This is an article done by pro football reference. It shows the avg age of the teams in the NFL last year. It also breaks down the offense and deffense. We were very young last year compared to most of the NFL what are the Panthers going to look like this year.http://fifthdown.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/05/06/how-to-measure-team-age-in-the-n-f-l-and-what-it-means-for-2010/

I suspect we will be one of the younger on offense and the youngest on defense across the board. What will that mean for 2010, mistakes and typical issues that occur with young teams. Hopefully we have good chemistry and stick together when the going gets tough. Even youth can be compensated for if the team shares a common goal and they all pull together. Otherwise there is infighting and locker room issues. We haven't been known for that so hopefully we avoid the drama and stay together. I do think that Fox has a pretty good coaching staff who can get the most out of the young players.

According to our roster on NFL.com our average year of birth is 1984-85, which suggests our average age is somewhere between 25-26. Which judging by that link, will definitely put us at the youngest end of the scale, but not by much. One thing to consider is that we will lose a LOT of the UDRFA, so our average might shift slightly closer to 26 after we start trimming the untalented players from our currently 84 man roster.

I bet with our young age we are one of the highest penalized teams in football next year. That will be our Achilles heel. We will have a lot of energetic young talent, but sustained drives do to defensive penalties will kill us on more than one occassion. Mark my words. Still, should be very fun to watch all these guys develop into great players. I'm most interested in watching Norwood myself.

      That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen".

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
