Offense and the Carolina Panthers have the compatibility of water and oil.
In 2021, the Panthers compiled the third-fewest yards in the NFL, scoring the fourth-fewest points, and routinely had the lowest team total in NFL odds each week.
Undoubtedly, their struggles align with the limited effectiveness of former All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey, but they were also missing a requisite starting quarterback as Matt Rhule looks to get off the NFL hot seat.
To address those issues, the Panthers doubled down on their running back, hoping he would play more than seven games for the first time in two seasons. Further, they acquired another underwhelming quarterback, hoping Baker Mayfield could lead the team to the promised land after he failed to deliver for the Cleveland Browns.
