2023 Offensive PFF Grades

Recommended Posts

Of all the unexpected things that happened this year, Chuba establishing himself as a legit RB2 was one I didn't see coming.  Obviously, the much-improved offensive line played a part, but Chuba broke a lot of tackles this season he didn't in past seasons.  I am guilty of a lot of Chuba slander, but he really did establish he can play in this league and was more than Mrs. Rhule's favorite.

All 3 primary RBs (after the CMC trade) played well.  I could still see us taking a RB in one of the later rounds, but it is nowhere as big of a need as I thought it would be once we traded CMC.

And anything over a 60 PFF grade is not bad, considering 50 is average.

The biggest takeaway from the offensive side (outside of QB), is the clear need to upgrade at TE, especially in terms of pass catching.  Both Ian Thomas and Tommy Tremble are pretty good at run blocking, and they will both be on the team next year, but neither offer much at all in the passing game.  And Stephen Sullivan is never going to be that guy IMO

to have Elflein and Bozeman separated by only 2.2 points shows how useless these stats are

Elf actually looked pretty good his first few games then fell off a bit. Boze had a pretty bad end of season, but yeah if you toss out the last 4 games he probably is ranked significantly higher than Elf

They actually have Walker rated higher than Darnold. I guess they're seeing a lot of things on tape that aren't necessarily apparent in the game, or there counting a lot of those dangerous throws Darnold made to defensive backs and were batted down by receivers.

I had the same question. 
 

PJ had a 76.6 run grade and 60.3 Pass Grade

Sam had a 45.3 run grade and 65.5 pass grade.

The difference was the fumbles that Sam had regardless of the recovery and the missed give or keep reads. Sam had quite a bit more RPO reads than PJ which played a factor as well.

If you really watch Bozeman play, he is a great run blocker and an average to bad pass blocker.  Elflein is just the opposite.  Now if we could just make the two into one player that would be Ryan Kalil and we would be set.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
