Key Contributors Toward Panthers Playoff Chances

The Panthers playoff chances originally depended on Bryce Young, but the rise of new (but old-ish) QB1 Andy Dalton has people wondering if he can lead the franchise to a dream season. Expectations remain low, but a dominant road win over Las Vegas proves this team is competitive with exciting pieces.

New head coach Dave Canales and GM Dan Morgan are tasked with deciding between developing Young and building a roster around him or staying more competitive with a veteran signal-caller who led the team to nearly 40 points in his debut.

Rookie RB Jonathan Brooks and veteran WR Adam Thielen remain out for the immediate future but after monster performances from RB Chuba Hubbard & WR Diontae Johnson, the offense should be OK.

The questions about the defense remain, including struggles from the secondary that other quarterbacks might exploit. Perhaps more concerning than all is the team's run defense, one of the worst in the league.

For now, they remain competitive. Still, at 1-2, we'll see how long it lasts.

Panthers Playoff Picture Outlook & Predictions for 2024

The Carolina Panthers are still in the early phases of their roster rebuild and will have to start over again with a new head coach and GM in 2024.

To truly contend, this team will need to continue to build on defense and invest much further at wide receiver. Their lack of a first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, their front office hiring search, and controversy surrounding team owner David Tepper will make the next phase of their rebuild challenging.
