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.

      Their use of the phrase questionable QB situation fits perfectly. He is stuck, for the moment at least, in a situation with Bryce that he can't really get out of. There have been improvements for Young, but he hasn't been a world changer. He had horrible coaching first year and was saddled with a broken down remnant of what had been an afterthought team anyway. There's one year left to keep him on the cheap with the idea that if he cranks out a great season, we've got first dibs on him for the next. If he tanks out, then off to free agency Young goes to either a QB whisperer-type situation or becomes a fairly battle tested back up QB. And we get something to add into our compensatory picks formulation. This is a make or break year for Young, but not for Morgan or Canales.

      If they lose the ECF in wimpy fashion, like anything less than a Game 7, its time to can Rod.

      Do you people really give no credence to the fact that Carolina’s went almost two weeks between games while Montreal played an intense seven game series that just ended Monday? That break was too much to be ready to go, and it showed.   The Canes pressed in the first, likely from overzealousness to prove the layoff wasn’t too much. once the Canes settled into their game without pressing, the game was much tighter. Every year, posts in the Panthers forum question how little the starters play in the preseason? Why is that? Because we all know not going at game speed against an opponent can lead to a slow start when the games turn real. Even with prior ECF disappointments, I’m going to hope last night was more akin to starters not playing in the preseason.
