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.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
