Sportsonearth - Panthers have 2nd ranked front 7


Recommended Posts

Rankings are great for fans and the like. To me I could care less. Sure it's nice when your team/player is ranked highly. But at the end of the day, it means very little.

That said. We have a really good front 7. Definitely one of the best in the league. I can live with that.

Also, if Decoud and Cason, who are both still young, can return to previous levels. And Harper and White can play as well as expected. We should have one hellofa Defense again.

Not really, but feel free to think that. Steve Smith should still be here, and he's not because of the drama Gettleman caused. Gross would still be here if he hadn't pissed him off when he first got here. Lafell was gone, but you know poo was getting ugly when they made one last attempt to sign him back. They wanted Ginn back and refused to pay him, not that I blame him for that one. But he dropped the ball on not signing Nicks.

KB, Nicks, and 89 would put fear in defenses, you can't convince me otherwise. No need to cry over spilled milk tho, its done with. Just don't act like the decisions he's made this offseason were 100% the right thing to do. Different GMs would have handled things differently. Let's not forget that Hardy still doesn't have a contract, and if he ends up somewhere else next season then that will turn out to be a horrendous decision.

I love the fact that he went out and got his QB a guy who I believe will be a superstar in this league. I don't blame him for the LT position, because there really isn't anything he can do. That damage was done the moment he asked his Probowl LT to take a pay cut.

But his hands weren't tied, he made the decisions he thought were best for the team. Thats his job and time will tell if he made the right choices. But other roads could have been taken, he took his and we will see where it leads.

mislead much?

    • Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once. 
    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
