ESPN Insider ranks Panthers OL the worst in the NFL

Preseason rankings are pretty worthless, but honestly, most of us have been working under the assumption that we do in fact have the weakest OL in the league on paper.

 

exactly, right now the facts don't lie but I think our O-line is going to be fine. Doubt they'll be dominate but they'll be respectable and won't be as weak as advertised. They've been hearing this all offseason and only will grow and get better with time barring any injuries.

Good. I hope this is displayed in the OL room for all to see.

 

Pretty much what we have to hope for.  The OL has to work together as a unit more than any other unit on a football team.  We have to hope that they band together and that the whole turns out to be more than the sum of the parts.

Well, the Seahawks supposedly had the #32 ranked OL last year.  As long as we win the Lombardi, works for me. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PS-For the love of Pete, do SOMETHING before Sept. 7 GMan!!! 

 

FWIW, I've heard some SEA fans still complaining about their line like it's hella bad

Apparently they rank our DL and DE poorly as well

@macwfnz: @pff ranks our Edge Rushers 7th and our Interior D-Line 19th. Are you kidding me?

Just wow. I'd like to hear the rationale behind that one. We have the same personnel with more experience.

Do the ESPN morons understand that Wharton wasn't on our roster at this time last year? He didn't sign until 8/25.

I understand the OT questions because I also have them, but our interior guys should be fine.

ESPN still pays Chris Berman to work for them. Think about that. That fact alone automatically dismisses all of their content and the content of their subsidiaries as corn filled crap.

If Jake Matthews continues to struggle for the Falcons they could be up there too.  

 

Sorry to sidetrack from the gag reflex absurdity of our DL ranking, but I didn't know he was struggling?  I read not too long ago he looked good.  Great news if true.

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
