TOP 5 GRADES:
DI Kawann Short, 86.8 overall grade

RB Christian McCaffrey, 85.1 overall grade

LB Luke Kuechly, 84.5 overall grade

LB Thomas Davis, 80.7 overall grade

DI Star Lotulelei, 80.7 overall grade

PERFORMANCES OF NOTE:
QB CAM NEWTON, 56.6 OVERALL GRADE
Newton’s team got the win but this wasn’t him at his best. His accuracy was spotty for most of the game, got away with a dropped interception in the second quarter and completed just two passes over 10 yards in the air, with none further than 20 yards. There has to be some sympathy for Newton, who saw pressure on 40.7 percent of dropbacks, but if the Panthers are to build on their strong start he’ll need to play better with his arm.

RB CHRISTIAN MCCAFFREY, 85.1 OVERALL GRADE
Much was expected of McCaffrey when he was taken eighth overall in this years draft. He’s struggled somewhat to live up to the billing, but with Jonathan Stewart fumbling twice, he was given the lead role in the backfield. Setting career highs for attempts, yards and yards per carry he was a nuisance for a Falcons defense that did a good job at the line of scrimmage but struggled with the cutback ability and straight speed of the former Cardinal. With Stewart’s struggles, will McCaffrey be in line for a sustained big role going forward?

DI KAWANN SHORT, 86.8 OVERALL GRADE
You may not have heard his name called a lot, but Short was his usual destructive self against the Falcons. He picked up two hits and two hurries, whilst beating enough blocks in the run game that the Falcons struggled to establish their ground game.

LB LUKE KUECHLY, 84.5 OVERALL GRADE
If not recognized by the 59 on his back, it’s hard to miss the Panthers tackling machine with the fans chanting his name whenever he’s in on a play. He had a team best three defensive stops to continue his excellent year.

Also, water is wet.

      So.... you're admitting he's never going to be the type of QB who can drag his team to victories on a consistent basis? Because in today's NFL, the teams that are constant contenders have QB's who can put up those kind of games will their team to wins when needed. If Bryce was anything near as amazing last year as the Bryce defenders try to insinuate he was, we'd either have won more games or his stats would have been better, if not both. Yes, he showed significant improvement over the last 2 months of the season.  Yes, he had a few clutch  moments/throws/drives in that span too. BUT... It's also very much a true statement that on the whole, he was still AT BEST an average QB during that time period.   And for a QB who was touted as being a PG who can get wins without elite talent around him because of how he sees the game, that's just not good enough, sorry. And none of that is to say he can't do that this year, especially after we gave him a weapon like T-Mac and hopefully an improved XL and Coker.  But stop trying to say he was this amazing QB to end the year who has proven he can (and should) be considered a long term solution as a franchise QB, as it's just not true.

      In what way is that remotely the same thing as I'm saying here? First things first, comparing QB's to any other position is just asinine to begin with.   Second, you're trying to imply the exact opposite of what I'm saying here, so it just doesn't make sense. I'm saying if you remove the players that teams haven't committed to as their long term QB solutions yet, Bryce is the last player ranked in this set of rankings, that's all.  But sure, go ahead and try to make some weird convoluted equivalent for my love of T-Mac (who btw, you'd probably only need to take away 12-15 WRs for me to rank T-Mac #1 in a dynasty format, just sayin, lol)
