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.

The salaries of each OL playing Sunday
 
LT - Russell Okung - $11,240,000
LG - James Carpenter - $2,431,364
C- Max Unger - $6,100,000
RG - J.R. Sweezy - $584,212
RT - Justin Britt - $628,533
Seahawks OL - $20,984,109
 
LT - Byron Bell - $2,187.000

$9,688,109 - Difference
 
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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Basbear · Posted

      Brother re-check that guarantee...my page shows 30mill.....thats means he's staying in my book for at least til the end of 2026.  Im going to be my normal honest self, besides watching like half of the SB, I didn't know the guy. My guess is Panthers have a "planned model of paying players" and they almost had to spend a chunk of space on a DLman after Dbrown injury season gave them a nightmare out-come of worst D in NFL scoring. Once Milton got above Dbrown payments, they went with the plan B. A player whom the "co-GM" put his name with. Brad said turk would not be a problem off-field and leader, which the Panthers need badly. I dug in with the google-fu, I found out  I also found him playing lots of NT, which was shocking given the small frame. He seems ready for a bigger role and had a great SB too. IDK, I feel Dan Morgan was dead set on not going into this season without more DL depth and its there. The real deal is this, nearly all FA take one year to "adjust". I think turk is trying too hard and causing injuries as a result for his contract. Dbrown called turk "strong as hell" and I know for a fact Dbrowns has insane core and strength numbers. They lift together with the 50 LB difference...... you always lift with a guy who's similar in strength cause you can leave on the 8 wheels, let the other guy lift while you rest and go after him.  I do wish he had a better beginning to his panther career, 3 games for him to do so and it would cover up the low points if he made a few plays.... Again it felt like they almost had to make move/spend $$$ and Morgan was going to have DL depth this season no matter what...My best guess.

      If you can only fire ONE person before 2026....

      There's a reason DC wasn't getting calls to be a HC. He wasn't ready. His indecisiveness is infuriating. His lack of awareness is mystifying. He jumped at the chance to grab the David Tepper retirement plan and who can really blame him. Maybe with time he can grow into the job. But we're on year 8 of our 7 year rebuild. I think I'm gonna need a hip replacement before we get a decent HC.
