For anyone wondering why some members of this board suffer from black QB derangement syndrome (BQDS), I give you the unfiltered media reaction to Penix's 200-yard 1 interception performance against the worst team in the NFL:
For context, Penix's passer rating of 73.4 for this game would put him at 43rd in the league behind Deshaun Watson, Daniel Jones, Desmond Ridder and Will Levis. The Giants have one of the worst passing defenses in the league, allowing an average passer rating of 104.4. In fact, Penix's 73.4 pass rating appears to be the lowest number given up by the Giants defense all season.
If Cousins had an
identical game, the narrative would be "Falcons beat up on the lowly Giants while Cousins turns in another pedestrian performance" and the calls for Penix would continue.
