According to the Stats, Our Offensive Line Sucks

After looking at some stats, it looks like the Carolina Panthers offensive line ranks 31st in the league in run blocking. 3.45 yd/carry. They get stuffed 24% of the time which is 30th in the league.

1.04 yd/carry getting to the 2nd level which is 23rd in the league, and .46 yd/carry in the open field which is 28th. This was before yesterdays game.

So the stats should spiral upward.

Jordan Gross side of the line is ranked 31st in the league and Byron Bells side is ranked 28th. However, Byron Bell himself is ranked 16th overall.

Over center position is ranked 28th overall.

These aren't good numbers and they should be corrected if the Panthers plan on making a playoff run next year.

I want to add that we are ranked bottom in the league in rushes at 244 and the leading team which is Houston has 415. If Deangelo needs carries to get going this isn't the way with the way this team is going.

Now is Chud a genius and is Rivera showing his knowledge with x's and o's?

Pass protection ranks 23rd!

------- 2011 ------

Last year the offensive line ranked 5th overall in run blocking and 21st in pass protection.

Every line has had problems this year but I will admit the line is starting to gel since they have been playing with each other for the past weeks longer than any line this year.

However, this problem needs to be worked out. I want a nt for the first pick if he is best available but now I am leaning more towards an olineman to keep Cam from getting injured.

Good to see our observations that Gross is straight garbage is not an overreaction or witch hunt of the highest paid OL. We need to upgrade LT and RG bad.

I'm going back and rewatching several games. I just got done with Chicago where Gross was pretty solid. Watching Dallas now.

I think Gross is overpaid, but not a liability.

RG has been an issue all year long.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
