Who do you think will be this seasons most improved player on the Panthers......last season it was DWill easily. This season I think it will be Charles Johnson...I think we can at least expect him to get 8+ sacks this year.......if he can step up, our DE's will be scary. Tell me what u think

If Johnson breaks into the starting lineup, or gets significant reps on third down, then I agree with you. I think CJ has tremendous potential and could certianly be the long-term solution opposite E. Brown. Or maybe I should say that E. Brown will be the long-term solution opposite CJ. Absolutely love what we've seen from CJ so far.

I also have high hopes for Godfrey this year. He played pretty well last year but had some bad lapses at some crucial times (but then again, so did a few other players). I think other guys might show greater improvement from last year (like Barnidge) but I'm hoping Godfrey will do well in a looser defensive scheme and erase any doubts about his ability to be a long-term solution for us at free safety. If he doesn't thrive, safety will be a crucial position to look at in the next offseason.

agreed with possibilities of cj, barnidge, godfrey. What about someone like carter. He hasn't ever really played though, so I don't know if he could really be improved....just good. Also, Jarrett comes to mind.

I think Charles Godfrey will be most improved. He blew a lot of coverages so it will be a night and day difference this year.

I don't think Charles Johnson will improved that much but he will contribute more. I've rewatched a lot of games and he will be very good when given the oppurtunity. I think he just needs more chances to show off what he's got.

Jeff Otah could also stand to improved his pass protection.

Landon Johnson might finally be able to shine.

    • I'm going to humor you in case you're actually being sincere and are just ignorant. Also, you're not very good at tossing barbs. Please stop.  I did not say random; I said arbitrary. That is a much different thing.  You're comparing QBR in starts across multiple coaching staffs, seasons, offensive personnel, against defenses with wildly variable of levels of competency, and don't really have a lot of data points. Choosing the dividing line at pre and post benching is arbitrary, and it's not even consistent. He was benched in his first season too. Why not when Reich was fired? Or when Canales was hired? Or when they drafted XL?  Also, what are potential lurking variables here? I would if I was grading this tell you that you're not really showing anything useful. If your argument is that his QBR has trended up on a per game average from "this point" on then congrats yes you're correct. This is called cherry picking data.  I understand you're trying to make this quick and dirty, but QB rating by itself doesn't really paint a useful picture. A simple thing you could do it do a second line along the same time domains of what the defense ranked league wide at the time they played each other. I would try to use a cumulative stat from the same source, tho. So qb rating v scoring defense across these specific truncated set of games that have occurred across three seasons with multiple coaching staff.  Some other suggestions for you  1. This is the wrong type of graph. You want a scatter point.  2. The range for QB rating improvement is like 15 points or whatever. The y axis is broken up into 25s. How can I quantify the line?  3. Quarterback rating goes to 158.3. Why does your line only go to 125?  The only thing I would really take from this is that Bryce Young sucks in a way that QB rating doesn't pick up on. This is what you'd call a "problem with the data."  Lastly, I would point out that QB rating as a formula was finalized in 1973. Offenses were so anemic back then it's referred to as the "dead ball era." Maybe not the best metric to measure QB success half a century later. like buddy i've taken masters level data science courses, and believe me I've done some shitty fuging work. my masters thesis ended up being about why my method of data collection didn't work well enough for me to defend my thesis. I wrote 100 pages just kinda shrugging and saying "Well ya know covid is so challenging etc."  You're trying to tell people their eyes are lying to them and are posting a very bad graph to do so. Don't be upset when people not only argue with you but point out how bad your graph is.
