Panthers PFF Grades

[Riverboat Ron]

Most impress with Narwhal and Philadelphia Brown.

Ealy did get a pretty bad grade but D-lineman tend to struggle early on in their careers, especially DEs. Hoping for improvement from him, apparently there's concerns with his maturity or his drive to be a great player

The thing with the Ealy grade is I feel I would have noticed him sucking more.  When Everette was playing for us everyone got a terrible feeling watching him.  Hopefully it's just him being a rookie DE like everyone says and he gets better.

Ealy showed flashes and that was a good sign.

Good gosh, Bell at -33.4 overall. Absolutely brutal.

I think there is some validity to PFF, especially in their evaluations of one-on-one situations. Meaning I take a lot of stock in their grades for receivers and defensive backs, especially on passing plays. Even with running backs it is fairly useful in terms of yards after contact, broken tackles, etc. However, the assignments for lineman are a lot harder to decipher if you're not the coach calling the plays and knowing who has what assignment on a given play. A guy could look like he got beat when he is just trying to cover (late) for another guy that blew an assignment. Offensive lineman by their very nature are switching guys off bc the defense is constantly trying to trick them or overload a certain part of the line via blitzing. I trust Rivera and Gettleman's evaluation way more than a 3rd party website. Both have proven to be pretty straight up in their evaluations of guys to the media. I honestly feel way better about the offensive line outside of LT this year than any year since probably '08 or '09. Jordan Gross really was a guy it was easy to take for granted. As long as CJ stays healthy, I feel pretty good about the defensive line. Obviously it would be awesome to still have CJ and Hardy, but I don't want to discount what KK brings. He has quietly become of the best interior rushers in the NFL. The D line still has top 10 potential, maybe top 5 if Ealy or Big Frank step up That being said, I do like PFF. But there's a lot more to the value of lineman (and linebackers for that matter) than what somebody watching film and not knowing the play call is going to see

If you look at Ealy's PFF grade over the course of the season you get a trend toward the positive.

Sheesh... that difference between all the players we benched/cut/replaced for injury compared to that second half roster turnover... literally the difference in going from one of the worst teams in the league to one of the better ones.

WE WANT FRANK! WE WANT FRANK!

Bumping this up as it's interesting to review on the eve of our 1st game of the season.

Could someone post the 2014 grades for the following players? 

Ted Ginn,

Michael Oher

Charles Tillman

Kurt Coleman

I'm working on a table to track the grades of all the Panthers 2015 starters.  Right now PFF is not allowing any new Premium Stats subscribers.  They're apparently working on some other kind of subscription package for stats.  I'm planning to join when it becomes possible...

THANKS!

Here's a table just showing the players on our 2015 Roster - OFFENSE

Just to be clear, all the ratings below in this table and the ones to follow are the ratings for the 2014 season.  I haven't added anything related to 2015 preseason.  And I've not yet added in any of the new players on our 53 man roster or PS:
