The Panthers acquired Baker Mayfield from Cleveland in the off-season and he has somehow seemed like a downgrade from Darnold given that last year they started the year 4-1 before McCaffrey went down.
The Saints have their own struggles with consistent quarterback play as Jameis is one of the number of Jekyll and Hyde signal callers. Any play could be a massive highlight reel chunk or a gastly interception that leaves you thinking what in the hell was that.
I love me some Jameis I really do but an upgrade at QB for this Saints team would propel them to Super Bowl contenders. Perhaps Jimmy G is available next season?
Time will tell, but a matchup between these two is on the docket this week so let’s dig in.
New Orleans Saints
The Saints rushing attack has not looked great thus far and their numbers speak to it but I do not think the math is indicative of a weak running game. Kamara was of course held out last week against Tampa which has a formidable rushing defence, likely the best in the league.
Their rushes per game are an average of 19.5 is 28th in the league but their yards per rushing attempts is an impressive 6.5 (good for second in the league) and rush yards per game is 126.9 (9th in the league).
Kamara has returned to practice this week and is hopeful to play so I expect this Saints rushing attack to break open at some point, and what better opponent to do it against than the lowly Panthers.
Carolina Panthers
I think we have covered the hatred of Mayfield enough and so I will freshen up the Panthers evaluation a bit. The thing about this team though is that Christian McCaffrey is really the only bright spot of this squad now that Gilmore has left.
I like DJ Moore and Robby Anderson but so far their QB hasn’t helped them much and I do not see this team winning a matchup against a really tough Saints defence.
