Offense

#17  Total Offense (Avg. Yards Per Game)

# 17 Scoring Offense (Avg. Points Scored Per Game)

#22 Passing Offense (Avg. Pass Yards Per Game)

#7 Rushing Offense (Avg. Rush Yards Per Game

#1 in the League in 3rd Down Conversion Percentage (WOW Rams , Eagles, Vikings, and Patriots all have a lower %)

 

Defense 

# 2 Total Defense (Avg. Yards Allowed Per Game) (Jaguars recently passed us for #1 Defense)

# 4 Pass Defense (Avg. Passing Yards Allowed Per game)

# 3 Rush Defense (Avg. Rushing Yards Allowed Per Game)

# 9 in Opponent 3rd Down Conversion Percentage

# 1 in Opponent 4th Down Conversion Percentage (Among Defenses that have had at least 10 4th down conversion attempts against them, or greater)


I tried to only use stats that had averages since there were multiple people complaining in my last thread that I had too many stats that just counted total numbers and didnt account for bye weeks. 

What I'm getting from all of this, is that we are making gigantic improvements in rushing offense , and we're a mediocre passing team but that could clearly be a function of us running so well lately. And despite us being the #17 ranked total offense, somehow we are leading the league in 3rd down conversion percentage. We have been consistently moving the chains well all year long and we learned that when we actually manage to punch it in the end zone that makes this team incredibly dangerous .

Defense is what many of us already know. Top 10 in pretty much every major defensive catagory , and probably most importantly  to me we are top 10 in opponent 3rd down conversions. Combine that with us being #1 in offense in 3rd down conversions , that means we are moving down the field while the opponent is not more often than not, which is great. The defense is clearly lacking in takeaways, that may be the only clear weakness of the Defense thus far. And I'm guessing Wilks and Rivera have probably been harping on that through the mid season point.

That #9 in 3rd down should be ranked higher but Rivera has always given up 3rd and 10 and 3rd and 15+ like giving out Halloween candy.

The longer the YTG the more cushion we give at a default of 10 on 3rd and 1-3 YTG.

I think that was more McDermott than Rivera. Wilks has been aggressive as fug on 3rd down.

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
