1. Carolina Panthers
The Panthers this season have surprised a lot of folks throughout the league, and they’re currently 5-5 while being in second place in the NFC South. Carolina might come up short of bidding a ticket to a wild-card, but the future is bright for the offense, especially for running back Rico Dowdle, who has been carrying the weight of the run game. However, it doesn’t take away credit for quarterback, Bryce Young, who’s been showing some life, but one can only imagine what Winston can do in this Panthers offense.
This isn’t to say that Young can’t continue to improve, but the young quarterback did still show some inconsistencies in the latest loss to the Saints. The Panthers are secretly forming a special offense, which is something they can’t let go to waste when you have rookie Tetairoa McMillan. Veteran backup Andy Dalton is only a bridge, but the Panthers should trade for Winston in the offseason to bring some real competition for Young.
