Race For Rookie of the Year

4. [3] Cam Newton, QB, CAR: +6.9 (967 snaps)

As great as Newton has been–and he has been great–the Panthers’ QB has been far from perfect. He’s made a plethora of rookie errors the guys above him haven’t. That’s not to do a disservice to Newton whose year has been simply remarkable. He simply needs to become a more consistent passer to be the player his highlight reel suggests he might be.

He's behind two defensive players and a LT here btw

Just click that link there are pictures and poo. Basically the trick play at the goal line.

Refocused: Panthers at Texans

The Carolina Panthers came out of the gates fast in this one and led 21-0 at the half, then staved off a late Houston Texans rally for an entertaining 28-13 road win. Without co-ordinator Wade Phillips on the sideline, the Texans No. 1 ranked defense looked vulnerable and they were hurt by some costly mistakes on offense, ending their seven game winning streak.

The Texans fell a game behind New England for home field advantage in the AFC and although it’s impressive that they’ve managed to keep winning without Mario Williams, Andre Johnson and Matt Schaub, it’s uncertain how well equipped they are to cope with some of the AFC’s better teams. As we said earlier in the year, the 5-9 Panthers continue to look like a team that might be a force to be reckoned with next season.

There were some interesting performances this week, so let’s highlight some of the most influential:

He is 4th in the race for ROTY?....wtf are they smoking?

they have a disclaimer that there award is "all positions are equal".

meaning, they don't look at a QB and K differently. If you are good, you are good. You don't get penalized b/c of your position vs. another.

That's the smart man's ROTY race. We all know that the NFL's ROTY race is about hype..and no rookie can match Cam's hype.

Really..To say Cam has made "plethora of mistakes?" A Plethora!! So it's clear you can't discern the difference between opinions and reality. Outside of sitting there and over analyzing everything Cam does, what plethora of mistakes has he made? And why are we comparing apples to oranges when it comes to what he does vs. other positions?

not when you are trying to be as objective as possible.

The last time I checked, a LB was neither expected to take his team to victory week in and out, nor was all eyes on every move he made.

So, no they are not being very objective. There is no way you are being objective if you feel what is expected of QB is the same as what is expected of a LB.

Also, when we're talking about those who make a living blogging or writing for the sake of getting our attention and playing on our emotions, the word "objective" isn't always the best adjective used to describe their thought pattern.

I want to see if Andrew Luck is half as successful as Cam next season will these folks be as "objective" with him in regards to the ROTY award.

      Most hated teams

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
