Darryl Williams is the 5th best Tackle in the League according to PFF.

I mean, he's good.  But, 5th best?

OT DARYL WILLIAMS, 87.0 OVERALL GRADE

Williams was perfect in pass protection as he surrendered no pressures on 34 passing snaps. Williams also produced some nice run blocks in Carolina’s power blocking scheme. Carolina was content playing conservative with the lead in the second half.

@Saca312, I need your instant analysis on why PFF is wrong here ASAP.  Then, post something about how Bradberry is great designated by PFF.

Also, MATT KALIL FINALLY GOT A SOLID GRADE!  WOW!

Because Bradberry does press like this against one of the NFL's better WRs.

The key is to do your own research and substantiate whether or not a party's claims are true or not. Go to film and back it up. Film backs up the fact we give help to Daryl a lot, making him look better than he is. Therefore, PFF is overrating him because they do not consider scheme or how protections help one person out.

To further substantiate their flawed viewpoint on offensive tackles, here are NFL player testimonies about how PFF grades tackles.

“But they don’t know anything about identification, what offensive linemen are supposed to do. They think if a guy blitzes off the edge, that’s automatically the tackle’s block, but a lot of times that’s not the case. They’ve always graded me well, which I don’t mind, but I still don’t respect it,” Lang said.

Apparently, most NFL players feel the same way.

“I know most of the guys that I’ve played with absolutely hate it, just because it’s started to gain so much steam now where Sunday Night Football, Thursday Night Football, they’re actually showing stats up there for the players,” said Lang. “I think it’s absolute garbage and I think most players do.”

Now, in terms of PFF's claim that Bradberry is the NFL's best press corner, that is absolutely true. He's been fantastic when in press coverage, and film backs that up. Scheme doesn't play as a factor in terms of press technique, so PFF will most likely be right in this instance.

So, please stop making yourself look foolish and tagging me in your mindless "oh hur hur I gotcha" childish posts.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
