Panthers OL is solid.
PFF grades the individual OL they don't use yardage totals to grade the OL; therefore Cam's rushing doesn't prop up their OL ranking like it QB rushing yards prop up team rushing totals.
I don't think they'll make the playoffs and there playoff contention hinges on their defense and special teams which were lousy last year.
I think Cam progresses.
His rushing might drop a tad but still be signficant and I think his passing stats will improve.
