Former New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold will have better support in a few areas with the Carolina Panthers than he had when wearing green. Offensive coordinator Joe Brady, running back Christian McCaffrey, and the wide receiver duo of D.J. Moore and Robby Anderson are all upgrades over their New York counterparts during Darnold’s tenure.
However, the 2021 Panthers are no better than the 2018-20 Jets at arguably the most important quarterback-supporting position: the offensive line.
On July 1, I put together a ranking of all 32 offensive lines in the NFL based on the cumulative Pro Football Focus grades of each team’s five projected starters.
