On the flip side of the teams overachieving thanks to their QB play are the QBs whose teammates are letting them down, resulting in fewer team wins than would be expected given their Total QBR.

Most Wins Below Expected as starting QB this season:

Cam Newton CAR

Expected Wins: 6.7

Actual Wins: 4

Difference: -2.7

It's no surprise that No. 1 overall pick Cam Newton heads up this list. He's been playing very well all season -- average Total QBR of 56.1, including a career-high 91.3 on Sunday in Tampa Bay -- on an otherwise poor Carolina team.

If you're trying to decide between Newton and Andy Dalton for rookie of the year, make sure you look beyond the simple team W-L and take into account that Newton's performance would on average translate to 6.7 wins over 12 games. Dalton's play (45.2 average Total QBR) translates to about 5.4 wins, but his team is 7-5 because the Bengals are playing well in other areas.

A simple minded person like myself figured that one out.

If Cam was Blaine, or Luck, everyone in the sports world would be screaming for the Panthers to step up their game for them. Just keeping it real.

Expected Wins: 6.7: He either got his stats from carolinahuddle.com or he is a member. Last I checked Vegas had Panthers over/under at 4.5 wins and most people had thought that was high. I don't have insider so can someone explain where this number comes from.

They're basing it on their 82% correlation between QBR ratings and team wins. Cam's QBR is high enough to indicate that we should have 6.7 wins over 12 games rather than four.

What genius formula came up with the conclusion that the QB was the one responsible for not meeting their expected win threshold?

Actually, if you read the actual quote I linked to, you'd see they were saying the exact opposite. They said that Cam's team has let him down compared to the quality of his play, not vice versa.

Just the opposite. They are saying that if the team were playing as well as he were, we should have won more games. Based on his numbers compared to the win totals for other teams with quarterbacks performing as well as him, we should have more wins in the first 12 weeks. At least I think that is what they are saying........

FP was in there before I was.... LOL

Good thing they have a complicated formula to tell us what is plain as day to see. I wonder if they got one that shows, more people drive through green lights than red.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Jalen Carter came into camp out of shape too. That was part of the reason he dropped considering he was thought of as the better defensive player pre-draft activities. It’s not a good sign when you don’t look great but it’s definitely premature.

      We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
