Risers and Fallers - Panthers at Chargers

The Carolina Panthers managed to hold on to a lead and defeat the Los Angeles Chargers, but which individuals had a better day than others? 

Here are the risers and fallers of the game as I see it. 

RISERS

Backup running back Mike Davis showed that Panthers coach Matt Rhule knew what he was talking about when he said Davis is a starting quality runningback in the NFL. Davis showed excellent ability in catching the ball as well as providing a punch at the point of contact. I am no longer concerned about the Carolina Panthers running back position with Christian McCaffrey on IR. 

Rookie phenom Jeremy Chinn had 12 tackles, tying for the most in one game by a Panthers' rookie defensive back. Chinn's 26 tackles leads all NFL rookies through three weeks. I am supremely excited to see this young man develop further. 

Panthers kicker Joey Slye makes his debut on the risers list. Slye went 5 for 5 on field goals. You can't ask for much more from a kicker. Well done, Swole. 

Fallers

We are three weeks into the season and Tre Boston has appeared on my fallers list every single week. He is the only player to have done so. Boston's bouncing off of the Chargers' ball carrier was as excruciating to watch as it was expected. Free Safety continues to be a dire need. 

Offensive tackle Trent Scott had a rough go against his former team. His play brought back memories of guys named Bell and Chandler. Those were not good memories. Hopefully Okung is healthy this week and we won't see much more of Scott ever again. 

Who are your risers and fallers?

The only reason I can see them still putting Samuel out there is to try to get someone to trade for him. Something. anything.

If Bonnafon got all his snaps who would be upset?

I can't think of one thing Samuel does that other current panthers can't do better.

i've created a new stat for dante jackson and trey boston.  its called 'slow-downs'.  its not a tackle, its when they slowed the ball carrier down.  when you incorporate this stat it tells you things

we know what Djax is at this point, and it's not a tackler.

I'm actually not that upset with that because what he is is useful, as long as there are people that ARE tacklers. 

Donte Jackson cannot physically take on a blocker or crash down into the box. he will die. he is built like a sprinter. 

although that said this is two weeks in a row i thought he was going to house a TD and he didn't.

i mean when he gets the ball in his hands he's crazy fast.   

still, dante and trey combined for 6 slow downs yesterday.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
