Panthers PFF Grades - Offense

[Jeremy Igo]

This week on the PFF grades, Cam Newton leads the offensive group this week, and rightfully so. The entire offensive line for the Panthers is in the positive for the first time this season. 

Ed Dickson and Richie Brockel are the last in line. This won't exactly help Brockel's case to those fans wondering what his role is on the team.

Michael Oher was our best off-season acquisition.

How many games has our entire starting offensive line been positive?

The entire offensive line for the Panthers is in the positive for the first time this season.

Michael Oher was our best off-season acquisition. 

It's all about context. 

 

If we went from Jordan Gross to Michael Oher we would be pulling our hair out. 

But since we went from Byron Bell to Michael Oher, we are singing his praises.

This is why PFF should be taken with a grain of salt... Olsen had a career day and is a .2

[Jackofalltrades]

Michael Oher was our best off-season acquisition. 

Most important, but I'd argue both Ginn and Coleman are in the conversation as well.

[mav1234]

Olsen's 0.2 amuses me.

That's because he sucked ass in blocking, duh.  He had a career day in passing which PFF recognized.

Who gives a poo how he blocked when he's going for 150 yards and two touchdowns

Obviously they have to, hence the reason it's called statistics.

This isn't normal statistics though. I don't see how Olsen's pass catching impact could have been offset by his run blocking. I'm not doubting he wasn't good at blocking, I just doubt that his performance was equally as bad as his receiving was good. 

[countryboi]

almost the whole Oline is in the positive yet we cant run the ball for poo. some of that has to fall on Stewart he seems to be slowing down in the whole.
