4 pivotal traits the Carolina Panthers must adopt in 2022

What are some winning traits that the Carolina Panthers must implement into their team going into next season and beyond?

When watching this year’s postseason, one starts to notice how a lot of successful franchises carry the same traits. When any coach, player, or general manger is asked about what makes a team good or bad, they will always say it’s the culture. It is what is in grained in everyone’s heads and keeps the standards high.

Nearly every NFL team has game-changing talent, which coins the term “any given Sunday”. The main thing that separates them are the traits they possess.

A specific team’s culture can normally be attributed to the folks who are higher up a franchise’s pecking order. The coaches, owners, and management. The mantra is set at the top and it follows and flows to everyone else.

There are some good traits that the Carolina Panthers have inducted into the team already. But there are some crucial ones that they lack, which is clearly costing them in terms of results.

With this in mind, here are four pivotal traits that the Panthers must adopt in 2022 and beyond.

Trait No. 1

Carolina Panthers must become more efficient

It is no surprise that the saying goes, turnovers lose games. In that sense, saying the Carolina Panthers had turnover issues this year would be a severe understatement.

Carolina sit tied at 31st in terms of turning the ball over. The teams that are tied with them are the Chicago Bears and Jacksonville Jaguars, with the New York Giants at the top.

With 29 giveaways, those can and will kill a team off. Teams and coaches tell players all the time how the ball is the most important thing. You protect it at all cost and it’s the key to victory.

This is on head coach Matt Rhule, new offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo, and all the other offensive assistants to change that at the earliest possible opportunity.
