Recommended Posts

I will be updating this thread as the season goes on so we can see how the team is trending on the important rankings. Yes, yes, I know the W-L is the most important stat you nincompoops.

 

This is for those interested in the trends of the Panthers offense and defense as compared to week 1...

 

Week 3

 

Offense

 

Yards per game - 24th  +4

Points per game - 17st +14

Total Plays - 13th +14

 

Defense

 

Yards per game - 10th +4

Points per game - 4th +1

3rd down % - 17th -5

 

 

To all of you saying stats are not important... take a look around at all the happy fans, then notice all the green in this post.

How did we drop 5 spots in 3rd down %

 

yeah, not quite sure about that either.

 

Seahawks Third Down Efficiency 6/13 - 46%

Bills Third Down Efficiency 6/14 - 42%

Giants Third Down Efficiency 3/12 - 25%

 

seems like we've done nothing but get better there.

I would assume that other teams in the NFL have just done better on third down than we have since week 1.  Especially with the scoring that happened in week 1, its possible almost everyone in the NFL had bad 3rd down %, and just by normal games happening the past 2 weeks, its starting to even itself out a bit.  Atleast, that is the only guess I can muster.

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
