Not only are the Panthers the worst team in the league right now, Bagent didn’t even win the game either of those games, he just did enough to not lose. These stats with no context are ridiculous. And those raiders literally just fired their coach midseason 😂😂
He played really well against the Raiders, wasn’t anywhere close to just doing enough not to lose, next time just say you didn’t watch the game and just looked at the box scores 😂
Bagent is doing exactly what you'd want your backup to do, which is not lose games. But if my playoff bound team lost the starter right before the wild card round and he had to start, I'd have big concerns.
I think all he's really done is ensure he's going to be on a roster as a backup for years to come, which is a great gig to have.
Except he was the main reason they lost to the Saints. 4 turnovers leading to short fields.
They're 2-2 with Bagent, right? That's generally the hope for any backup.
I think the opponents are also very important to consider. They're not 2-2 if they had to play nearly anyone except the Panthers and Brian Hoyer/McDaniels Raiders.
Yup. As long as he stays healthy he has an NFL job until he’s 30 and he’s earned it thus far.
Exactly. You don't need him to play at starter caliber, though you dream of having a backup who can. You want your backup to be able to play just well enough to keep the boat afloat until the starter is back. Nobody wants a backup playing a playoff game unless it's Nick Foles in Philly.
Fields wouldve done something that causes them to lose.
Bruh I swear this happens every year. A backup comes in, does the absolute bare minimum but wins because they face some terrible teams and all of a sudden “The starter would’ve lost them those games.” They just beat the worst team in the league with no offense and a team so bad they fired their coach midseason. The only competent team they faced blew them out of the water.
Bagent threw for exactly 162 yards in both wins. It’s weird that it was exactly the same number. Idk how anyone can look at a guy who threw for 162 yards and say he had anything to do with winning that game. Foreman and the defense have been making him look a lot better than he is.
How many wins has Fields had since he came starter?
