Cam, Olsen, Kalil, Luke, TD named to PFF's All-Star Team of the Week: Week 5

[gettlemanjack]

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.

2nd time Kuechly and Davis have been on the All-Star Team of the Week together this year.

 

Impressive.

Unnecessary.

The more you throw out quantity stats like total yards the more you look like a casual fan or a troll.  Consider yards per attempt or TD/INT ratio or other quality stats and then come on here and act intelligently

Cam is currently the PFF's second highest rated QB in the league behind Rodgers. And that's with a negative rushing grade. Great start for our QB

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.

Short should be on that list.

 

He would've been for sure but he had a -1.4 run grade and -0.9 for the roughing the passer penalty.
