Pfft grade are like fantasy football touts writeups...uhhh yeah here are the guys I'd target this game...and then they proceed to list every single fuggin player from every single game. the info product space is all a scam. For $299 a season, I'll tell you how the browns are 7th in the league in scoring bandanas and rank 14th in average air quality measurements per snap.

There's probably some long, arcane explanation for why Paradis was *technically* playing his position correctly while he was being thrown back into Sam's lap like a toddler.  Us mere mortals just can't comprehend the wizardry the folks at PFF use to see who is *really* good.  It's our fault, really.

I don't know how their grading system works but they're so high on it that they refuse to adapt it for when it gives them a clearly flawed result. Hell, they might be crediting him for a plus play on the plays where he's in good position but gets forklifted into Darnold's lap because from a technical perspective he did do his job. He was just physically incapable of carrying out the task. Which is one helluva flawed grading system if that's how they're rationalizing his grade.

I think the fact that these grades are available SO QUICKLY after gameday should be an inkling of how much thought goes into them.  There is no way someone watches every play, focused on one and only one player to accurately grade them, for every team in the league, by the next day. 

That's a MINIMUM of 11 winds of one play, and honestly, it should probably take at least two to three times that to understand what a given players assignment on any given play may have been.  What's more, you may need to understand what the other players were supposed to do.  Was the back supposed to chip there?  Maybe the tight end?  Little stuff like that could make a mountain of difference to how a tackle might set up to play a snap.  

I'd be a lot more interested in seeing Panthers staff grades for our players, but obviously that will never happen.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By jb2288 · Posted

      agree to disagree you are entitled to that opinion even though I find the argument completely bizarre based on data. I could type out a long paragraph discussing those areas but what’s the point. I posted a screenshot that showed Bryce in a similar post snap situation with a free rusher in his face which resulted in a TD - that’s what happened on the play so I posted it.

      I've already addressed this notion in a previous reply. You are basing your assertion outside reality if you think Bryce would have not only been more successful but defeated the Patriots in place of Herbert. Bryce got blown off the field by that Patriots team with the highest paid OL in the league. We've seen Bryce with an OL that gave up 65 sacks and it resulted in the #1 pick. And that is not a defense of Herbert or arguing he is a great QB in any way. He has physical talent but he has been similar to Darnold early in his career in terms of his very up and down perfomances. However that does not change the fact that they have significantly less invested in the OL than the Panthers.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      I think Tepper has been setting the stage where pending there is no miracle he wipes it all clean.  Think you already have been told that with small things like Evero staying.  Bryce is the guy next year.  OC, DC, everything stays the same.  QB room largely the same.  Nothing would really matter there.  They basically get one more shot and it goes how the schedule paired with our 27th ranked O predictably most likely goes.  Everyone out the door together.  Bryce is a bridge tier QB.  I don’t see Dave surviving where he could be bridge QB here in reality.
