Carolina Panthers biggest weakness as of today....

What is the Panthers biggest weakness today?

 

Looking over the roster, I have to think it comes down between offensive tackle and defensive end.

 

Huge question mark at left tackle.

Defensive end unit that hasn't improved this offseason and was pretty awful last season.

 

What say you?

Long snapper! (just to be different!)

I think it's really the offensive tackles.  We're putting our trust in a guy who still isn't clear of the concussion protocol and a guy who was basically written off by the team that drafted him.  That's the biggest fear.

This draft is deep in pass rushers, and extremely light in quality tackles.  We can find some pass rush, but good luck on keeping Cam upright if Kalil and Oher stink it up.

The vikings made attempts to retain Kalil. 

That is not writing him off, no matter how you spin it. 

Yes, at this point, it is hope that he regains is probowl form. 

The options at LT were few, and not great. I believe we got the one with the highest ceiling.

    • DeAngelo Williams: 1515 yards (2008) Steven Davis: 1444 yards (2003) Christian McCaffrey: 1387 yards (2019) Chuba Hubbard: 1195 yards (2024) Jonathan Stewart: 1133 yards (2009)   DeAngelo Williams 1515 yards in 2008 are most in Panthers history for a season this was when Double Trouble was at it's height. That year he averaged 94 yards a game. Steven Davis missed 2 games 2003 so he comes in at the most yards per game in a season at 103 yards. Mccaffrey averaged 86 yards a game in his 2019 campaign he also recorded 1005 yards receiving making his season statistically the best in Panthers history for a RB, had the Panthers had a better record he could have been a favorite for MVP. Dowdle currently is averaging 81 yards a game despite only starting 3 games thus far. In the games he has started 206, 183, 130 he's averaging 173 yards. In Green Bay he rushed for 130 despite having a 21 yard run wiped out due to illegal procedure penalty that could of saw a 150 yard day.    Top 5 yards per carry. Dowdle 5:6 (2025) Williams: 5.5 (2008) Stewart: 5.1 (2009) Mccaffrey: 4.8 (2019) Hubbard: 4.7 (2024) If Dowdle continues even close to the pace he's on he's poised to break DeAngelo Williams single season Panther rushing record.       
    • The BY9 situation is classic sunk cost fallacy. We traded premium assets to get him. Every few games he flashes the traits that made him appealing (quick reads, touch, composure) but the macro picture doesnt lie. Hes producing at a bottom-tier level across efficiency metrics in yards per attempt, EPA/play, completion percentage over expected, and explosive plays. Instead of objectively reassessing, the organization continues to justify the investment - new coaches, new systems, new excuses - trying to salvage what was invested. Giving him a 5th year is a self inflicted would.  We need to take our lumps and move on
