PFF Game Ball

A close one between Cam Newton and Star Lotulelei, but the vet gets the nod over the rookie with his smooth performance completing 88% of his passes including five-of-six for 74 yards when blitzed.

Cam absolutely shredding the blitz, obviously been working on that in practice since ARI.

Push for DROY

Star Lotulelei (+4.1) vaulted himself right back to the head of the race for Defensive Rookie of the Year with a dominating performance in run defense, leading the way to hold the Rams to 3.0 YPC rushing. Predominantly lining up at DRT (27-of-43 snaps), the rookie gained a stop on 33% of his snaps in run defense, including two TFLs and two more tackles for short gain. That ridiculous number could’ve been even higher if not for a missed tackle in pursuit of a Zac Stacy run. Whether it was his quickness, as at 0:33 in the second, or his power, like at 0:19 in the third, the St. Louis OL simply couldn’t handle Lotulelei in the run game. He proved tough to handle as a pass rusher too, notching up two hurries and a hit on the day.

 

Super Star.

Early in the year Cam struggled mightily against the blitz.  I blame it half and half on him and Shula.  He was holding the ball too long.  He should've been throwing it away or scrambling sooner.  However, Shula just kept calling 5 to 7 step dropbacks with slow developing routes.  It was the perfect storm of how to stagnate an offense.  Glad to see both he and Shula adapting to this.

I would love to have 3 straight DROY but Star would probably have to go crazy to beat Alonso.

 

strong against the run according to advanced metrics is all well and good, but unless you've got traditional stats that jump out off the page (tackles, sacks, FF's) you probably won't win.

    • You do, the guy who doesn’t appear to grasp projection.  as the entire board knows, I do in fact, take positions.  The position here I have taken is that Bryce Young is a weak bottom tier starting QB, without NFL starting QB tools, that we must move on from.  
    • The OP for one. Asserting that people blamed Bryce for the loss in the title of the thread. That was not the prevailing sentiment at the time this thread was created. Very much a minority thing, I don’t remember but maybe one person if that, putting it on Bryce as the main reason. Troll thread. Did a good job too. Look at the pages.  Someone counting up the draft picks as 10 on offense and 10 on defense or whatever the number was, today or yesterday - of which the offensive ones were heavily 1s and 2s and the defensive picks were heavily day 3 and declaring that proof that the offense wasn’t favored like people claim. The obvious neglect we watched for two years. I spent time refuting that bullshit because someone needed to.  People saying we are bad horrible people and hate poor lil Bryce for no reason, as if it is a personal thing. Constantly.   Along the same lines is people saying we non Bryce fans would rather lose than have him play well and the team wins. That we are mad when the team wins   Point illustrated.
