Best of the offense

 

WR Jalen Coker: 77.2
RB Chuba Hubbard: 76.4
RG Robert Hunt: 73.8
LG Damien Lewis: 72.9
LT Ikem Ekwonu: 72.8

Coker’s standing may come as a surprise to those who just know him as an undrafted free agent, but not to those who knew who he really was before the pros. The impressive 23-year-old wideout has averaged 15.5 yards per catch, the second-highest amongst all rookie receivers with at least 15 receptions.

In what should be a surprise to absolutely no one, Hubbard settles in near the top for Carolina. His 818 rushing yards rank third in the NFL heading into Week 11.

He’s been helped out by Hunt, Lewis and Ekwonu—who have earned run-blocking grades of 77.8, 72.7 and 80.7, respectively.

Worst of the offense

 

OT Yosh Nijman: 57.9
TE Ja’Tavion Sanders: 54.0
QB Bryce Young: 53.8
WR Jonathan Mingo: 46.8
TE Tommy Tremble: 46.2

Young has certainly improved since returning to the starting lineup, as he’s racked up the third-highest (77.8) and fourth-highest (71.4) grades of his career over the last two weeks. But his miserable two-game start to the campaign, where he notched the second-lowest (32.6) and third-lowest (38.8) marks of his career, have bogged him down.

Worst of the defense

DL Shy Tuttle: 49.1
DL DeShawn Williams: 46.4
DL Nick Thurman: 39.9
DL LaBryan Ray: 38.7
CB Chau Smith-Wade: 36.5

Carolina’s ineffectiveness against opposing ground attacks starts upfront. None of the four defensive lineman in this group have a run defense grade over 40.0.

Smith-Wade has struggled since taking over as the unit’s primary slot defender. He’s currently sitting on a 30.9 coverage grade.

Best of the defense

 

LB Claudin Cherelus: 71.3
CB Jaycee Horn: 70.4
ILB Shaq Thompson: 67.4
CB Mike Jackson: 67.0
OLB Jadeveon Clowney: 64.0

Horn has allowed a 45.5-percent completion rate thus far, the lowest amongst all cornerbacks with at least 300 coverage snaps. His fellow starting corner in Jackson, who has accounted for a solid 66.4 coverage grade, has proven to be a late-summer steal for the Panthers and general manager Dan Morgan.

Clowney has totaled a team-high 20 pressures.

      Legette for Coleman?

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      IDK how we go from good player for good player trade suggestions to dumpster fire bust for dumpster fire bust trade suggestions. Even though Coleman is better, he has a littany of motivation and discipline issues. Do we think milquetoast Dave is gonna fix that??

      Recommended free agent targets from roppster report

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I am not worried about the contracts because any/all can be jettisoned in 2027 with minimal ramifications. I would like to land him because you rarely ever see an elite, 25 year old center hit free agency, this is a very weak center class and Mays is a bottom quarter starting center(love him as a utility IOL).  Ideally this offseason we solve center and draft a high caliber RT/LT to fill the gap for Ikey. Then next offseason, pending outcome of the rookie and Ikey's recovery you can jettison Hunt(VASTLY overpaid), make a determination on Ikey's ability to play(perhaps extend him on the franchise tag as a "prove it"), and let the Ikey/rookien situation dictate Moton. He can be extended on a LOWER cost deal or jettisoned if Ikey and the rookie can take the reigns. Either way, both OT's will need to be resolved, we need an actually starting caliber NFL center again and we need to get rid of one of these OG's. Hunt is the obvious choice as Lewis is substantially better across the board and cheaper.

      I’m just not impressed with these hires/openings

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That's not a thing. If they can't find someone, they either aren't actually trying or it's a poisonous job and no one will.  Yes, plenty of them have gone with whom they wanted already. That's not really the point of the rule. It's to force teams to provide opportunities. It has worked well because coaches that wouldn't normally be given interviews are given that experience and teams have also been impressed enough to either offer them in the future or pass positive comments along to other NFL owners/front office personnel.  Also, we are over 20 years into the Rooney Rule. This isn't some new thing teams have to navigate.
