Panthers ranked as NFL's 2nd-worst roster

Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport

 

Carolina is better at the skill positions this season. But despite giving guards Damien Lewis and Robert Hunt big contracts, the offensive line still ranks in the bottom 10.

And the problems get that much bigger on defense after Carolina lost multiple key players from last year’s fourth-ranked defense in terms of yards allowed.

Edge-rusher Brian Burns, who led the team in sacks last year, was traded to New York. Linebacker Frankie Luvu, who led the team in tackles, left in free agency.

Replacements were procured in DJ Wonnum and Josey Jewell, but both are downgrades. A defense that was somehow top-five in yards allowed and bottom-five in points allowed didn’t improve.

Neither did the team as a whole, at least not demonstrably.

A) it’s bleacherreport 

B) jewell and wonnum are burns and luvus replacements? Not clowney and jewell or whoever? This guy doesn’t seem to have all the information

C) OL rankings? Gtfo, can’t rank something like that before the season even starts. OL is tough enough to judge after the fact, much less before.

I'm biased obviously but I think I would take our roster over the Commanders and Giants.

We still suck though.

I disagree with that.

I can only think of one team Id take over the Panthers; patriots 

At least on commanders, giants, and even the Panthers you can name a couple stars. 

Name one patriot star or building block without gogglefuing, just not one.

I get a lot of that but there is work that can be done and then judge it. Where did people rate it last year? Just sayin’, most did not say 2-15.

I was worried about a couple of areas on the defense last year and then they got killed with injuries. I expected a lot worse. Which gives me some confidence in Evero (and Dom) being able to keep them together.

edit: I mean keeping the performance floor up as a group, despite handicaps in whatever position groups.

We're not even rebuilding , just existing at rock bottom 

The only way it could be worse if we went 0-17 without scoring a single point all season 

They were 2 last second FGs and a couple 4th down conversions away from being 0-17.

In other words they should have been 0-17 and those last two games they didn't score.....

This team is BAD, need more than one miracle to fix.

      Tepper Era Strikes Again!

      So what about their sign is not compliant or causing the issue according to the rules? Them always having it, or the amount of time they have had it, or their loyalty to the team is not relevant to this situation. To be clear, I know next to nothing about this situation, just trying to clarify.  I have no dog in this fight and am emotionless on this topic. If you are breaking a rule, you do not get special treatment just because you have been here breaking it a long time.

      The team fell for that late season averageness he displayed last year and got burned. You want to do that again? I don’t.  But I sort of do agree that we are stuck with him as the starter.  I can’t decide whether replacing him gets us into the playoffs so suffering through one last season is the price for freedom in 2026.  Three ways to be free in 2026: He actually plays like a real NFL QB,  The team sends him packing. Be completely out on tne Panthers until changes are made.

      Short version = these people have had those seats since the beginning and haven't missed a game. They have always had their sign. They had to change the sign - I think in 2015 when Cam ripped that Packers fan's banner down (love him for that, by the way) - to be compliant and haven't had any issues in the last 10 years. The Panthers even used a photo of them and their sign in their album from the Falcons game. In the 3rd quarter last weekend it was decided that the sign needed to come down. Seems weird and unnecessary, especially since it has been there for every game for a decade.   EDIT: they've had it since 2003. Still a long-ass time.... Also "cringe" is a funny word for someone over the age of 18 who lives and overshares on the Huddle. But, ok....
