Panthers snaps by youth versus the rest of the NFL

Came across this from overthecap.com where they have assigned a valuation to the number of snaps played by drafted players in the first four years of their rookie contracts in a sortable table for every year since 2011 which is coincidentally the first year Ron became coach. It's also when the new CBA began which is why the site chose that year as a start point. So I thought it would be interesting to note where Ron and the staff have ranked at playing youth versus veterans against the rest of the NFL given how often it is said that Ron never plays young guys and always prefers vets.

I should note that this is not solely a metric that shows preference to vets vs youth as it also will factor in how well teams hit on players in the draft.

Here is where the Panthers rank in the NFL for most snaps by players on a rookie contract since 2011:

2011 - 13th

2012 - 10th

2013 - 20th

2014 - 5th

2015 - 23rd

2016 - 27th

2017 - 24th

2018 - 15th

Overall - 19th

So we are pretty squarely in the middle of the pack in the NFL. There also doesn't appear to be a ton of correlation between rank and team success. The better teams over this time period are more favored toward the bottom half but there are plenty of successful teams in the top half.

    So...do we like rookies now? Or do we still hate them? Or is it, some rookies yea, and some rookies nah? Inquiring minds and all that.

It appears the less rookies we start the better our record is according to those rankings. Still skewed, because if you have a stud for a rookie - this means nothing.

    I don't think that is what it means at all. All that shows is the amount of playing time. Not where the team ended up.

 

    This is the qualifier in the OP. "There also doesn't appear to be a ton of correlation between rank and team success. The better teams over this time period are more favored toward the bottom half but there are plenty of successful teams in the top half."

 

    We are in the middle of the pack where it comes to playing rookies. So I guess it means we don't hate em. We just aren't in love with them.

Compare the season's record based on our rookie play time ranking..... That's how I got the answer I got.

So in other words, find and put good players on the field, whether green or seasoned.

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      Where will the wins come from? (my early predictions)

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      I'm too lazy to make my own format so I am stealing yours.  Week 1: Sept. 8 at New Orleans  (W) 17-6 Running game and Derek Carr having a horrible opener gets the win. Week 2: Sept 15 vs. Los Angeles Chargers (L) 24-10 Hype from Week 1 goes away when Harbaugh and Herbert show up. Week 3: Sept 22 at Las Vegas  (W) 16-13 Complete defensive struggle but Panthers win on last minute FG.  Week 4: Sept. 29 vs. Cincinnati  (L) 30-13 Score is actually worse but Panthers score in garbage time. Week 5: Oct. 6 at Chicago (L) 21-10 Horrible performance by Bryce in a winnable game and even his fans start to think he's not it, press conference questions get worse and calls for benching intensifies.  Week 6: Oct. 13 vs. Atlanta (L) 20-17 Running game becomes 70% of offense to help Bryce, it works but can't get job done at the end. Week 7: Oct. 20 at Washington  (W) 21-14 Running game/defensive comes through; Bryce does okay. Week 8: Oct. 27 at Denver (L) 27-7 Complete offensive collapse. Week 9: Nov. 3 vs. New Orleans (L) 30-24 Saints keep shooting themselves in the foot but we provide them a turnover-fest and they come back in the 2nd half.  Week 10: Nov. 10 vs. N.Y. Giants (Munich, Germany) (L) 24-6 Worse offensive performance of our season. Week 11: Nov. 17 BYE Week 12: Nov. 24 vs. Kansas City (L) 34-31 OT Dalton takes over for Bryce to try to salvage season. Plays close game; gives team a slight bump. Week 13: Dec. 1 vs. Tampa Bay (W) 28-27 Dalton has nice game. Canales beats his former team in a stunner.  Week 14: Dec 8 at Philadelphia (L) 27-14 Tough crowd, tough game, run out of gas in the 4th.  Week 15: Dec: 15 vs. Dallas (L) 31-24 This will be out "worse officiated game of the year." and we will all accuse the NFL of trying to get the Cowboys in the postseason. Week 16: Dec. 22 vs. Arizona (W) 26-10 Solid win by Dalton and co.  Week 17: Dec. 29 at Tampa Bay (W) 12-10 Canales sweeps his former team and knocks them out of the postseason in an absolute rain fest. Week 18: Jan. 4 or 5 at Atlanta (L) 28-20 Close game but Atlanta holds us off.    Panthers finish 6-11. Dalton's mediocre performance shows just how bad Young really was. Panthers start the search for the next QB.

      Want to see something crazy?  Look in Bryce stats after Dallas game.  They parked Bryce and told him to play conservative. Bryce first 9 games: 9 TDs, 8 Int, ~1,600 total yards.   Bryce last 8 games: 2 TD, 2 Int, ~1,600 total yards.  With just 1 game over 200 yards passing.  If you remove that game… Bryce is 0 TDs, 2 Int, and 1,300 total yards in 7 games. Just disaster the way the handled him.  Dude regressed as the season went on.  He took zero chance.  Just stayed in the pocket and got pounded.
