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's funny how the teams with the great QBs stay at or near the top of the league every season.  Yes it is a team game, but the QB has the biggest impact in most NFL football games. 
    • Look, no one is ever a perfect player.  Since the QB handles the ball on 100% of plays offensively (unless there's a direct snap to a RB or something), I can absolutely see where they get an outsized blame and gain from what happens at any given snap of a football game.   Theoretically, there shouldn't even be a stat or idea to a 4th quarter comeback or game winning drive because you should already have done that during the game.  Losers!  Right?  Just because you win late doesn't take away the fact you tried to lose the game for your team! I'm not a fan of that opinion, but again, I'm just a moron with a keyboard.   Bryce has limited tools.  Bryce has not inspired the same level of confidence in us as Cam Newton did in year 3.  I certainly get that.  We traded a TON of assets to get Bryce, and we still suck.  (I mean, since we've lost games, we're losers right?) I completely understand that some fans are just unhappy with a limited QB and a team that isn't performing well, unless the other teams are worse losers than we are. I will say this:  Bryce will fight until the end.  Sure, he's has some real loser football.   But in close games, he's doing his best to comeback (even against a winner of prevent D). Now is it better or worse if your QB plays their best ball in the first half and sucks 2nd half so long as they finish with 300 yards, 3 TDs for your fantasy points? Who said stats are for winners anyway?  The Panthers and Bryce has a long way to go.  I'm enjoying the winning right now.  Though I do start each game thinking "how will we fug this up today?" Because it's been such a poo show in the Tepper era.  Will he prove to be a legit starting NFL QB?  Maybe not here as evidence by our record with QBs who were high draft picks.  
    • Ive never liked the term game winning drives because they include games where the QB was part of or was the reason the team was behind in the first place. Ive been arguing against this stat since the Delhomme years. It should only count when the QB is out of the equation of reasons why the team fell behind in the first place and is at least half the reason why he led the last drive to give them a lead. It shouldnt count if they just hand it off most of the time and the RB is on fire and they go down and score a TD or FG.
