Panthers PFF Game Grades

Recommended Posts

Top 5 Grades:

G Andrew Norwell, 85.1 overall grade

G Trai Turner, 84.0 overall grade

LB Luke Kuechly, 80.4 overall grade

C Tyler Larsen, 80.0 overall grade

HB Christian McCaffrey, 79.1 overall grade

Performances of Note:

QB Cam Newton, 40.9 overall grade

It was a tough day for quarterback Cam Newton as he ended with 167 yards passing and three interceptions. One of those interceptions was deflected off HB Christian McCaffrey, the other two will fall on Newtons shoulders. All three of his interceptions came while under no pressure, as he finished 13 of 21 averaging 4.8 yards per attempt when the pocket was clean. Newton will look to bounce back next week against a tough opponent in the Patriots.

Happy to see Norwell bounce back. Larsen again was very impressive.

Luke’s grade seems high, but maybe that’s cuz I’m so used to him being superhuman. Worst game I remember him ever having.

I think it's more like PFF doesn't know wtf it's talking about. I wouldn't give Luke a super low score, but 60-70 seems more fair to me. Missed at least a couple tackles, got faked out on PA a few times. Did make a couple good plays, but you're right. That was probably the most meh game of Luke's career at MLB.

Yeah that’s where I would have had him pegged. It was only relative to his lofty standards. Still a decent game.

LB THOMAS DAVIS, 46.0 OVERALL GRADE

Davis had an off game and he had trouble diagnosing a strong Saints rushing attack. Not fitting his gap on multiple occasions lead to big gains for the Saints, and Davis finished with a 37.0 run defense grade. On the day the Panthers surrendered 151 yards on 27 attempts with 59 yards coming after contact.

CB JAMES BRADBERRY, 40.0 OVERALL GRADE.

Bradberry surrendered 2 catches for 56 yards including a 40 yard touchdown to Ted Ginn Jr. He struggled in run defense, with 2 missed tackles and allowing rookie Alvin Kamara in to the end zone in the fourth quarter when he lost containment on the play. Bradberry was also beat deep on an overthrow that could have inflated his yards allowed as well.

Anyone have the numbers for Matt kalil and Daryl Williams?  I'm curious to see how poorly they were graded.

I'm curious to see how Worley graded out as well. I thought his performance was just as bad, if not worse, than Bradberry's.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
