Although the jacket may not qualify as an EGC it still is required to be grounded which means that it needs a proper connector to attach it to the panel enclosure.

There are numerous ways to do this in a code compliant manner, the one depicted in the photo isn't one of them. :)

How come you are not connecting the MC cable directly to the panel ?

It looks better than the first photo and it seems to be code compliant, however I would suggest using Erico Caddy CJ6 MC Cable supports to strap that MC. It is a much quicker than screwing to the inside of the studs and it keeps the cable far away from the drywallers' screw guns.
