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.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
