Starts at 8:15 regarding the Panthers 

 

Recap:

- Panthers were his lock of the week, almost switched to Baltimore (RIP)

- Says that he's been highly complimentary of Shula and that he has been doing, HAD been doing a great job designing an offense that best fit Cam.

-Cam limited athletically now. Not running him which was a big part of the MVP season

- Cam can't throw outside of the numbers or deep now (nor on the run). Only on breaking inside routes or between the numbers. (NOTE: I believe this meant more along the lines of play design rather than Cam's ability but could be wrong)

-Offense now isn't designed well enough to get points. 

-Saints D is historically bad but they still came into a road game on grass and ran over the Panthers. Carolina was embarassed.

-Force feeding CMC early makes sense to get him going since they haven't gotten him going yet.

-Someone has to go. Believes it will be Shula. Doesn't know when but someone will be the scapegoat for these first 3 weeks.

-Believes it'll take 8-10 weeks for the offense to be what they say it will but games need to be won now. (NOTE: I believe that beforehand when discussing Cam recovering from surgery that he was listing that as a reason for it taking longer)

-Good teams are supposed to win those games against opponents like the historically bad Saints D.

For some reason it won't let me skip to that point, pie for cliff notes on what he said about our O?

If you're on mobile, hold your finger down on the screen and it should bring up the progress bar.

I'll try to cliff notes it if that doesn't work for you

      That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen".

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
