Cam and Russell pressure stats this season: the raw numbers


TonyN

Recommended Posts

Russell Wilson has been sacked 14 times and hit 24 times on 175 passing attempts this season.

 

Cam Newton has been sacked 14 times and hit 34 times on 206 passing attempts this season.

 

So:

 

Wilson has a sack percentage of 8.0 and has been hit on 13.7% of his dropbacks this season

 

While Newton has a sack percentage of 6.8 and has been hit on 16.5 % of his dropbacks this season

 

Feel free to spin the numbers.

In terms of the numbers presented above, the pressure stats look similar if not better for Cam so perhaps our OL could be worse (Seattle's O-Line).

Almost no one on this forum will admit it, but Carolina's offensive line has been average in pass protection. There are quite a number of teams with worse pass blocking. My God, have none of you seen a Jags game this year, for instance???

 

In terms of run-blocking, the Panthers are definitely below average, but since the running backs have been so banged up it is really hard to judge where they actually stand.

 

Gettleman has put together a serviceable offensive line while spending very, very little money.

 

Many people will never admit that this O-line is not the dumpster fire so many claim it to be...

 

It's too easy of a scapegoat.

Traditional ground attack also helps aid a QB from opponents setting up to attack them.

We don't have one. Sea has a beastly one. One that is "about dat action, boss"

it is "serviceable" only bc Cam is Cam.

How many plays do OTs get literally blown up off the bat and Cam survives.....other QBs wouldn't.

We literally have no rush attack bc of them....that isn't "servicable".

Some people see what they want to see.

 

There have been very few "jailbreaks" given up by the Panthers this year...a few to be sure, but that happens to every team. I have watched every snap of every Panther game this year on rewind. For most of the season, Cam has had a clean pocket. Carolina is dead average in the NFL in terms of sacks and QB hits.

 

Newton has been immobile for much of the year...so I am not sure where you are going with the contention that "only Cam" could survive behind our offensive line. I hesitate to say this, but for a very substantial sample size, the immobile journeyman Anderson has also "survived".

 

As far as Seattle's run game is concerned, it should serve to actually slow the opposition pass rush...and yet Seattle's O-line has given up as much pressure as Carolina's.

 

Of course I am sure your contention is that the hyper-mobile Russell Wilson could never survive behind our offensive line. I disagree.

 

The rushing attack has been very poor. When Stewart and Williams have been healthy, though, Carolina has averaged 3.7 yards a carry. Not great, but not horrible.

Cam not running or looking slow never made him immobile in the pocket.

Our lineman get comically beat each week. Fortunately, Cam hasn't been drilled when it happens.

As far as the week 1. Good or bad, what goes down week 1 doesn't mean much. Too many oddities in week 1 matchups

Are you referring to all those times Newton just stands in the pocket without even the slightest attempt to drift right or left while the pocket collapses around him???

 

Sure, the man takes off occasionally, but as far as moving in the pocket to buy time to throw downfield...not so much.

 

This was never intended to be a "Cam Newton" thread, but by golly here we are !!!

 

Anyway, I am not going to argue with a true believer.

 

I am sure in the Bengals game for instance, the game where Carolina had 46 passing attempts, 0 sacks and 4 QB hits, no other QB in the league would have survived. Only Cam...LOL.

    • Ummm not sure adding anther 5'9 180 pound soaking wet forward is the way to go here.....    
    • What has happened in HS athletics busted full force into the college world with this NIL/transfer portal stuff. HS sports has been jacked up for a long time now. You have all these "prep schools" that are basically just diploma mills for athletes who hoover up all the good athletes they can get and they're all on scholarship. Then they go out and recruit decent athletes with rich parents to come onboard and pay outrageous tuition while they tout their success at getting their athletes college scholarships. Yeah, those athletes getting college scholarships are the same ones you're giving scholarships to so that you can use them to recruit the rich kids whose parents can pay for it all. You see the same thing in youth travel ball leagues. The whole thing is just getting crazy.
    • It's your right to refer to it as vague, but it still flouts the theory of "zero evidence" that Tepper is changing. Here's another: "Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan are reportedly being given a larger leadership role within the organization. Panthers owner David Tepper 'has taken a more hands-off approach of late,' according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 'He's trying to trust Canales and GM Dan Morgan to get it right, knowing that the roster requires patience in its current state,' Fowler wrote. 'We shall see if he holds to that.'" https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10146782-report-panthers-david-tepper-has-taken-a-more-hands-off-approach-to-team   ""David Tepper just wants to win and he's gonna supply everything that we need to win.. Things are changing around here and things are looking really positive" ~ Dan Morgan  https://x.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1917639137550627107?t=6vgo8yXTO6eD0Gb55hyzNg&s=19   From about 2:15-6:35, Julian Council, Locked on Panthers, gives his take on whether Tepper seems to be changing (and specifically referenced the war room in his analysis):    Dean Jones of Cat Crave on David Tepper in the war room. "He was an innocent bystander throughout a hugely important decision, placing full trust in Morgan and Tilis to make the right call." Jones also quoted Pat McAfee: "What I noticed though, at one point, they looked at (David) Tepper to get an answer, Tepper didn’t say sh*t. All anybody has said about Tepper is that he’s hands-on, hands-on, hands-on. Too handsy, too involved. He’s not letting the football people do their thing. We just watched in the biggest moment for their franchise, a top ten pick, he just sat there and let everybody do their jobs. I think if you’re a Panthers fan, you love everything you saw there." https://catcrave.com/silence-from-david-tepper-becomes-panthers-loudest-victory Granted, you're not getting a major headline here, but that's not going to happen anyway. Fowler isn't exactly a nobody, everybody knows McAfee, and you also have some locals that follow the team (including Dean Jones). Of course you have a right to believe that Tepper hasn't really changed, but to say there is no evidence that he just may be changing is not really true. It's just not. Hate the guy, but the way that he has handled this current regime is different than he handled previous teams, and his silence in the war room and publicly in general is different than years back.
