31. Carolina Panthers

2024 rank: 28 | 2023 rank: 31

Well, the Panthers certainly keep trying to add receivers. This year, it's No. 8 pick Tetairoa McMillan, who they hope fills the same role Mike Evans did for coach Dave Canales when he was coordinating the 2023 Bucs' offense. A thriving McMillan will allow all of Carolina's wideouts to drop one spot in the rotation, which would suit many of them. Looking back at the Panthers' 2024 class, I find myself more intrigued by undrafted free agent Jalen Coker than second-round pick Xavier Legette, as he averaged a respectable 1.9 yards per route run to Legette's 1.3. Outside of veteran Adam Thielen, who continues to produce at age 34, there's a lot of projection here.

With Jonathon Brooks out for the season, the backfield will run through Chuba Hubbard, which is well-deserved. Hubbard is patient and powerful; his burst between two unblocked Cardinals defenders to score a game-winning in touchdown in overtime on his final snap of the 2024 season might have been Carolina's offensive highlight of the season. The front office did well to bring in veteran Rico Dowdle, who was a league-average starting back for the Cowboys when given the opportunity, as Hubbard's backup.

its no way we can be 31, the running back group alone is worth top 20. this is the type of reporting that makes me lose respect for guys because it clear they are just looking at names on a sheet

i dont know about top 20, but i get it the 31. Some were higher on us last year and were burnt because of it. We need to prove we are a good team, instead each year we prove we deserve to be 30-32. You want higher ratings, primetime games, or respect in general... prove it. Until then, we will continue getting this treatment.

2 1000 yard rushers is clear move forward, i get the WR group is unknown but there needs to be acknowledgement that this is an improved unit. Im looking forward to showing them

That doesn't mean we are guaranteed 2k rushing yards from them two. I mean I agree we are a better team than last year, but just about every team thinks the same thing during the off-season. I hope we prove we are much better but recent history shows we are closer to 32 than 20.

Got to love these reporters and believe everything they say... 

That kind of buttresses the argument that he was simply dealing in generalities, at best really, and doesn't understand the nuances of the Panthers.

I mean, honestly, how difficult is it to get the round correct these days? It's indicative of sloppy and lazy journalism.

The homer in me has us closer to 25, but even then, a lot to prove. 

If our Skill positions are 31, OL lets just say 10, and QB is 25...it's going to be a long year and changes are coming (again).  If that skill position group isn't ranking around 20 next year at minimum, it probably means we're finding a new QB and coach.

      You honestly think Tampa would have traded down with a division rival so their rival could land a “generational player” at a massive position of need for TB?   bruh

      The Carolina Huddle

      Ya'll better quit throwing shots at Zod. He'll come in here and ban everybody. I had a friend @prosource who was banned in 2015 because he said some very minor things about Zod being an ass to the posters on the main forum after starting the All-Pro one. He said he felt like another level is cool, but don't punch down on people that don't want All-Pro. (He did say that it wasn't going to last long anyways.🤔) I distinctly remember him calling and being like "dude, I got banned, my profile says I don't have access to the Huddle!") I feel like once Tepper came in and cut off all unofficial access to the team, Zod was going to be around less. The All-Pro board had really good photos, even in game stuff, and I remember seeing him behind a little fenced in area at Wofford for non team sanctioned press/photographers after Tepper bought the team. I knew then his ego wouldn't allow him to continue with past fervency and effort with that reduction in access. Dude was literally in the locker room when JR was owner.  I came over in 2011 immediately after finding out this place existed. I was super involved with the Charlotte forum, and fell off after its demise. I will never forget arguing Pep over Ryan Sims on that forum! Who is Ryan Sims some of you may ask? My answer is exactly!

      And not see him running free. Because has been free a lot more than he gets credit for.    Now what XL does with that when he does see the ball, is on him.
