The Panthers’ offense was heavily dependent on the rushing and receiving threat of No. 1 running back Christian McCaffrey for the majority of the 2018 season. Carolina brought C.J. Anderson into the fold via free agency to pair with McCaffrey in an attempt to recreate the smash and dash style of DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, but after nine games of barely using the veteran’s services the Panthers released him and continued to use McCaffrey as the lone back in their ground game. There were a few other guys in the mix throughout the season, but for the most part the Panthers’ rushing attack was all Run CMC.
The Panthers’ ground attack in 2018 was the Christian McCaffrey Show, and it was pretty effective.
