It makes sense. We have very good weapons. The big question marks are at QB and OL. Which to be fair are really big question marks. LOL!

 

 

You just had to do it didn't you? lol I mean, I get it. But man, couldn't we have one thread where we don't go there right away?

7. Carolina Panthers

2020 rank: 5  2019 rank: 22

The Panthers rued the absence of their biggest star last season, as running back Christian McCaffrey reminded us to be cautious about using even a spotless health record to predict future availability. After playing nearly every snap in 2019, CMC missed 13 games with ankle, shoulder and quad injuries. Like Michael Thomas, it's always good to wait and see a player recover from a high ankle sprain before counting on them to return to their prior level of play. It should be telling that McCaffrey missed virtually an entire season and is still the consensus first overall pick in fantasy drafts. There's nobody in the league like a healthy McCaffrey.

If McCaffrey comes back strong, few teams can boast a big three quite as impressive as that of McCaffrey and wideouts Robby Anderson and DJ Moore. Anderson reunites with an old teammate in Sam Darnold, and while Moore's 2020 season might not have been as productive as hoped, consider that he averaged more than 10 yards per target and didn't fumble after six of them across the prior two seasons. Positive touchdown regression toward the mean will come for Moore, who has only 10 scores on 208 catches over his first three seasons.

@SBBlue, and @ladypantherAsk and ye shall receive. 

 

Although, that has us at 5, not 7. So...Um, nice?

 

Edit to add. Oopsy. That is 2020, not for this year. Or is it?

    • They were giving those PFF analytics a priority...
    • I think they have totally tied themselves to BY9. Good luck with that.  If Dan can get that defense really stout he may be able to survive an offensive overhaul. 
    • I think a couple of these will turn out better than a quick first impression might indicate.  Specifically the GB guy. I mean, that team and organization is depleted of talent and kind of headed towards the bottom. But I think the dud has some skills.  Head coach in college, with NFL cred too. Tough situation he is taking on.    And I hate to say, Atlanta.  Stefanski might be unleashed lol. Still has a QB deficit though. He’ll get a ton of owner support I think. Blank badly wants Matt Ryan to succeed.    I was cold on Tennessee but they are requiring Saleh to hire an experienced OC and they have some pieces on defense. It might be a little better than I expected at first. Won’t be great anytime soon though.     Harbaugh is proven and a lot of the NFC East is pretty shaky.    I think Baltimore could have fuged up. They apparently are allowing their QB to rule the roost and that ia really a suspect strategy.  OTOH that QB is very potent on the field and could make a mediocre coach look decent.     I am close to there on Buffalo, as far as did they fug up. I am not real optimistic for them, but could be totally wrong.    Pittsburg is the most interesting because of their incredible hiring success. One of these times it ain’t gonna work out so smooth for them. I mean they are kind of due. Will it be this time?     Arizona? Graveyard.  Las Vegas? Probably the same thing. But they might resurrect NE mojo in the desert. I guess it could happen.
