Here's what caught my eye:

- Remmers more effective in pass blocking than run blocking (bodes well for Cam's strong side protection)

- Josh Norman's penalties cost him -3. Would like to see that drop this year with his increased maturity and decision making.

- Norwell is a road grader when it comes to run blocking. Turner is a better pass protector.

- Philly Brown 1.5 in the running game? Did he run that many sweeps/reverses?

- Kawann seems to have developed into a better player (statwise) than Star. Maybe because Star's role is as more of a space eater?

- Cason -14.7 pass coverage rating. ughh. dude was leading in votes for CB at one point last year.

Philly our best WR according to PFF...

 

And our best in pass rating is Bersin, with 0.1.

 

Wow were our WRs bad last year.

Well... I know Kelvin had some drops and not enough YAC.  But still I'll take his 1008 yards, 9 TDs, and his dangerous playmaking ability.  If that's "BAD" I'm not too worried, especially remembering how often he was double covered.  With more receiving threats, we should be just fine.

I was surprised at the negative grades for Ealy, Horton & Addison.  I didn't realize that CJ was the only one of our primary DBs last year (obviously not counting Hardy or Alexander) with positive grades.  I had assumed we were ok, not great at this position.  Now, it's looking a little weaker than I thought. 

Would love a more knowledgeable commenter to help put these stats & the currently understood strengths/weaknesses of our DBs in perspective.  Thanks.

And here's to hoping Big Frank will play lights out this year!

Addison is mainly a pass rusher, hence his poor grade in the run and pass coverage. Horton is the opposite, providing solid defense against the run, but almost nothing in the way of pass rush.

the ealy thing is me mighty concerned.  someone tell me why I shouldn't be.

Rookie DE's rarely have a strong first year. Especially with how bad the secondary was behind him most of the year.

Ealy's first year: 4 sacks, 1 FF, 12 tackles

Hardy's first year: 3 sacks, 2 FF, 30 tackles

CJ's first full year (08): 6 sacks, 1 FF, 25 tackles

I was just commenting on PFF's grades, not my opinion.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean, no I’m not going to panic when he got 2 Qs and looked great in 1 and looked not great in another (let’s not mention the drop).    Yeah we finally have a team that would be considered average offensively around him. Let’s roll this season.

      The woe is me everything but Bryce sucks mantra is stale af my friend. Look nobody here is going to argue with the fact Frank Reich was not a good head coach. At the same time. Bryce Young is now in his second season with his second coaching staff and a handpicked young offensive head coach who has been known for working with QB's such as Baker and Geno. As far as the offensive pieces around Bryce we have the 4th highest salary cap allocation (that might be even higher now after the new Moton deal) dedicated to the OL in the entire league. We have 2 first round WR's one of them 8th overall the first time we've ever selected a WR that high in franchise history. And the fact of the matter is Bryce Young did not have a good preseason. It's not the first time it's happened either. We all hope to see he and the rest of the team flip a switch in week 1. But we should all be able to agree that the offensive performances we've seen from the entire QB room (Bryce included) in preseason was simply unacceptable.

      We have seen Bryce play… what… 9 games with AT BEST what one would consider NFL average WRs? You just can’t see the forest for the trees and keep going back to your lazy take of revisionist history.    he looked AWFUL Y1 with the worst coaching I’ve ever seen in the NFL and one of the weakest WR rooms I can recall. He looked awful first half of y2 and great second half of y2 with average coaching and average skill position. I don’t know where this elite talent argument even comes from.
