Its a little wonky to do power rankings this early in the season but I guess this is good? Our ranking improved from pre season on both sites but they are still worried about Cam's accuracy and the fact that it was just the 49ers who are clearly in a fresh rebuild. I can't really blame them that much.

After watching the first weeks games, where would you rank the Panthers in your own power rankings?

Couldn't care less, but we are the most talented team in football as I've explained before (only team in 10 years to win 17 games, Divisional Round 3 of 4 years, former MVP and DPOY in their 20's, 13 former Pro Bowlers, 12 former 1st Rd picks, 5 former top 10 picks, 8 former top 15 picks, etc., etc. etc.).

For those who say the SF game was not a good win, this is the NFL, not college football with Alabama playing Southwest Alaska State.  Any win is a good win, especially when you keep the opponent out of the end zone.  Doesn't mean we will win next week, but then neither would beating them 42-0.   

 

I have no problem with  either power ranking, although I think being 18th might motivate the team a little more.

    • I think they are holding back to see what they have in the young guys, but I think it's a near certainty at some point they will bring someone else in. Right now (assuming we keep 5 CBs which is normal), the top 5 IMO are: 1) Jaycee Horn 2) Mike Jackson 3) Chau Smith-Wade 4) Shemar Bartholomew  5) Akayleb Evans   Obviously Jaycee is the alpha in that room and paid as such. Need him to stay healthy and continue to play at a Pro-Bowl level. Mike Jack did pretty well all things considered last year, and they gave him lower-level starter money. Fair deal for both sides.  Smith-Wade showed some promise as a slot CB. I think low-key he's a lock for the team. Different size and skill set than the other CBs. Shemar Bartholomew was the most sought after waiver claim last preseason. Was 5th CB most and inactive most of last year. Had a few defensive and ST snaps. Nothing of note good or bad but too small a sample size to make any judgment. Akayleb Evans was a 2022 4th Rounder for the Vikings. Has started 19 games (including Week 18 for the Panthers) in his career and played in 43. Was pretty good in 2023 before getting injured and falling down the depth chart last year. There's some other guys on the outside looking in, but until they show more in training camp I dont see anyway they make the 53. And only Jaycee, Mike Jack, and Smith-Wade are locks to make this roster IMO.  
    • Was just reading the Ask the Old Guy story on the team's website and was shocked to see that only two 2nd Rounders have signed so far, 30 of them haven't. That isn't normal, the Texans really screwed things up for the rest of the league, no other explanation that I can think of for 30 of the 32 picks to still be unsigned at this point.
    • They need to address CB before season starts. This is not going to cut it.
