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.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By CRA · Posted

      A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.

      Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.
