He moves the ball and apart from one game hasn’t made the critical mistakes. It’s complimentary football. I’d like to see the O perform a bit better considering we’ve played pretty poor pass defenses.

Faulty stats again - based on yards per game. The Panthers have scored 125 points in the four games since Cam has been hurt. Certainly, the defense has been responsible for putting them in position to score (and then scoring some themselves), but the offense has been efficient enough to capitalize on their opportunities.

And occasionally toss in a 99-yard drive. 

So, it shouldn't be a surprise that teams with a good defense get a shorter field and have less reliance on the offense to gain those yards.

I like the way the defense has played.

But our scoring defense is not where we'd like it to be.  unless you play fantasy football, yards you give up rushing passing etc mean nothing..  POINTS you give up are still what matters..  22 a game.   14th in the league.

The better  teams with leads , and yes we've had them,  are still  making stops ..  Our game with the Texans was awesome, but we had a 6 point lead and couldn't give an inch

Pass defense is our strength. 9th in passing yds allowed. Our issue is rushing defense where we are 21st.

That goes back to the Ron Rivera lack of killer instinct this team has had since day 1. 

To be fair, it's not something exclusive to Ron. Many teams have this same issue.

6 fumbles isn't critical mistakes? Those are as good as ints in my eyes.

Every winning/postseason year outside of 2015 Ron Rivera has had....has been driven by the defense.  So you can say that about 75% of the seasons Cam has gone to the postseason too.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Panthers Addict · Posted

      I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
