Top 5 Grades:

WR Kelvin Benjamin, 84.8 overall grade

LB Luke Kuechly, 84.6 overall grade

DI Kyle Love, 83.9 overall grade

OT Daryl Williams, 83.1 overall grade

OG Andrew Norwell, 82.0

Performances of Note:

QB Cam Newton, 79.9 overall grade

Recovering from a poor early interception, that saw him sail a pass too far downfield allowing for the easy takeaway, Newton settled in as the game went on, and delivered several key throws before leading the Panthers into position for the game winning field goal. When the Patriots didn’t get pressure on him, which was on nine of his 33 dropbacks, Newton completed 82.6 percent of his passes, tossed three touchdowns and produced an passer rating of 140.2.

HB Christian McCaffrey, 77.4 overall grade

Don't understand how their game ball went to KB. He had a good game, but if it goes to anybody but Cam it would be Funchess or Peppers. hashtagpffmakesnosense

KB was a beast, catching everything that came his way. You can't get better than that.

Two TDs is better than that in my opinion. Not trying to take away from KB, he did what was asked of him, but the two TDs far outweigh that drop and that puts Funchess over KB to me.

How Gettie thought Solai over Love still baffles me

Wish people knew the difference when it came to DTs. Love is UT and Solai was a NT. Star is our only NT on the team. With that said Solai came with skates.

Kyle Love is still a boss. Still can't believe we cut him last year and then he was still available to be signed after week 3.

Love had extra motivation on Sunday... wanted to show Belichick and the Pats that they were wrong to cut him.

Somewhere there was an interview with him in which he admitted that Sunday was personal.  Forget where I saw it.  Sorry...

Saw the same thing.  Article said they released him a few weeks after he was diagnosed with Type II diabetes and he was very unhappy with the way the situation was handled.  Said he has "no love" (pun intended) for BB whatsoever.

    • Ill just be happy if Tepper doesnt make another locker room appearance the rest of the season. 
    • The question I wonder involves putting the cost behind us.      At this point he's here, so does the premium paid even matter anymore? It set expectations no doubt, and they weren't met.  He's been bench-worthy bad, but he's come back and looked first average, above-average to maybe great, and then downright bad again.  Now we're back on a good trend again.  Absolute rollercoaster.   So what level of performance deems him a viable option to hold?  He's looked absolutely incapable of moving an offense at times, and others like a guy you can "Purdy" with some dimes sprinkled in.     So, if he continues on this 2 game trend and shows consistent average to above-average play, we're treading into tricky territory.  Such a big investment but he tops out as a top-15/20 QB option.  It's Alex Smith KC type vibes. Are we going to be sitting at 7-10 come end of season and feel kind of meh? It's right at that fringe of what is worth it.  If he doesn't re-sh*t the bed, we may be best suited to go BPA next draft and see the 2026 progression.  And that will be the final make/break year.  What I can see if he doesn't fall apart and things look manageable: He may end up being the average precursor to finding the great talent that you can build the team around.  How Alex Smith was in KC.  They built that with him (not around him) until they eventually got Mahomes.  Heck, think back to Trent Green/Warner.  So, BY can manage, we may get some success, but if a stud comes along, we bail and roll with the new gun.    
    • We win 2 games largely due to historic rushing from our backup RB we signed in free agency and now the huddle is regarded as the most toxic place on the internet because not everyone shares the same opinion that Bryce Young has proven himself to actually be a long term starting QB yet. This place was just as ugly through the prime Cam years. People complained about him even when he was producing and we were winning the division. Things were just as ugly through the Jake years. Sometimes people would get so irate and fed up with him they would literally be calling for his head. How about we just give eviscerating one another a breather and see how this team and Bryce look on the road. Nothing anyone can say is going to make a difference until then.
