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.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By PootieNunu · Posted

      It's funny how the teams with the great QBs stay at or near the top of the league every season.  Yes it is a team game, but the QB has the biggest impact in most NFL football games.

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

      Look, no one is ever a perfect player.  Since the QB handles the ball on 100% of plays offensively (unless there's a direct snap to a RB or something), I can absolutely see where they get an outsized blame and gain from what happens at any given snap of a football game.   Theoretically, there shouldn't even be a stat or idea to a 4th quarter comeback or game winning drive because you should already have done that during the game.  Losers!  Right?  Just because you win late doesn't take away the fact you tried to lose the game for your team! I'm not a fan of that opinion, but again, I'm just a moron with a keyboard.   Bryce has limited tools.  Bryce has not inspired the same level of confidence in us as Cam Newton did in year 3.  I certainly get that.  We traded a TON of assets to get Bryce, and we still suck.  (I mean, since we've lost games, we're losers right?) I completely understand that some fans are just unhappy with a limited QB and a team that isn't performing well, unless the other teams are worse losers than we are. I will say this:  Bryce will fight until the end.  Sure, he's has some real loser football.   But in close games, he's doing his best to comeback (even against a winner of prevent D). Now is it better or worse if your QB plays their best ball in the first half and sucks 2nd half so long as they finish with 300 yards, 3 TDs for your fantasy points? Who said stats are for winners anyway?  The Panthers and Bryce has a long way to go.  I'm enjoying the winning right now.  Though I do start each game thinking "how will we fug this up today?" Because it's been such a poo show in the Tepper era.  Will he prove to be a legit starting NFL QB?  Maybe not here as evidence by our record with QBs who were high draft picks.

      Ive never liked the term game winning drives because they include games where the QB was part of or was the reason the team was behind in the first place. Ive been arguing against this stat since the Delhomme years. It should only count when the QB is out of the equation of reasons why the team fell behind in the first place and is at least half the reason why he led the last drive to give them a lead. It shouldnt count if they just hand it off most of the time and the RB is on fire and they go down and score a TD or FG.
