PFF Panther game grades

Performances of Note:

G Andrew Norwell, 90.5 overall grade

Norwell was an absolute road grader on Sunday for the Panthers. He was great at pushing back interior defenders on double teams or single-handedly. Norwell finished with an elite 91.1 run blocking grade, the highest in the game but he was also no slouch when protecting the franchise either. Norwell did not allow a single on 32 snaps in pass protection, and finished with an 85.6 pass protection grade.

OT Daryl Williams, 80.4 overall grade

On the other side, Williams was very solid for the Panthers. He too had a balanced game run- and pass-blocking. He allowed one hurry on 32 pass protection snaps and he too showed his excellent strength run blocking by mowing back defenders for an 81.6 run blocking grade.

DI Kawann Short, 87.4 overall grade

Short is difficult to block at his best, especially for the Bucs’ backup offensive lineman in this one. He took advantage of their inexperience, collecting a pair of sacks and three pressures for an 89.8 pass-rush grade. Short did make a major mistake mid-way through the fourth quarter, committing a personal foul penalty well after the whistle on a play where an endzone holding call would have presented Carolina with a safety, but that moment of indiscipline aside, Short feasted.

CB Daryl Worley, 55.7 overall grade

Worley has been largely solid throughout his two seasons in the NFL, offering particular help against runs into his zone in the flat. He tied for the team-lead in stops (four) against Tampa, but was liable in coverage against the Bucs. He gave up 145 yards and a touchdown on seven targets by Jameis Winston, allowing a perfect passer rating of 158.3 when targeted.

What about Bradberry? He was god awful 

He certainly wasn't good, just like the rest of the secondary. Some of this is on Wilks, though. He is leaving 24 on an island a lot and is blitzing excessively (and predictably) on 3rd down.

I like Wilks, and it is obvious his guys respect him. I am however starting to feel like he is getting too cute with his play calls to get his name out there (a la Chudzinski) for HC jobs.

I know Shula receives the brunt of the Huddle anger, and he wasn't good yesterday IMO either, but Wilks got pantsed by Koetter yesterday bad. Like really bad. The missed tackles aren't on him, but there's nothing wrong with rushing 4 and playing zone on 3rd and long. 

McDermott did the same thing his 1st year in Philly trying to be like his predessor Jim Johnson.

Anyway, we were lucky to win. I'm not that down though bc we were due a letdown after 2 great performances.

Need to be better across the board. Coaching, play calling, execution. 

But we're in the playoffs for the 4th time on 5 years. I got faith we will be ready next week.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
