I'm NOT an ESPN insider subscriber so I can't access the analysis about the Panthers.

To project which NFL franchises are in the best shape for the next three seasons, we asked our panel of experts -- John Clayton, Louis Riddick and Mike Sando -- to rate each team on a scale of 0-100 in five categories: roster (excluding quarterback), quarterback, draft, front office and coaching.

Perhaps those who can access this could discuss the results here for the benefit of the rest of us?  :-)  Thanks!

I would think we'd have to be in pretty good shape right now.  Just off the top of my head I'd rank us around #8....

The overview: General manager Dave Gettleman has taken heat at times during his tenure, but the Carolina front office jumped from 24th to 14th in our rankings, the fifth-largest raw improvement for any team in that category. The Panthers also gained in coaching (22nd to 16th) as the defense showed dramatic improvement despite losing Greg Hardy and turning over its secondary in a manner that invited criticism early in the season

 

They praised out draft last year and the pick ups of Corey Brown and Norwell.  

In the delimma section they were critical of the usual things, lack of speed receiver and Oher at LT.  Also mentioned Kelvins Hammy issues.  We are ranked first in the NFC South.  Not bad, but it was the usual stuff we've been hearing for the last 4 months.

Also had your typical "surprised to see the Panthers in top 10 because 7-8-1" from Mark Brunell. Also mentioned being surprised Colts not in top 10, and how he would put the Colts in top 5. And then made comment about Luck going to be one of the best to have ever played the game.

      I'm convinced Harden wants to do nothing but put up pretty shots and try to draw fouls and then do nothing on defense lol. Brunson went off though

      what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

      Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens.

      Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.
