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

    • It is interesting how the games changed over the past 10-15 years. I mainly started watching football in like 2010 or so. I feel like every week there were QBs throwing for 400+, 300 yards was a pedestrian day it felt like. Now even the best qbs dont throw for 300 super often it feels.
    • I dont necessarily disagree just really curious as to why that is?  He either must be a dunce, a bad teammate or must be horrendous in practice because I thought he showed promise at least in his 2nd year
