A damn good job? Maybe if you compare it to what we had last season.  They are clearer an inferior OL though 

Newton is the great equalizer.  But in a mortal human and they already would have given up a lot more sacks and likely some fumbles by the QB.  

Of course compared to last season.  Cam is able to stay in the pocket more than twice as long on average, and that part of it is not on Cam.  Now, once someone gets to him, yes, he's the great equalizer.

Defense wins championships, and the Panthers have a top 5 defense.  With KB in the line-up, most of the offensive struggles we are discussing would not be an issue.  The WR position is clearly a weakness to this offense, but I don't think anyone expected KB to be gone for the year.  After they drafted Funchess, I actually felt really good about the WR position along with KB, Ginn, and Brown and then also with Olsen & Dickson.  

The biggest issue I see is the lack of of running game (without Cam running the ball).  Even with 8 defenders at the line, the Panthers need to figure out how to run the ball with a very talented RB core.  If they can get Stewart, CAP, and Tolbert running the ball along with the strong Panthers defense.....all of the WR negative stuff will go away.

I don't care what PFF says about Oher, he's been far superior to what we had last year.

PFF is a fan site that is nice, but too many people take their grading too seriously.

They have limited information and can be victims of their own confirmation biases.

Enjoy PFF, but dont take it a gospel

      We have without question one of the worst QB rooms in the league and your key concern is people having the audacity to be talking about it lol.

      I saw this list crossing the screen waiting for any Panther.  Chubba, JC Horn and Hunt.  It was a crime to see so many that were not as good as these three.  ESPN is garbage anyhow.

      Bingo!  We are on the same page.  Our scouting department was average under Hurney, but at least we hit hit it out of the park with our first rounders.  Our scouting department under Tepper's reign with his revolving doors of HCs and GMs has sucked because the scouts largely stay in place.  One or two may change every few years, but the core philosophy stays in place and I believe that to be heavily RAS influenced.    Looking the part of a football player (physical/athletic measurables) vastly outweighs putting on the tape and deep diving into his stats with our scouting department. Until we change that mindset, this team is doomed. Again, how many of us Huddlers (none of us are professional scouts) wanted McConkey over Legette? Yet, we went with XL.  Why?  RAS score, pure and simple.  If you put on the tape and look at the numbers without taking RAS into account, McConkey was the clear choice.
