Cooper Rush played — he had a QBR of 2.6, took four sacks and barely managed to crack 100 yards on an offense that leaned heavily into Bijan Robinson targets.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Falcons' QB uncertainty and Rush's poor play threaten Pitts' passing game floor.

Pitts' stock is down after Week 1 despite the source not recommending dropping him. Cooper Rush's abysmal QB play (QBR of 2.6, four sacks, barely 100 yards) limited the Falcons' passing game, but the source is concerned that the Falcons may not find a reasonable passing game floor going forward. Michael Penix's timeline and impact are unknown, Tua Tagovailoa's situation has become concerning, and Jack Strand is the fourth-string option. The source expected more from Pitts against the Steelers with Rush under center and would not blame anyone for putting him outside the circle of trust in Week 2 against the Panthers.
