Power Rankings week 6

Post ém if you got ém.

 

Only one I have found so far is Yahoo. Two things from Yahoo:

14. Carolina Panthers (3-2-1, LW: 13)

Pro Football Focus' top graded quarterback this season? Cam Newton. Don't worry, he'll still be in the mid-teens in next season's various quarterback ranking lists.

 

 

Fairly accurate at this point. But the funniest is the Cincinnati ranking:

 

 

 

6. Cincinnati Bengals (3-1-1, LW: 3)

Cam Newton is an elite quarterback, and he's capable of games like that. Still, giving up 37 at home? After the Patriots torched them the week before? Little concerning.

 

 

Thanks for the praise of Cam, but seems to be a little misplaced. :)

I still can't believe how good Cam has been as a passer this year. Little to no high throws so far this year, delivering absolutely beautiful balls on a consistent basis...often times where only his receiver can make a play.

 

The sky really is the limit for Cam. As for our ranking, yeah, somewhere outside the Top 10 seems fair. If we find a competent defense/special teams, then we'll be Top 10.

I think we are slowly turning back into a offensive team, if not now it will be  a sure thing after the GB game. At this point you have to go with whatever is winning you games and we are just not winning off defense anymore.  Like i said in the other thread hopefully Rivera realizes this and goes with what is working for his team we will continue to lose games if we keep trusting in the defense to win it for us.

    • I mentioned this in another thread but i'll restate it here. Keeping a wait and watch approach and passing on the 5th year option kinda makes sense like obliquely, but in practice neither the team or the player wants it. The player doesn't want to risk injury when he could have at least another year locked up, and the team doesn't want to risk the player blowing up in their fourth year and holding the team over the barrel. If you're the QB and you're playing that well you obviously test the free agent market, and you'd probably be bitter about it as well.  modern first round qb contracts are essentially 3 year deals with the option of an additional 2 to put downward pressure on contract extensions. You either pick up the 5th year, extend with a new contract, or move on.  just sitting tight on the fourth year isn't a practical choice for any of the parties. 
    • The point was Miles Sanders wasn't just a guy in Philly. He was at least as good as Chuba has been in Carolina. 
    • I have not been impressed with our pass blocking since at least 2022. Still remember watching Darnold live against the Seahawks when we were dominating them in the run game and we still allowed far too much pressure on him regardless. It has not gotten much better since. In fairness to this year's unit, they have been hit by injuries. Oftentimes, even a mediocre overall unit is better than a stacked one if the former stays healthy throughout the entire season. Constant shuffling only means a much greater likelihood someone will blow their assignment and that's all it takes for a sack or worse.
