Kalil was 2nd team, the rest were 1st team...

Quarterback: Cam Newton, CAR ( +5.4 )

He lead the Panthers on a big comeback against the Bears, and did it with his arm as opposed to his legs. When he’s this good, the Panthers become a very difficult team to beat, while the Bears have now having gone up against our highest graded quarterback each of the past two weeks.

Tight End: Greg Olsen, CAR ( +3.6 ) Though he lost Steve Smith in the offseason, Cam Newton can still rely on tight end Greg Olsen. He looked his way nine times on Sunday, resulting in six receptions for 72 yards and a pair of scores. All that with a decent effort as a run blocker thrown in for good measure.

Linebackers: Luke Kuechly, CAR ( +5.5 ) and Thomas Davis, CAR ( +4.1 ) It’s the Carolina pairing of Kuechly and Davis starting at linebacker in our Team of the Week this week, with Kuechly the star of the show. He may have allowed nine receptions through the air, but they went for a total of just 47 yards. It was a similar story for Davis, who allowed four receptions for 20 yards, with both looking solid against the run too.

Doesn't seem to get enough snaps given the impact he makes. Only 34 snaps yesterday, second lowest of the season.

 

I don't think that's a coincidence that he played very well and had a low snap count.

 

It shows how important a d-line rotation is and also why losing Hardy and Alexander can severely damage our substitution plan.

    • Bryce Young has recorded 4 game-winning drives through nine weeks, leading the Carolina Panthers to crucial victories in tight contests. The 12-play, 58-yard clock-killer versus the Packers in Week 9 (16-13 upset). This pace positions him as the team's most clutch performer in years, with a 68.4% success rate on go-ahead drivesalready surpassing many franchise benchmarks early in his career.   Young's early 2025 surge (top-5 league-wide in clutch EPA at 0.28 per dropback) not only outstrips the debuts of Newton (2 in 2011) and Delhomme (1 in 2003) but hints at him climbing this list quickly if the Panthers sustain their wildcard hunt. Data underscores his growth: no other Panther QB hit 4 GWDs before Week 10 in a season.   The energy fans pour into the stadium directly shapes Bryce Young’s performance positive support has been shown to elevate his fourth-quarter efficiency by 12%, strengthening team cohesion and execution under pressure. Criticizing or booing the starting quarterback fractures morale, disrupts focus, and undermines the very resilience needed in clutch moments. When fans stand firmly behind their QB and team, they become a true home-field advantage, amplifying performance and accelerating the path to sustained success. Now are you a Carolina Panther fan or a Panther hater? 
    • Bryce would have extended some plays scrambling with his legs but then again he also has a high number of fumbles so you never know what you're going to get and the way the Bills were getting after Andy (sacked 7 times) it stands to reason Bryce would have been under duress often. What exactly do you want here? I mean I'm going to go by the gameplan I saw after Bryce turned the ball over against GB. Clearly Dave Canales was deliberately trying to limit the opportunities for him to make a catastrophic mistake. And didn't Micah Parsons log zero QB pressures? So with that in mind if you are asking for anyone to argue our offense with Bryce would have had much if any success against that opportunistic motivated Bills defense while we were also splitting carries between Rico and Chuba who had the majority of them which ended up being a situation resulting in a weeks worth of scathing criticism and deservedly so then I'm going to just have to say we can agree to disagree.
