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.

      Mike White or Hendon Hooker coming back?

      Absent proof that he absolutely  concurred 100% with his superior, there is nothing that can change my opinion.  Also, I would appreciate it if you would not lay the motivation for that opinion on wanting Morgan to succeed because he is an ex Panther. I do want hi. To succeed because of that and just because he is the GM of my favorite team, but I have enough independent thinking ability to separate my feelings down what Insee.    I said many times before Morgan ever made GM or before Bryce was chosen that I could not believe and ex player could endorse that decision. I was speaking of Reich but also a MLB? Really? I feel like any ex high level defensive guy would be salivating at the prospect  of facing a Bryce in a game.   Whether an ex Panther, a Giant, a Buc, whatever jersey they wore.

      Stats clearly reveal that the Panthers are among the least efficient passing teams in the NFL

      Years ago there use to be a website called Cold Hard Football Facts.com. I used to hang out there to read the articles and their interpretation of the football data. After the midseason point, when teams had generated enough data to set trends, these guys could predict the winner of game 75% of the time using nothing but statistical data. They said the single most important piece of data for passing efficiency is Yards per attempt. "I think" they said any team at 7.0 yds/attempt or higher would usually be among the top 10 teams in the NFL year in and year out if even if they only had an average defense. The lower the number, the least successful the team. https://www.espn.com/nfl/stats/team/_/view/offense/stat/passing/table/passing/sort/yardsPerPassAttempt/dir/desc If you toggle the column and arrange it from best to worst the data clearly proves their point. Nearly every team above 7.0 this season (16 in all)  has a strong chance of making the playoffs with the possible exceptions of Washington and Dallas. Washington has been decimated by injuries this year and Dak's excellent season is being overlooked because the Cowboy defense can't stop anyone in 2025. The teams below 7.0 are clearly the tier 2 and tier 3 teams in the NFL with the exception of Denver which is currently sitting atop the AFC West at 8-2.
