synopsis;

 

using Pro Football Focus grading system, http://www.profootballfocus.com/about/grading/  here are top 5;

 

Kansas City, + 21.4

Seattle, + 20.7

Detroit, + 19.4

Tennessee, + 15.9

Baltimore, +15.1

 

According to the article,   "This (grading system) will go beyond looking at which teams have the most sacks, but assessing (relative to how much they rush the passer) which teams are generating the highest quality of pressure, accounting for such things as time to pressure, whether it comes unblocked or as the failings of the offense and if it comes in garbage time.

 

Trying to see where the Panthers are ranked but can't locate the remaining list.  Should Panthers be here?

We have pressured well in 2 games.....

Some teams have played 4 games and had more chances to show what they are. With such a small sample I would think that Buffalo game hurts us.....which would knock us out of that that ranking

The Panthers have had one game in which they rushed the passer well. they need to repeat that a few more times.

They rushed the passer very well against Seattle. He just eluded it. That was probably a 6 sack game against anyone but 2-3 QBs.

There pressure numbers were good

I wouldn't say the pass rush against Seattle was "quality" considering Wilson put up a lot of yards against us.

In this system, we've had one great game and 2 mediocre games.

Past rush got to him and altered plays....

Problem is our secondary is a hot mess....he danced and eluded solid pressure

The pressure we generated against Seattle....results in loads of sacks against guys like Eli Manning.

Anyone who has watched the 3 games so far knows this is a good pass rushing team.  I still personally put a lot of stock in the "unscientific" eyeball test. 

 

By the same token, I still think our secondary, while looking good against the Giants, lacks talent and will be exposed some throughout the year when the pass rush fails.

Yep, we haven't played enough yet for everyone to fully see all the strengths and weaknesses.

Wait until we find a vertical passing QB who gets some time. If the front 4 takes time off against Palmer it could be big trouble

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
