Carolina Panther fans can expect a very different ball control offense in 2018. The Panthers will be minus Jonathan Stewart’s contribution (198 carries 680 yards, six touchdowns) and any significant cut in Newton’s 139 carries for 754 yards will mean needing every bit of new RB C.J. Anderson’s 1,007 rushing yards to finish 4th in team rushing again.
The good news statistically for Panther fans is, the difference in team stats for rushing yardage between 2015 Super Bowl season and 2017 aren’t that dramatic. In 2015 they ran the ball 526 times for 2,282 yards.
