Cam's QB Ratings

Cam is the 12th rated QB on PFF.  Their evaluation is still done by a 3rd party that is not privy to what the coaches wanted, assignments, etc., but it is surely a much better evaluation than ESPN's QBR.  The eyeball test would tell you Newton has played about like the 12th best QB in the league through 2 weeks much more than a guy near the bottom.

I really don't believe any evaluation (or anything really) done by ESPN at this point is a legitimate endeavor.  ESPN creates narratives, and then frames the story to fit.  ESPN cares about ratings, and the longer they go on the more apparent it becomes.  I don't think they even try to hide it for the most part, outside of John Clayton and a few others who I guess are supposed to help them maintain a modicum of football knowledge legitimacy.  Football injuries and controversies are the prevailing content for any segment on football.  Seriously, outside of the primetime games and the high ratings generating teams, I don't think ESPN even shows worthwhile highlights from games anymore that would actually allow you to understand how the game went outside of a couple splash plays (and this doesn't just include the Panthers).  Most Panthers coverage is relegated to injuries or controversies.  The most coverage the Panthers got last year was Newton's injuries (primarily the automobile crash)

I don't believe in ESPN's QBR either. It's a complete joke.

Speaking of QB ratings..... LOL!  Gotta give David Newton some credit for actually following up this angle that we were all joking about ("Russian judge gives him a 3" etc...).  Makes for a really fun read.

I enjoyed the article. This HAS to be the best article David Newton has ever written.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
