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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
