This season is going to be insane. Just took a look at the huddle stats and discovered for the past month there has been a 144.71%  increase in visitors to this site over the same time period last year. Interest is way up on this team, for obvious reasons.

1) Cam being named #1 in the NFL Top 100 certainly will have driven recent traffic.

2) Increased interest, yes...  

BUT ALSO all the work you've done Jeremy to get the site optimized for Google News feeds, and working on the front end.  (To say nothing of adding fascinating statistical breakdown articles, LOL....!)

In the past week or two I've noticed a lot more other twitter feeds and news outlets picking up and promoting Huddle pieces.  Even C-S-R which was notorious for ignoring the Huddle and just stealing stuff from here is beginning to link and credit pieces here in quite a reputable way.

WCNC Charlotte has picked up an article or two.   The ESPN NFL Nation Panthers blog has as well, and a few other sites I'm forgetting....

The site's looking great.  Thanks for all the work you've put in.

Really like the sidebar on the forum with the links to the main news articles and some great pictures.  That TD visor picture is just so awesome.  Gets me totally pumped for the season whenever I see it!

    • I don't believe it's as easy as saying that anyone believes that Rico had the 10th best day on offense. Grades are done in a vacuum inasmuch as they can be. By their very nature, skill positions are always going to account for more "production" in reference to stats, and RBs perhaps even more than WRs because they touch the ball more. You can't look at PFF's grading system, or any football grading/grading system (like perhaps Football Outsiders or Next Gen Stats), so simplistically. If a player has an excellent day, relative to his position, relative to his assignments, and relative to his number of snaps, then he should be graded highly. It's up to the reader (or the analyst, if you will) to put what you're seeing into context, and that's not only in relation to the grades, but the general situation (like whether a player is playing injured, who they're playing with or against---the general situation). Even the fact that (presumably) PFF or news outlets put out a list of the highest and lowest grades, that doesn't mean that said players were the most impactful of the day, it just means that they did or didn't do their job the best, based upon a certain set of parameters. PFF is a part of life for football analysts, talking heads, execs, coaches, players, and even fans (even if indirectly), all to varying degrees. It is a tool that is used by all 32 teams. Obviously it's not viewed so dismissively by franchises as a whole. Execs obviously don't look at it as a bunch of bozos making sh¡t up on the fly. Fans can berate it or swear by it, but it isn't going anywhere.  The only thing that I can tell you is that perspective and context matters.
    • Im not big in to PFF but their guys were raving about his blocking along with our other skill players in the run game. https://youtu.be/D4kL_N97cFQ?si=sJWSZCUA1bj5otyx
