The Defense:

18th in pts allowed = 21.4

This while being on the field on average 36-38 minutes of the game. This while our O has given the other team the ball on short fields so many times - and many of those the D held them to 3pts.

Now the following look really good, but are driven by defending a short field following turn overs.

4th in TOT Yds = 301.7

5th in Pass Yds = 182.7

YES, I acknowledge that there have been a few blown coverages, several bone head plays, but what team ever goes thru a season without that happening from time to time? I'm just impressed that as bad as we have looked, the D has for all intensive purposes looked good.

The D is 6th in interceptions with 10 - they have forced 4 fumbles and recovered 3. I'd say thats pretty respectable.

There is not much thay can do when we turn the ball over and the opposing team begins in the Red Zone.

So with all the frustration and being haters - lets at least acknowledge that our D has played good enough for us to win.

LOTS of posts here talk about the defense being on the field so long. Fact is if the offense had the ball only 2 min and 59 sec per more game it would be 50% offense and 50% defense.

Patriots D is on field more than Panthers and they're doing pretty good. 6-1

The avergae makes it look like close to 50%. I'm seeing several 36+"s and remember I'm talking ALOT of short fields in those minutes.

Rams = 36:28

49ers = 36:05

Bears 29:41

Saints = 38:22

Bengals 23:88 = this is the one that throws the average out of wack

Bucs 29:00

Giants = 34:39

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.

      Jones got projected as the next Eli because they share a similar goofball, on the spectrum energy.  That's my theory.

      I didn't think underrated was the wildest statement. The passing and offensive command he showed in week 18 against Atlanta was as good as any QB that has ever played for this franchise.  I mean THAT part is wild.  Which plays into the overrated part.  End of regulation I don't think he even hit 200 yards passing.  I mean he had a very efficient day vs a weak defense.   As good as we have ever seen in Carolina?
