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.

      Panthers re-signing P Sam Martin

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Sam Martin   CARPunter#6 Panthers re-signed P Sam Martin to a two-year contract. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Martin’s deal is up to $5 million. Martin joined the Panthers last season on a one-year deal and wound up booting 56 punts for an average of 47.2 yards per punt. Martin is a 13-year vet of the league who has spent time with four different franchises. He landed a career-best 48.2 percent of his kicks inside his opponent’s 20-yard line last season.

      What to Consider when you Draft in Round 1

      By Basbear · Posted

      Surprised CB is that low.  19th is odd spot. For many recent drafts, teams only felt there were around 14 first round players.  So to many 19 is just an early second and doesn't hold the value of a first.  If you go off- the smart path of LT, QB, edge, WR, CB, etc. Whatever your OG, Safety, ILB, etc needs to be a difference maker, that's the key point. I've said the 8th best edge is better than the 1st safety. Same for QB and even WRs. You should 100% factor in position value.  MHS you've been wanting a FS, let me tell you its super difficult to be a difference making FS. You're just sooo farrrr away from the action and the end result most times. If you're in the play, defense made mistakes in order. Now to talk out of both sides, maaaaaann that white boy from Oregon....I thought he crushed the combine and honestly that alone made me rethink "is he worth 19 now?!?!" he's now in the discussion for me, but still below others.    Plus I feel TE is vastly underrated in value terms. But looking at the last 20 years of TEs in the first, its down right bad. You're better like X10 better drafting one in 4th or 5th.
