A Number of Good Panther Blurbs from PFF

Race For Rookie of the Year

4. [3] Cam Newton, QB, CAR: +6.9 (967 snaps)

As great as Newton has been–and he has been great–the Panthers’ QB has been far from perfect. He’s made a plethora of rookie errors the guys above him haven’t. That’s not to do a disservice to Newton whose year has been simply remarkable. He simply needs to become a more consistent passer to be the player his highlight reel suggests he might be.

He's behind two defensive players and a LT here btw

Just click that link there are pictures and poo. Basically the trick play at the goal line.

Refocused: Panthers at Texans

The Carolina Panthers came out of the gates fast in this one and led 21-0 at the half, then staved off a late Houston Texans rally for an entertaining 28-13 road win. Without co-ordinator Wade Phillips on the sideline, the Texans No. 1 ranked defense looked vulnerable and they were hurt by some costly mistakes on offense, ending their seven game winning streak.

The Texans fell a game behind New England for home field advantage in the AFC and although it’s impressive that they’ve managed to keep winning without Mario Williams, Andre Johnson and Matt Schaub, it’s uncertain how well equipped they are to cope with some of the AFC’s better teams. As we said earlier in the year, the 5-9 Panthers continue to look like a team that might be a force to be reckoned with next season.

There were some interesting performances this week, so let’s highlight some of the most influential:

They go very much by the numbers its a good system, not perfect but neither is subjective journalism.

pretty good website

they have their own ranking system. Obviously ranking LT to QBs is a little wonky, but PFF is literally the best football site there is.

Does anyone know how they come up with that number in the green?

edit: nevermind, found it...here is the link for anyone else interested.....http://www.profootballfocus.com/about/grading/

The word blurb is fantastic

they have a disclaimer that there award is "all positions are equal".

meaning, they don't look at a QB and K differently. If you are good, you are good. You don't get penalized b/c of your position vs. another.

That's the smart man's ROTY race. We all know that the NFL's ROTY race is about hype..and no rookie can match Cam's hype.

gotcha...I'm not really familiar with that site and didn't see that. Thanks for the explanation.

When you consider what is asked of a QB vs. a LB or offensive lineman, I think you have to give Cam the nod (and they acknowledge this).

not when you are trying to be as objective as possible.

Really..To say Cam has made "plethora of mistakes?" A Plethora!! So it's clear you can't discern the difference between opinions and reality. Outside of sitting there and over analyzing everything Cam does, what plethora of mistakes has he made? And why are we comparing apples to oranges when it comes to what he does vs. other positions?

[whytogo]

not when you are trying to be as objective as possible.

The last time I checked, a LB was neither expected to take his team to victory week in and out, nor was all eyes on every move he made.

So, no they are not being very objective. There is no way you are being objective if you feel what is expected of QB is the same as what is expected of a LB.

Also, when we're talking about those who make a living blogging or writing for the sake of getting our attention and playing on our emotions, the word "objective" isn't always the best adjective used to describe their thought pattern.

I want to see if Andrew Luck is half as successful as Cam next season will these folks be as "objective" with him in regards to the ROTY award.
