Carolina Panthers: 4 X-factors on offense in 2020
By Dean Jones
Carolina Panthers: X-factor No. 2: Joe Brady (OC)
The appointment of Joe Brady as offensive coordinator has the scope to be one of the most pivotal in recent memory for the Carolina Panthers. He comes back into the NFL on the crest of a wave and has the scope to propel this group into the elite category.
Brady was the progressive mind that led the LSU offense to a historic season that eventually ended with a National Championship and quarterback Joe Burrow going No. 1 overall to the Cincinnati Bengals.
If the new arrival can have a similar impact with the Panthers, then things should start trending on an upward curve quickly. This is an offense that is loaded with offensive weapons. And they also possess the best dual-threat running back in the NFL in Christian McCaffrey.
Everything is in position for Carolina’s offense to put some significant points on the board under Brady in 2020. There are huge questions to answer regarding their offensive line. But if they can somehow come together in a short space of time then it is only going to enhance their chances of a successful season.
Another massive boost is the familiarity between Brady and quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. The pair worked together during their time with the New Orleans Saints. And this bears more significance given the short time this new-look roster will spend together before competitive action gets underway.
