We won, but Bryce and Canalas still blow

Bryce didn’t pass deep at all, was throwing behind receivers, couldn’t consistently get first downs, and was generally unproductive after the first drive. 

That wasn’t dictated by the game score; that’s how the vast majority of his pro games have gone, even his “good” ones (I think most people have forgotten how the eagles game actually played out)

the fact that Penix was out there shitting on the field and rolling around in it and getting it on his clothes and feet and then walking into the house and touching all the walls isn’t relevant. 

This is just who Bryce at his general best is: 100-150 yards, around 12-15 completions, maybe one completion downfield, maybe a touchdown, maybe a turnover, maxing out at about 22 points depending on how bad the other team is. 

game flow had nothing to do with that.

Would you be okay with this being his ceiling. Middle of the pack QB who can do basically what needs to be done to win some games. Not a franchise QB nor a total bust. Average QB at best. 

 

Should they ride this train (if this is indeed the case), and just keep building the rest of the team out. To many needs to keep neglecting other aspects of the team for one guy. Let's face it, he is what he is.

 

By the way.....great win Panthers and just what we all needed. Good job

No. That is the definition of mediocrity. It looks great next to 2-15, I will concede that. 
He has to do better. He to be the reason, not the weak link.

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.

Offense is way down across the league

Personally I welcome the return of the dead ball era.

But yeah, we're still a horrifically flawed team that took advantage of the Falcons taking a poo on the field in basically every way imaginable.  I'm enjoying it but keeping things in context.

This may ruffle some feathers, but if we had and an average QB, we would have won by 50 points. Canalas still completely devalues the run when our best weapon is still Chuba. Make of it what you want but it’s fools gold. Bryce and Canalas will figure out a way to screw this up next week. 

STFU

You are preaching to the choir on this one Frank. I have been in a really bad fan mood since they did the deed, because I saw years of this coming, which did come, and because of all the mass hysteria along the way whenever he doesn’t fail. 
It is like TDS but in reverse.

ATL out gained Panthers in total, rush and pass.

The game was won by ST mainly by field position. I mean BY just needs around 35 yards and they were in FG range a few times.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
