But he knows that the front office will figure it out “The Panthers are still a passion and still my favorite team. They’re going to figure it out. Rebuilding is always difficult.

Carolina traded running back Christian McCaffrey to the San Francisco 49ers. Losing such an asset and rebuilding is always a difficult process. And that is showing in the Panthers’ performances this season. The Panthers have won just three games this season out of the 11 they have played so far. And their problems at the QB position continue.

Their starting QB Baker Mayfield sustained an ankle injury in week five. QB2 Sam Darnold has also grappled with an ankle injury. In their absence, the Panthers have used Philip Walker under the center. Mayfield came back from injury and played two games, but that didn’t work out. Now the Panthers will use Darnold against the Denver Broncos in week 12.

The Panthers are last in the NFC South table with a woeful 3-8 record. With the team almost out of the playoff race, they can concentrate on the rebuild for the next season. Where will they finish at the end of the regular season this time around?
