So is Penix going to be a thorn in our side for the next decade?

If we never get a serviceable defense, yeah

And some fans actually want to draft a QB with our first pick lmfao.

If Ward was there I'd do it. Other than that it's a hard no from me.

He's one of the oldest rookies in NFL history so I'd hope he looks ready. It's hard to gauge how good someone is when they are playing our defense.

Bro, he’s a year older than Bryce… you making sound likes he’s 30… he’s 24.

This draft? No way!  The guy on the other side of the ball is showing rookie QBs can compete at high level though.  It's not a given they have to struggle.  It's just a baked in excuse if they do look horrid.

He sucked at first then he realized he has 12 seconds to throw at UDFA corners and dogshit linebackers

[ForJimmy]

Penix is looking good. Literally any QB was going to look good against this patched up defense. I wouldn’t use this game to crown their QB. 

[Prowler2k18]

I’ve never seen a D at any level look this bad. I was initially on board with bringing Evero back due to the injuries and lack of talent but I’m fully onboard with a new defensive scheme and staff. This is downright embarrassing!

Can Bryce stop throwing swing passes when there are plays to make downfield? Give XL a chance to make a play like Penix is doing. Damn it. So fustrating 

He has for about 4 weeks

and hasn’t been coming down with them

Gonna be the most points allowed.

how many did they need for the most points allowed in a season? I know its 30-something. They already let up 24 points before halftime lol

Panthers Coaching staff amazed at WRs going up and playing the ball.

 

I was told that was an under throw last week.

Not when it's delivered on a line over the DBs shoulder. If it hangs & makes the receiver stop on route to wait allowing defender to catch up, that's an underthrow.

Right, he's a year older than someone in their second season. As I said, for a rookie, he's old.

[Cpt slay a ho]

Ridiculous, defense just laying down for the falcons 

clean house on the defensive staff no guts no glory 

[cmichd08]

I wonder how we became such a poor tackling team. I know we are playing a lot of subs, but these guys were taught from pop warner all the way through college how to wrap up.

On the first point, agreed, but older rookies are taboo for some reason.  I honestly don't get it.  On the second point, our bad defense aside, the ball placement, timing and decision making all look good. 

[electro's horse]

Throwing the same pass twice in a row in that situation is the most disrespectful poo I’ve ever seen lmao 

that was right in front of me. That second pass was a touchdown as soon as it left Penix’s hand. Whole crowd knew it  

Falcons games are such a better gameday experience than panthers. I say this as a psl owner.
