PFF: Trai Turner has regressed immensely. Newton isn't good under pressure (duh).

Top offensive grades:

QB Cam Newton, 79.3

C Gino Gradkowski, 79.3

RT Daryl Williams, 78.7

LT Mike Remmers, 77.0

WR Devin Funchess, 70.9

Rebuilt line still a work in progress

Much of Carolina’s success in 2015 was built on the physicality of its front five. Injuries have disrupted the group’s continuity and offensive production has suffered as a result. Mike Remmers still appears psychologically scarred from his Super Bowl beatdown at the hands of Denver’s Von Miller, and the move from right to left tackle hasn’t made things any easier. He has allowed 34 combined pressures this season, after giving up 56 in the entirety of 2015. Trai Turner also appears to have regressed, highlighted by an ugly beat in pass protection which saw him barely touch Chris Jones on his way to the quarterback. In only his sixth start, RT Daryl Williams experienced predictable hiccups in pass protection.

Solid day against mundane offense for Panthers’ defense

It wasn’t an out-of-this-world performance from the Carolina defense against Kansas City, but the Panthers held their own and provided their offense with opportunities to put this game away. Linebacker Luke Kuechly once again led the defense, tallying a team-high six stops on the day (a stop is a solo tackle which constitutes as a loss for the offense, given the situation), while also getting a hit on Chiefs QB Alex Smith and playing excellent defense in pass coverage. Rookie corner James Bradberry limited the receiver opposite him to just three catches on six targets for a total of 33 yards. Robert McClain allowed all three balls thrown into his coverage to be caught, but Chiefs receivers gained just 10 yards total on those three catches. Mario  Addison led the team with six total QB pressures, with one of those being a sack.

No defensive grades for us for some odd reason.

I don't believe those PFF grades for a second. Gradkowski played terrible yesterday. On that pick Cam threw he literally didn't block a soul.

He is also the reason Trai has taken a nose dive. Give Cam another real tackle and watch the man work .
