That is an incredibly good stat. Aren't most good QBs in the 30s?

I really liked Clady in the draft and would still favor him seeing how well Otah has panned out. We could have stuck Clady at LT and kept Gross at RT. It's not like Clady is a small lineman and bad run blocking, he's just much better at pass blocking imo.

Clady had a couple of knocks on him going into the draft that are textbook examples of over analyzing by draft gurus. He pitched a less than steller 16 on the worthless Wonderlic, het picked up the most complicated offense in the NFL from day 1. He also played against supposedly inferior competition at Boise State, but he's stonewalled the NFL's top DE's every week...go figure. His run blocking is not as good yet but he's getting there. Against the Chiefs last week he wiped out a linebacker 20 yards downfield on a running play...that's a 325 pounder getting to the second level. It will come...for now we're just glad he's got Jay's back. Shanahan has been reluctant to draft OL guys in the top of the draft...fortunately he departed from that in this case.

Denver's O-line is on pace to allow the 3rd fewest sacks in NFL history. They have only allowed 8 sacks all year, but 3 of those sacks were credited to backs and TE's.

Clady has only given up .5 a sack this year I can't wait to see what he does against arguably the best DE in the NFL.

Stats are for losers. But if you wanna a stat

Tampa had only given up one rushing td all season until monday night, now they have given up 5. So your stats can be thrown out the window. It's what you do on the field at that moment

Clady tho a rookie this year is having a great season and proving he can hang with some big boys. 0 sacks to Porter/ 0 Sacks to Abraham. How do you think Peppers will do against him? I say 1.5 sacks on his side and 2 sacks not against him.

I pray he totally tears his @ss up....

That's a good post. People don't realize how well Clady has been playing. Remember we've been throwing more than other teams, have not had a consistent running game, and have been trailing late in games where defenses know we're going to throw. It's basically a worst case scenario for a tackle. Despite this he's only surrendered half a sack and stonewalled some of the best. And this knock on Clady's run blocking is exaggerated. He started out slow, but remember our line has had 8 different starters at RB, so it's been hard for all our linemen to get into any kind of rhythm in the run game. Clady was destroying players in the last game. Safeties were running away from him on the toss sweeps. I mean he played a zone-run scheme in college so it's not like he's a moron out there.

As for going against Peppers, I don't think Peppers gets a sack. I'm not saying that to be rude, I just think the more speed burst players haven't given him a problem this year. He tends to struggle (again this is relative as he's not really been beat that much this year) against power ends.

So which do you qualify Peppers as? A speed DE or a power DE? Because anybody who has watched him much will tell you that he is both and that is what makes him so good. Much like a Strahan type DE, he can run by you on one play and then straight flat back a tackle on the next play.

Clady has been very good this year, so has Pep. Its pretty much a toss up, I know this though, if they single him up on Pep all day, Pep will get his sack.

      NBA Draft

      I don't follow the NBA but I think that kid has a lot of upside. Really good athlete for his size.

      Will the Panthers be better than most are expecting?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      I truly don't see how they could be any worse than last season. Having a rookie head coach isn't always great but he seems to care much more than Frank ever did and appears to actually put forth effort while also having some sort of desire to improve so that in itself should help them exceed expectations.

      Underdog 2nd year QB preview

      I literally said in my other post that we still deserve criticism, so what are you talking about?  Do you even know what my initial post was about?  Never once did I say it was okay to draft a bust because other teams draft busts. Mods, feel free to put me in my place if I'm going too far.  But it needs to be said. Some of you need to start reading posts in full instead of making it about Bryce every single damn time.  Ultimately my point was that drafting QBs is hard, and if it wasn't the Panthers mistake, it would have been another teams.  Just like Trey Lance, just like Mac Jones, just like Blake Bortles, just like Blaine Gabbert,... I can go on and on.   Yes, Panthers screwed up (assuming Bryce doesn't improve).  Yes, we should be criticized.  But it happens.  The guy asked how it happens and I was just answering his question.  That teams miss on QBs every year, because getting a QB is hard and teams will take every opportunity they can to get one.  But I'm not about to sit and discuss this with someone who thinks Levis even had .001% chance of going ahead of Bryce.  That tells me all I need to know.  No reasonable person would even throw him in the discussion.
