PFF Grades for Week 3 @ NE

[Icege]

Bah Gawd, six missed tackles on special teams in one outing?

We are in LB Hell.

Bryce Young and Chandler Zavala bottom two offense grades? Some fans are going to believe PFF this week (or try to cope with, "even PFF could see how bad Bryce was!!!").

What more do Brady Christensen and Lathan Ransom have to do to stay on the field?

The Brycen Tremayne agenda continues

#1 run blocker. Found our franchise WR4/5.

Starting Zavala over Christensen was always a head-scratcher to me. Brady should be the first guy off the bench at every position.

Might be WR3 if Coker comes back and lights it up but XL doesn't.

Gonna pull for XL til he's no longer a Panther regardless. I gotta support folks from the Carolinas when they make it to the league.

To put these numbers into better focus, panthers overall had better “offensive efficiency” than the patriots.

A 0 in blocking for Zavala is incredible. How is he on the roster?

The fact our linebackers suck is maybe the worst thing though. In a 3-4 that's the most important position. We drafted great linebackers consistently for decades before this stupid shift to the 3-4 and now we just have garbage

A 0.0 on 10 pass block snaps is insane. If things slow down later today I'm hoping to get a chance to start watching the all-22. The review thread is not going to be fun to have to put together this week.

Looking at the numbers (plus Carolina being able to move the ball across midfield before shitting out), it's hard to believe the score was 13 - 42.

Any time the offense got across midfield the clamps got put on. Situational football was a nightmare yesterday. Dragged ass (and got asses dragged) in all three phases of the game like what they had done to Atlanta the week before.

Bruh, there's certainly "cope" going on with Bryce but it ain't coming from the folks saying he ass.

I mean, there really is cope coming from y'all.

Did Bryce play well yesterday? Not at all. Was he the reason special teams gave up 167yds on 3 punt returns? Not at all. Was he the reason Chandler Zavala and Brandon Walton were ass? Nope. Was he the reason that the LBs continue to be doo doo? Negative.

Hell, at this rate he's definitely not getting the bonus option picked up and it's going to be back to drafting "the guy" in April 2026 (2027 at the latest). He just hasn't been good enough in year 3. How in the world could you of all people call that cope?

The cope really comes down to people thinking that Bryce is the main issue that this team is ass when that just hasn't been the case. Is there a low ceiling with Bryce as the QB? Looking like it, but the floor isn't in the dirt because of him. When somebody is spending 90% of their time on the board bitching about the QB and derailing threads just to do so, that's cope.

Just as I said in the panthers game thread....

I didn't realize Brady even played yesterday

There’s no other position on the team that would have as big an impact with simply league average play as a new qb. 

But sure keep harping on backup guard play. The hundred dollar answer to the million dollar problem.
