For a secondary that was doubted....

We currently have the best pass defense in our division, top 15 in the NFL. I know its 3 games but its a great start, and im bringing this up because i was just watching 1st Take and the question was who would you take as a QB, Cutler or Cam? (since they play this week) and Skip said Cutler because we had the worst Pass D in the NFL which was false because i just looked it up, LOL. (Skips a Cutler lover so he lost more respect on that).

But im real proud of our boys tho. Keep it up.

nonsense, the Panthers are godlike and you better hope your precious Eagles stay away from us or Cam will play defense just to break Vick in half!!!!

after 3 games I think rankings and stats are totally worthless at that level, because it's influenced far too much by opponents, game conditions (as pointed out above) etc.

I do think our pass defense's biggest weakness is the occasional blown coverage that leads to huge plays, but otherwise it's improving. Still a young group of guys in a new system with a lot of room to go, but right now, they are still a major work in progress...

also, maybe I'm a pessimist but I would take Cutler vs Panthers D over Cam vs Bears D, but I think this will be a hard fought game.

U can easily say Skip is right considering the Panthers have had the least passing plays against them so far while giving up the most total yards per pass attempt. So no team gives up more yards per pass attempt than the Panthers currently, but don't let facts get in the way. Sorry for the buzzkill.

Their pass defense clearly isn't top 15, but it's not dead last. They've given up some big plays(the Jeff King broken coverage TD, the Jordy Nelson TD, Greg Jennings, etc) but for the most part they've been pretty solid. Mid 20's is where I'd rank it. There are much worse teams.

oh well, at least our star corner didn't get bent over by the super star we all know as Victor Cruz ;)

Mid twenties is bad...

The defense has been aggressive and has given up big plays as a result. If we can find a nickel and get Pugh off the field or he grows more I think we can get better. I give a lot of credit to Gamble and Munnerlyn though.

    • And that’s where a lot of people struggle to see it with Bryce Bryce is never physically going to “wow” anyone. Which will ultimately keep him out of that elite QB tier.  Burrow, Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, Maye, Stafford People want to put Herbert in that tier because he’s the ultimate highlight type QB. Highlights in this day and age trump just about everything. I’m more inclined to put Dak in that category than Herbert.  Then there’s the tier before the elite group. That’s where I believe Young’s ceiling is. Which is fine. You better have a good team and a good coach around these types though.  I believe Bryce has a higher ceiling than Goff. Put Young on Detroit and that team has a higher ceiling. Would also have a lower floor but you’d take that.  Bryce doesn’t have many true ‘wtf’ moments. He definitely did his rookie year. Granted the bulk of his “supporting cast” and HC are out of the league now and were well on their way out when the arrived here.  Due to lack of physical traits and what made Bryce good at Bama this NFL thing was and still is going to take time with him. He’s adjusting to NFL defenses.  So sure, we’re kind of in a pickle. Do we keep Bryce and have something like the 10th best QB in the league paired with Canales whose ceiling is probably similar at his position or do we keep doing what we’ve been doing since 2017? This team has been an absolute mess since Tepper took over. He’s finally seeing some wins. I’m all for spending a day 3 pick every year on a QB with traits. But for the time being Young is definitely our best option in 2026 and it would be tough to imagine us having a better option at this point in 2027 as well I know how much the huddle loves charts but this wasn’t happening his rookie year. This chart is 2 weeks old but point remains. It’s also why I said Dalton would be useless against Buffalo. Bryce has done a real good job at avoiding sacks this year and then making something happen. Bryce is fully capable of giving you those 4-5 big plays you need from a QB a game. Those 4-5 big plays just look a lot different than the 4-5 big highlight type plays you get from those physically gifted QB’s
    • 5 games without a turnover, the defense has surprised me a lot this year. Second to last in sacks, yet still getting the job done, impressive. 
    • Dave “Uncanny” Canales His choices are often inexplicable, but work absurdly well about half the time.
