Matt Miller Week 6 Power Rankings

No change in our rankings

Last Week: 14

This Week: 14

Change: 0

If you're a fan of the Carolina Panthers, their comeback against the Cincinnati Bengals was probably pretty sweet. But was the tie at the end of overtime satisfying?

The Panthers continue to play way over their collective talent level. With so many question marks at wide receiver, along the offensive line and in the secondary before the year, the Panthers weren't expected to compete at this level. But here they are, going toe-to-toe with one of the AFC's best teams.

Credit Ron Rivera. Credit Cam Newton. Definitely credit assistant coaches Ricky Proehl (wide receivers) and Sean McDermott (defensive coordinator). With a Week 7 win over the Green Bay Packers, we could be talking about one of the NFC's best teams. If they can double that up with a win over Seattle in Week 9, the Panthers will be a Top 5 team.

I feel like Matt Miller doesnt even watch football.

 

Indeed.  "Playing over their collective talent level"??  Are you serious?  We are playing so far below our talent level it's ridiculous.  Allowing 34 ppg over the past 4 games with Kuechly, Davis, CJ, Star, KK is mind blowing.  I wouldn't say our offense is playing below our talent level, they're about where they should be considering we have Cam, Olsen and KB but dealing with an atrocious OL and no run game.

We need someone other than Cam Newton to step up and make some plays on offense. Cotchery can't drop game winners, and Cam can't have 17 carries. Damn game looked like the Auburn tigers

I was thinking the exact same thing. And just like at Auburn, the preconceived hate for Cam is keeping the media from gushing over his dominant performance yesterday. He is the best QB in the NFL RIGHT NOW.

Meh, hard to credit McDermott when our D has given up 34+ points in three of the last four games. 

 

I think we lose next week at GB, but come back and beat the Seahawks at home. 

I think we have a better shot against GB the Seattle.  Lynch will be tough for us to stop.

 

Then again most of us thought we would lose to the Bears and the Bengals.....that's why this team is fun to watch.

Not saying he has the best body of work, but that if you switched him out with any other QB in any other offense RIGHT NOW he would be an improvement for every single team.

 

 

Are you really implying that Cam (or any other QB) can just be dropped into any style offense and be better than the QB that is running it now? 

 

Do you have any idea how long it takes a QB to learn a new offense?

    • It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game to go around   and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important.
