(corrected re-post as I failed to include
Panthers rushing TDs, rush yards per
attempt, & passing TDs in the previous
post)

Panthers Offense Top or
Near the Top of the League:

o Tied for 2nd in rushing TDs ( 5 - 1.67 per game )
o Tied for 3rd in fewest giveaways ( 2 ) & tied for
10th in Net Turnovers ( +1 )
o 8th in pass yards ( 854 - 284.7 per game)
o Tied for 10th in fewest sacks allowed ( 6 - 2 per game )

~~~

Panthers Offense Middle
of the League:

o 15th in completion% ( 68.2% )
o Tied for 16th in rush yards ( 317 - 105.7 per game )
o Tied for 16th in points scored (69 - 23 per game)
o 16th in passer-rating ( 99.0 )

~~~

Panthers Offense Weaknesses /
Bottom or Near-Bottom of the League:

o 6th-worst in rush yards per attempt ( 93 attempts - 3.41 per attempt )
o Tied for 7th-fewest passing TDs ( 3 - 1 per game )

~~~

Caveat: Has played 2 strong defenses (Jets & Saints), &
1 average defense (Texans).

~~~

Standout starting RB out (Christian McCaffrey).

Despite the relative lack of injuries on offense & their
impressive stats seen above, the following article says
"WHAT NEEDS HELP - Carolina’s offensive line.

It allowed 5 QB hits & 3 sacks on Darnold because of pro-
tection issues, has been rotating players at the 2 guard
spots & left tackle is far from a secure position with
Cameron Erving making far too many mistakes.

The Panthers have the option of moving Taylor Moton to
left tackle, but coach Matt Rhule seems against making
that move. This is a group that is going to continue to
struggle when the Panthers play better defenses like
Tampa Bay.
