I know this is going to bring the the typical, "what do you expect we were a 7 win team" responses, and other negative comments about how us homers think everyone disrespects the Panthers. But seeing that this is a Panthers discussion forum, I thought this to be interesting.  If some of you don't like the topic, participation is not mandatory, 

 

It's hard to understand not only Fox ranking the Panthers so low, but how can they justify some of the teams ahead of us?

25: Panthers

"The Panthers inexplicably neglected to fix the offensive tackle holes this offseason with premium draft picks or free agent contracts, but they did add two potential day one starters at other positions in the draft. If the team takes a step forward in other areas, but a step back in pass protection, they should win a similar amount of games in 2015."

Lol.

Quick tip to avoid blood pressure fluctuations,

DO NOT READ INTERNET DRAFT GRADES!

They are terribly misinformed, lazy, and flat out incorrect. No one, and I mean no one can accurately grade a draft in the days following it.

We fall for it every year!

This was a power ranking. My issue was their comments having no real substance. What Fox essentially said was: If you give a plant water and sunshine it could grow and blossom. If you don't give a plant sunshine and water it won't grow and possibly even die. Fox. Real men of genius.

We have Oher at LT so we're headed to 7-9? Please. Predicting a losing season is more of a knock on Cam at this point. We have plenty of talent of talent on both sides of the ball, and a possible top 5 defense. It has to be their lack of faith in Cam leading this team. It's not an overall talent issue anymore.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
