Analysis
Gone are the days where Panthers fans could project a full season from star RB McCaffrey. He’s only played 10 games in the last two seasons, but it’s hard for the Panthers offense to move on with the current roster talent. Maybe QB Baker Mayfield can upgrade the quarterback position from QB Sam Darnold and take a little pressure off the predictable offensive gameplan. If the Panther defense can step up, there are enough pieces here to win some games.
