Ranking the 2019 rosters for all 32 NFL teams

 

The Panthers come in at a mind-boggling Number 21. Upon inspection of the players used in the rating to determine the Panthers overall score, I figured out that ESPN utilized Chris Hogan and Torrey Smith rather than Curtis Samuel and Jarius Wright. 

I'm not sure of either of the latters scores but I'd assume they are better than Smith's (58.4) and Hogan's (55.2) PFF Grades.

The problem with any comparison is that the best teams find the combination of their players is better than the talent of each individually.  A perfect example was the Panthers in 2015 where we supposedly had the worst receiving group in the league. They played much better than that as a unit.  But PFF doesn't rate chemistry or potential simply scores taken from last year which could have little to do with this year. If Cam is 100% anyone think he will be improved over last year?

21st is absolutely absurd.

Sure he would. But the Panthers likely are higher in the rankings when you use Samuel and Wright instead of Smith and Hogan. Whomever compiled this list is completely bereft of knowledge of our expected depth chart for 2019. 

Receivers: Moore, Samuel, Wright

I mean we were 7-9 last year and picked 16th in the draft. At BEST, based on last year's performance record-wise at least, we should be #18. There were quite a few bad games to bog down our ratings at the end of the year. 

Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of room for hope and I expect a much better season compared to last year, but based on last year's performance, we're right around where we should be ranked.

I think their rankings are more based on player's Q ratings than actual play ratings. 

Also, completely based on last year's performance and, aw, who cares? It's ESPN which just regurgitates any sports related crap like a Zergnet Buzzfeed clickbait site.

It’s just click bait. The only roster that matters is the one that wins the Super Bowl.

you can have a team of nobody and smurfs, has beens never was etc that win the Super Bowl and they should be PFF number 1.

the most “talented” that wins the fewest games is the PFF loser.

plain and simple.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
