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.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By Navy_football · Posted

      It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
