There's a lot of information here  It's quite interesting an worth a read if you have the time (or interest). I'm  going to post the data that pertains to our beloved Panthers. 

I don't fully believe that analytics are the answer to everything, but I do believe some statistics are useful in evaluating how a team (or player) is performing in certain areas. Checkout the below stats on our woeful offensive line.

Team Run Block Win Rate (tell us the proportion of plays in which a player "won" his block on designed running plays.)

1. Washington Football Team, 79%
2. Kansas City Chiefs, 75%
3. Baltimore Ravens, 74%
4. Philadelphia Eagles, 74%
5. Miami Dolphins, 74%
6. Dallas Cowboys, 73%
7. Cincinnati Bengals, 73%
8. Green Bay Packers, 72%
9. Cleveland Browns, 72%
10. Los Angeles Rams, 72%
11. Chicago Bears, 71%
12. Arizona Cardinals, 71%
13. Buffalo Bills, 71%
14. Minnesota Vikings, 71%
15. Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 70%
16. Indianapolis Colts, 70%
17. Denver Broncos, 70%
18. New York Giants, 69%
19. Jacksonville Jaguars, 69%
20. Tennessee Titans, 69%
21. Detroit Lions, 69%
22. Seattle Seahawks, 69%
23. New Orleans Saints, 68%
24. Los Angeles Chargers, 68%
25. San Francisco 49ers, 68%
26. Pittsburgh Steelers, 68%
27. Atlanta Falcons, 68%
28. New England Patriots, 67%
29. Carolina Panthers, 67%
30. Houston Texans, 66%
31. Las Vegas Raiders, 66%
32. New York Jets, 65%

Team Pass Block Win Rate (Pass block win rate metric conveys the rate linemen can sustain their blocks for 2.5 seconds or longer.)

1. Cleveland Browns, 73%
2. Washington Football Team, 68%
3. Green Bay Packers, 68%
4. Los Angeles Rams, 67%
5. New Orleans Saints, 67%
6. Arizona Cardinals, 66%
7. Baltimore Ravens, 66%
8. Kansas City Chiefs, 65%
9. Philadelphia Eagles, 64%
10. San Francisco 49ers, 62%
11. New York Jets, 62%
12. Buffalo Bills, 61%
13. Tennessee Titans, 60%
14. Chicago Bears, 60%
15. Denver Broncos, 60%
16. Seattle Seahawks, 59%
17. New England Patriots, 59%
18. Jacksonville Jaguars, 58%
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 57%
20. Indianapolis Colts, 56%
21. Minnesota Vikings, 56%
22. Los Angeles Chargers, 54%
23. Cincinnati Bengals, 53%
24. New York Giants, 53%
25. Detroit Lions, 52%
26. Atlanta Falcons, 52%
27. Las Vegas Raiders, 51%
28. Dallas Cowboys, 51%
29. Carolina Panthers, 49%
30. Pittsburgh Steelers, 47%
31. Houston Texans, 47%
32. Miami Dolphins, 46%

We ranked 29th in run blocking and pass blocking heading into last week's embarassing loss to the Patriots. Joe Brady and Sam Darnold certainly have a share in our bad offensive performance in 2021. But, having an offensive line that is among the 4 worst in the NFL certainly doesn't help matters.

Yeah they suck. Big surprise there guys. Thanks for the stats. It just boggles the mind how they thought they could trot this group of failures out there and have success. The hubris on this coaching staff knows no bounds.

I've been fugging begging and pleading for Carolina to improve their OL through the draft since 2012.

And they haven't.  Except for some FA moves and good middle round picks by Gettleman over a couple of years, its been utterly ignored.

Insanity.

Maybe the Panthers should line up all those LBs and CBs that Marty and the new guy drafted on the OL?

As I keep telling people this is literally the worst ranked oline this franchise has ever put on the field.

And as I keep correcting people, the  Bell/Chandler line was ranked 22.

Nothing has come close to this.

Olines this bad injure players. If there is hospital anything on this team, it’s hospital blocking.

FO DVOA rankings disagree.

We have had worse OL's than this.

Sad but true.

Look at the bottom half of the league…

the #1 pass O is #28 in pass block win rate 

the #6 pass O is #27 

the #10 pass O is #22 

the #3 pass O is #19  

the #9 pass O is #21 

It’s almost like we have a QB problem and OLs not holding is just the NFL to a large degree

    • I would say that seems like an odd comment from Morgan, but at the same time it's almost impossible to find a college QB declaring for the draft to have less physical ability than BY so you can assume almost anyone you bring in would be your go to QB sneak/designed run guy. 
    • Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.  
    • This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
