WalterFootball dropped the Panthers from 14th to 24th because...

 

25. Carolina Panthers Carolina Panthers (5-12) - Previously: 14.
Baker Mayfield makes the Panthers a playoff contender, but I've been disappointed with Carolina's offensive line this preseason. The team struggled to block Buffalo backups in the final contest, so that could make things difficult for Mayfield when the real action begins.

 

Am I crazy for not being THAT concerned about the oline? The pieces are there...they just need to play together a bit.

We have more of run blocking o-line. We have the power run blocking, but we lack the finesse to handle speedy pass rushes imo. CMC and play action pass can help, and if we can run screens properly that's even better. The hope is that we run it well enough to avoid 3rd and long situations, but we're not going to be a high octane offense imo.

meanwhile.... NFL insider predicts big jump in wins for Panthers
https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/2022/09/03/panthers-christian-mccaffrey-jaycee-horn-baker-mayfield/

During a recent segment on Good Morning Football, Fox Sports senior national writer and NFL Network personality Peter Schrager picked the Panthers as his team to make a Bengals-like jump during the upcoming campaign. He started off his reasoning by shouting out two studs Carolina was largely without last year.

You should definitely be worried about our OL. They didn't perform very well in the preseason as a unit(some very good individual performances) and they are desperately thin. 

That is a big concern.

They never even technically settled the Center battle, and the depth stuff is weird. If a tackle goes down, do you really throw Cam Erving out there? Or do you Move BC out there to his natural position, then throw Jordan/Mays in at OG and then have the whole line out of sync? The price of position battles and versatile backups

      I am too. Frank became completely disinterested in the HC job after the draft.

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      down 24 and we get our first possession in the 3rd and what happens?  run TE checkdown TE checkdown run run run RB checkdown TE checkdown run TE checkdown incomplete TE checkdown run now on the 4 yard line- Renfrow TD and POOF!  3rd quarter is over.  That's not a team even trying to get back into the game in reality.  That's just the Panthers taking freebies to make it look respectable in the end and guess what? Bryce gets to pad on 6/7 to his stat line in exchange for making the 3rd quarter disappear.  Not sure the hyper focus on the depth of the corners.  Cardinals were going to simply drop and allow the easy stuff underneath.  Which they did.  Did they play a random short yardage play a little different? Sure.  That doesn't' mean they weren't just letting the Panthers overall eat clock to bring the game to an end.  The Cards strategy was fine on D.  You just don't generally see teams implement it as early as they did but they were up pretty big.  It's the other units for the Cards that fugged the plan up.  again, it's 3 drives,  the ONE in the 3rd quarter and only drive of the entire quarter and the 2 to open the 4th.  Cardinals gave Bryce stuff in exchange for clock  (and the result was slow long drives eating the clock).  The rest of the game? They didn't.  The rest of the game outside of those 3 drives the Cards weren't in garbage allowance mode and Bryce stunk

      But a serious question is, does he not see a guy come open because he misses seeing them on the field, which happens to every QB, or, is his vision blocked by the wide bodies in front of him instead of the helmets other QBs experience? For instance missing a wide open Chuba. Did he not see him or could he literally not see him? I tend to think the latter is a far bigger problem than we're being led to believe it is.
