To date, Panthers position grades

on Bridgewater 

Quarterbacks: C-
Teddy Bridgewater has completed a high % of his passes and has racked up a lot of yards. However, he hasn't been aggressive enough to really take advantage of the weapons he has and has also committed too many turnovers. His 14/8 touchdown/interception ratio is what one would expect from a respectable backup, not a starter. At this point, we know what Teddy is. We'd like to see more of what P.J. Walker and Will Grier can do during the last month of the season.
 
The grades in the other position group are pretty obvious and fair, it seems to me

I think they graded the OL too high (having them graded the same as the DL seems off to me).  The problem with using sack numbers to compare our OL to the rest of the league is this is supposed to be a quick-hit, timing based offense so the number had better be lower.  If they are relying solely on stats vs. an eye test, I can see how that happened.  That is the only big miss I see.

I think the LBs are graded slightly too high.  I'd probably give them a C-, and without Chinn, that grade would be worse. 

Other than those nits, it looks pretty reasonable to me.

I agree on the OL.  That's too high.  They have not been very good.  Despite the fact that we have some SERIOUSLY scary deep threats at WR, I am reasonably sure that even with a QB who could make the throws, our OL couldn't protect long enough, consistently enough to make good on that threat.

LB's also too high.  Chinn is the only one who has really balled out, and is he a LB?  A safety?  I dunno.  (I don't care mind you, he's playing great).  Shaq has been exactly what he's always been.  Average to good, but not elite.  Everyone else has been average or a little worse, except Whitehead who has consistently been an embarassment.

Yep. No disagreement on that. Teddy isn't awful but he's certainly not good and yeah, he's honestly slightly below average.

I went into the season only expecting him to be slightly above average. This team is better than I expected, but he is one of the few disappointments. All the other position groups are better, or at least as good, as I expected.

Yep. Agreed on the other position groups. Teddy started out better than I expected but has regressed to what I expected  I figured that the more tape became available on him with us the worse he'd look.

Good point on the tape. Losing CMC is probably the other part of that. He could make any QB look better.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      I’m not suggesting that tanking is the right thing to do every time. I do think that if you have guys like Burns and Moore that you will trade anyway, then you should think about tanking and getting max value, especially if you want to grab a QB that might go 1st overall. We tried to do both. Trade CMC for picks but don’t take 3 1sts and a 2nd for Burns and Moore. Instead, we won a few games and then threw in Moore on a trade because we didn’t tank and we gave Burns away for a 2nd. Can you honestly say that fully tanking, by trading away all our best guys who weren’t in future plans, in 2022 wouldn’t have made our team better now? We wanted a rookie QB and we didn’t extend the main guy we didn’t want to trade. We were 100% in full tear down and we could have been a playoff team last year if we used the 4 extra 1sts or 3 1sts and 2 2nds (counting picks saved on Young by being pick 3 or 4 not 9) on D. Culture building is funny. It took three coaching changes to seemingly get there. Morgan and Canales weren’t in charge when we “protected” our culture. We still traded Burns and Moore, we just lost 3 first round picks in the process. Also, do you think the Eagles are in a bad place because of their coach clearly tanking a game for a draft pick? Remember that? It was obvious and the coach was fired. The funny thing is that this is something teams do all the time but they add their stars (like Cam in 2016, CMC, Burns, etc.) to IR or rest them in week 16/17. Pederson was just dumb and made it obvious. He could have just sat his starters to start. Anyway, did that incident tank risk their credibility? Did Barkley decide to not sign with them? Seems like their SB win and other SB visit say they are just fine. Winning makes culture, picking the right coach makes culture, trading away guys who are on other teams in a year for top picks and keeping more picks by having a better starting pick to trade up, does not impact culture. If it helps you win, culture will be fine, ask the Eagles.

      Should get plenty of push up the middle with Derrick, Ashawn and Bobby B. That makes an Edge's job much easier since QB's don't have a pocket to step up in. Couple that with a few A gap blitzes with LBs and Safeties, and QBs should be flushed out like Duck Hunt.
