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?

    • You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
    • 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.
