a veteran that’s not Dowdle. More like Deejay Dallas who was here already once.  I also think Dalton calls it and they get an upgrade at back up. Nobody that would endanger Bryce’s job but somebody that isn’t 55 years old either. Trubisky, Minshew, Pickett, Kyle Allen (yes same one).

      This is my answer. If I got board I would just do guest drop ins to obscure podcasts but would definitely collect the cash from Tepper.
