ESPN ranks NFL offenses

We're unrankable right now. Without seeing how Cam's shoulder looks, we just don't know. 22nd might be about right if we're fielding a bum shouldered Cam or a 3rd round rookie at QB. Sure, we have some intriguing weapons, but at the end of the day this is a QB driven league now.

If Cam comes back 100% like we all hope he will, this could be a top 5 offense.  Hell, it could be the number 1 offense if everybody shows out.  I know one thing, we are going to be explosive.  There will be a lot of long TD runs and catches this season.

Bill Barnwell has never been much of a Panthers fan, but 22nd sounds about right. If everything goes positive, we'll be as good (if not better) than '15 Panther's offense. If Cam's shoulder breaks again, Olsen goes down on Week 1, DJ has a sophomore slump, CMC gets injured, we're toast.

Wow that's a lot of ifs

This list is laughable. Seems like someone said "Hey Barnwell, we need some content. Throw some poo up, thanks"

 

The #1 team on his list, has two players with bad knees and 2 small receivers....

He has the Eagles at #4 with  2 of the players being peeps who yet to even step on the field. Then 2 others who can't stay on the field.

We have a QB coming off shoulder surgery that could not throw the ball ten yards last year and our offensive weapons have very short track records or, in Olsen’s case, has had major injuries in consecutive seasons.

The potential for a top five offense is certainly there as we have high ceiling talent all over, but CMC is the only one I would say also has a high floor.  If a division rival had those type of questions marks we would laugh at a top ten raking for them.

Meh, to much talk about fantasy and CMC not scoring td's early in the season.  He is productive regardless of whether he gets the td or he gets it close and then someone else gets in the end zone.  If Cam's arm comes back, and we don't have a spate of injuries, we should be ok.  If not, its going to be a long season.

I concur with the general consensus. While we have a very high ceiling on our offense, it would be tough to find an offense that has a wider gap to the floor. 

Cam coming back from injury, Olsen coming back from injury, considerable changes on the OL and a talented but relatively unproven WR corps. And keep in mind we are pretty thin at almost every position on offense. A couple of key injuries and it could go south pretty quickly, which is largely what killed us last season.

 

 

 

Buuuuuuuut.......it's an odd numbered year. Superb Owl incoming.

He wasn't ranking best offense. It's a ranking of best offensive "weapons" (wr, rb, te). So all the talk about Cam's shoulder is irrelevant. I think his analysis is reasonable but I'm counting on Moore and Samuel to make big leaps and easily surpass that ranking.

Ayup. Right on the money.

And the Bucs are getting a big boost in the ratings because of the perceived Arians effect. I'm not buying into it right now. That's Jameis Winston, not Kurt Warner. Heck, he isn't even Carson Palmer (who was always overrated).

The Patriots in the top 10 makes no sense. Who do they have other than a couple decent rbs? They have a nearly 40 year old Ben Watson replacing Gronkowski and an even less remarkable recieving corps than they had last year, which is saying something. I would rank then under the Panthers. Seems at every skilled position the Panthers have more talent.

    • Would be happy with Lomu or Iheanachor at 19. Fano is intriguing but I don't think he makes it.
    • II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth.  We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts.  I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year.  That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign.   We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL?  That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs.  They need to start getting younger on the OL as well.   I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it.  RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel.   Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency.  DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player.  Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025.  Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2.  The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB.  We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year.  I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade.  Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned.   Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB  (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.      
    • Bryce had some bad games, but he had some good ones as well (and this is coming from a Bryce skeptic). I think it's a little simplistic to put all the offensive woes on Bryce, you also should be looking at O-line play, receiver play, RB and TE play, and also coaching. There's no way when I look at the offense in it's totality am I ready to say that a so-so to bad offense was all on Bryce, and, I also can't say that we don't need to upgrade any position on offense, save Tetairoa McMillan (who also wasn't perfect) and maybe the starting guards and T-mo.
