Unsung Cornerbacks: Oh Captain my Captain

From Yas

But the NFC South has far more to offer than just that when it comes to strong cornerback play. Let’s turn to Football Outsiders for a look at some unique statistics that put some NFC South cornerbacks in a very positive light.

Carolina’s Captain Munnerlyn, who sometimes has been overshadowed by Chris Gamble and Richard Marshall was No. 3 at 1.9 yards after the catch.

The article is using Footbal Outsiders "Best Cornerback Charting Stats" The three stats they use for judging CBs are Success Rate, Yards per Pass and YAC Allowed.

Captain's League Rankings...

YAC Allowed: 3rd

Success Rate: 26th

Yards per Pass: 27th

I've heard a lot of people on here saying that Munnerlyn cannot be a starting CB. According to this analysis, he is one of the top 32 in the NFL, at least

    • There's a flip side to that, if he has 2 or 3 more great games and we make the playoffs, there's going to a tsunami of momentum to extend him going into next year. If he remains inconsistent, we will all be arguing all off season long. I think he's done enough to where he's going to at the very least, be the starter in 2026. Nothing is going to change that with 7 wins on the board at this point, even if we flame out and lose the remainder of them. We haven't won 7 games  If we win 8 games, that would be our highest win total since the 2017 season. That's very significant. 
    • GWD is the critical stat for an NFL QB. What you need for perspective is GWD %.  This is how many opportunities he converts. 2023 was 12.5%. 2024 was 33.3%. 2025 is 50%. Career is 28.9%. A consistent playoff winning QB is in the 30% range. A championship caliber QB is in the 40% range. He has been tracking well even with his major limitations under the development of Canales. This is the only reason he is holding on, but he is at the same level of a Derek Carr with the Raiders. Carr was 32.4% GWD in his first 3 seasons with 12 GWD in 37 opportunities. This gives you perspective on why he is frustrating to evaluate. Carr did what for the Raiders? 2 winning seasons in 9 seasons with 4 different HCs/OCs. This is what we want as Panthers fans? A decade of average with potential and many moments of hope? At least he'll win a QB skill competition like Carr, right?
