How The Polls Are Ranking The Panthers

In a poll of nfl.com viewers, the Panthers were ranked as the leagues 23rd best team. Strangely, that's the same place nfldraftscout.com ranks them, in their mock drafts by Rang and Reuter, who had them drafting 9th in 2011.

Steve Wyche even ranked the Panthers at #30.

However. walterfootball.com expects the Panthers to make the playoffs, and draft 22nd.

Peter King picked the Panthers to make it to the Super Bowl, as a wildcard team.

If any of these predictions are correct, the Panthers could find themselves drafting anywhere from 3rd to 31st next year.

So much for the polls. :)

So for five straight years there's been at least a 50-percent turnover in the playoff teams. Remember that as you throw crap at your computer when you see I don't have New England making the playoffs, but I do have Carolina in the big dance. There's not quite the same high number of playoff changes (I have five of 12 different from 2009), but I do have five of eight division winners changing.

Yeah that just simply tells me that they don't know. But I'm sure the reason for the low rankings is due to the fact that they simply don't know much about Matt Moore.

What really annoys the poo out of me is that the media knows even less about Kolb yet they give him the benefit of a doubt.

NFC east can do no wrong. if jason campbell were still on the 'skins everyone would say "he's poised to break out THIS year" AGAIN.

how much do WE know about matt moore?

We know that he's played better than Kolb so far, even though Kolb is in a more QB friendly offense. For some reason though, I heard Baldinger say that Kolb was gonna be awesome this year, but he had all kinds of questions about Matt Moore. Based on the evidence, that makes no sense to me.

Granted, none of us really know how either of those QB's will turn out, but Moore has been here for 4 years and he was a better QB in 09 than he was when he got his first start in 07, so there has definitely been some improvement. Certainly, there is no reason to expect him to fail, unless you're judging him solely on his draft status.

      Okay gentlemen, REAL talk...

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Here's the thing. You compared him to Jake. Jake was signed to the practice squad out of college. Bryce was the number 1 overall. Their expectations are wildly different and so are their contracts. You can talk all you want about what a player is and where they are now and all this other mumbo jumbo, but Jake never had a 5th year option and we weren't talking about the possibility of a top 5 QB contract extension at the end of his 3rd year. What he was expected to be matters because we invested heavily at a cost of future capital, including a 2nd round pick this year, for him to be that guy. The cost to add Bryce took value from the team. To be worth it, he has to add that value back.  Actually, I don't prefer yards, TDs, or only INTs. All those stats by themselves are misleading which is why I said you have to use a lot of different stats. ADOT - Average depth of target.  Completion %. Pretty obvious until you factor in ADOT. 0-5 has a lot higher C% than 10-15%. Hang time. If a pass is in the air for 4.6 seconds vs 3.1 on a 40 yards throw, that gives a DB a lot of time to correct. Is it a loft or is it a laser.  EPA - Expected points added. A way of measuring QB efficiency on every play.  CPOE - ranking pass completions based on several factors, not just the throw.  There's obviously more, but those are the more common.  Typical stats don't show everything. You need to look all over. Looking at a stat line is lazy. That's why I said, you need to analyze everything. Once you start looking at the numbers you start looking at the player. That's why you follow numbers. They lead you places. You look at what happening when the numbers show you patterns. That's where you start finding the problems that yards, TDs and Ints won't show you.

      ESPN guys talk Bryce fifth year option

      It's not relevant who wins or loses. It's about actually attempting to get better at the position.

      Bryce might be the most frustrating player we've ever had.

      Thank you. I don't understand how the Bryce stans don't see this. I've never seen a player get more hyped for doing so little. Honestly it's driving me a little insane.
