Highest Panthers power ranking I've seen this season


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

The Athletic has their power rankings out. I scrolled to the bottom to read the Panthers, but I had to scroll back up quite a bit. I have to say I agree with this. I think the Panthers are far from the dumpster fire that other teams are currently. They have the Jets and the Dolphins as the worst in the league, which also sounds right to me.

22. Carolina Panthers

What we learned: They shouldn’t have overthought it with the game on the line. With 1:23 left, the Panthers were down 34-30 and faced a fourth-and-inches from the Raiders’ 46. Instead of giving the ball to Christian McCaffrey, new offensive coordinator Joe Brady called a fullback dive to Alex Armah. He got stuffed for no gain, and Matt Rhule lost his NFL debut. Despite the questionable call, the Panthers’ overall performance was encouraging. They scored on their first four possessions and ranked sixth league-wide in offensive EPA per snap. The defensive talent is lacking, but they could be a fun, frisky team.

The thing about week 1 is it really depends on how good the team you played against is. If you’re honest with yourself, I don’t think you would describe the Raiders as a good team. 
 

Which means we lost to a bad west coast team at home week 1.

I don't think they are a good or bad team. I think they are mediocre, probably around the 20th best team in the league. They are no where near how bad the Jets and Dolphins are.

Agree on the Jets. I do think the Dolphins are a QB away from being a good team(who might be on the roster). They came on strong last year and added the pieces on defense this year.

    • I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.
    • overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.     
    • Im really curious to see how the defense is going to look once its playing with some leads.
