Dispelling the new myth about our offense and defense

Recommended Posts

The new narrative amongst some on here is that:

"you are being misled. Our defense is fine but we have an inefficient offense that puts too much undue pressure on our defense. That is why our defense is ranked 18th in YPG but is giving giving up 26 points per game. It is because we have a very inefficient offense that is 5th in YPG but only averages 23.5 PPG!! Only smart people can see this!!11!1"

Well according to www.advancednflstatistics.com this new narrative simply doesn't hold water.

According to advanced statistics we are actually ranked 4th in overall offensive efficiency and we are ranked 29th in defensive efficiency.

Now this website uses a formula a little more complex than the YPG + PPG = efficiency formula that some are trying to push as an example of efficiency.

This website will breakdown offenses and defenses to every single snap. They take into consideration turnovers, field position (in other words scoring on a long field is weighted more heavily than scoring with a short field and vice versa for the defensive analysis), penalties, point per possession, third down conversion percentage (also weighted by third down distance), and just a ton of different variables that should go into properly evaluating and offense or defense.

Our offense hasn't been perfect. But it isn't the main problem either.

The good news is our defense is improving. We are up to 29th. We were 32nd three weeks ago.

Spin away if you must PFFL/Pantherball/ProBowler/TheOneThatStungDelhommey/Stew23/whatever new alt you come up with after your inevitable ban once again :lol:

    • I suppose it depends on what you mean as 'elite'. I typically mean someone that can play with lower level pieces around them and still win. There are very few of those. 
    • It would obviously be incredible if Brooks came back and just ran away with the job on his opportunities like Rico Dowdle did last year. But any Panthers fan that has been around the block knows better than to go ahead and make plans for that. Brooks has missed a ton of not just playing time but meaningful early career growth in a league that has increasingly devalued the position from an investment standpoint beyond one or two superstars. There's really not any comparison to look back on that lines up with the current iteration of the league at least not favorably. The key thing that this RB room has going for them is our investment in the OL. The highest paid OL in the league two years in a row paired with our staff should make it easier for just about any RB to get into open running lanes. But that is also anything but a given considering our OL was largely middle of the pack last year. In the end it might all be a moot point anyways if we again struggle to establish a viable passing attack.
    • I don't have him making the team and I think same goes for the staff, but they are hopeful for a PS spot.    I mean of course I'd like 3 all-world at RB and every spot, just doesn't work that why. Panthers normally carry 3. dan always talk up Etienne, even called him a future star.....I think Brooks will be fine as a 2 with health pls.....  Chubba can carry a seasons load as lead dawg.    Its fine, I mean backup OGs or CB is much higher on my worry scale(Id even put QB room as worse than RB room too...)
