I get it.  Ended the season playing some of his best and we drafted a weapon in the top 10 for him.  Same OL, Same RB, Same system, with JT, XL, and Coker each having a year's experience.  It's all lined up for him to take the next step and hopefully he will.

I'd say or believe the RB room has or will improve. Rico > inches. Then 3rd RB is 4th rounder Trevor Etienne, who we don't know what he bring, should be more than last year and I heard he's got good hands. 

All the TEs are young, even back issue Tremble is 24. Evans is a worker and Sanders has been getting props on his body. Sighlt edge points up here too, imo.

OL everyone but Motown should be better too, they are mostly OL "young" and that was the first season with the OL coaches. Did you know they have a personal coach for C, IOL, and OTs?? They got three OL coaches on this staff, I don't believe any other team has this method. 

You know about the talent added to WR room. 

It does come down to BY.

If I say BY wins the MVP award, how would that look team-wise??

The OL coaches have been really good and we have a core of young talent behind the starters.  I think, if Motown hits the wall and the knee says, "I'm done,"  I see Brady Christensen as a solid backup.  I am so thankful they pulled him away from the IOL duties.  He needs to be a T.  He has to know that his future as a starter might be through Moton, this year or next.  BC turns 29 in September, so he has about a 3-year window as a starter.  But I feel a LOT better about BC behind Moton because he is a quality backup OT.

I really can't believe the hype this dude has gotten this offseason because of a handful of slightly above average games to close out last season. Granted slightly above average is lightyears ahead of where he was pre-benching, but still. Not buying into the hype until I actually see something on the field that resembles a top tier franchise QB. Haven't seen that yet.

Ill admit that Im a hopeless optimist every year about this time - it makes preseason so much more fun.

 

That said I really think BY9 shows us that x factor that we all expect a #1 to have.  It took longer than anyone hoped for him to find his stride but Im hanging my hat on that right now.

I think it is more than what he showed last year.  We have built intelligently around him and given him every chance to succeed.

The o-line is no longer a complaint here.  Actually in the strength column.  Chuba is a competent running back.  If you look at Dowdle's average per carry last year, they are on paper a dangerous duo.  We also added a promising rookie  from a football family to the mix.

Legette had a rough first year, but a lot was asked of him.  We added arguably the best receiver in the draft to the room.  Renfrow is here and looks to be back to his old self after the health concerns.  Thielen said for the first time, he honestly doesn't know who is going to make the roster.  Coker out played XL last year.

Where is the glaring weakness now on offense?

Yes I agree, the future RT could easily be christ. When he shocking re-signed here for the cheap, he said part of the reason was the OL coaching staff. 

I've already thought too much about 2026. The RT has all the options, including resigning Motown. I was never a big fan, but he's solid and peptides and stem cells can fix a gippy knee. If he makes it though this year and wants to return, why not for 2 years 16 million?? Or like you said give the job to Christ or draft your RT...... that I feel is the best current method. With both OGs in the 20 million per cap range and Icky......ooooooooooo boy he could be the first 30 million per OLmen in NFL history. That's a huge portion of cap space for the OL, which I agree with, but in order to offset those 20 and 30 million deals... you need cheap rookie contracts. (unless Motown would take a huge pay cut and whoever the C will be). 

This is the deepest OL I can recall in Panthers history. 

I believe Morgan should try and trade either Kingston or Zavala. 

I didn't even talk about Yosh, Tarquin, or Walton. Yosh is same age as christ and why not him as RT after good swing tackle years? Tarquin is a UDFA on the prayer program, 150,000 in guarantees and why not him in 2026? Walton seems to be a OL coach favorite, he followed the Tampa Bay staff here after 2 years there and add in one year here, he's stuck around for some reason. I think they need to spend very light on RT and Panthers have lots of options, I love it.

This is nothing against Bryce (or the trade) but I think the riser of 2025 is going to be Caleb Williams.

A full offseason to get better, a new staff who has shown elite offensive game planning, added more weapons and significantly upgraded the OL, and really not as bad of a rookie season as many made it out to seem.

He has breakout written all over him this year.
