FanSided – No. 11 (+3)

Jumping up three positions from one week ago at FanSided, Carolina tied their biggest promotion after opening week. Granted the offense needs some work but there are a significant amount of new faces on that particular side of the football.

"It wasn’t pretty on the offensive side, but Cam Newton did enough and the defense was fantastic."

Operating under a new coordinator, the Panthers are also working with three new wide receivers, a new tight end and running back. Not to mention the plethora of injuries suffered along the offensive line causing a new shift seemingly every week.
