Can Carolina make the massive jump from the league's worst to a playoff team in 2024?

No one, and I mean absolutely no one believes the Carolina Panthers will make the playoffs in 2024. Oh wait, hold on a sec. Yup, as a matter of fact, there is. During a recent guest appearance on The Herd, NFL analyst Adam Chernoff explains why he is bullish on Carolina taking a massive step forward and being on the doorstep of the playoffs"I think they're a fringe NFC Wild Card team.

Yes, the top-end talent on the offensive side of the football is head and shoulders better than what they threw on the field a year ago. The o-line is much improved, you have more playmaking ability on the perimeter, and more depth in the backfield. However, the depth is a major concern on the o-line and in some ways, at receiver.

Expectations are high for Xavier Legette and they should be, but he is a rookie after all. I view it as Diontae Johnson and Adam Thielen are the only proven commodities in that room while everything else is a major question mark. Does Legette live up to the hype? Will Jonathan Mingo bounce back after a rough rookie year? Does Terrace Marshall Jr. finally figure it out? There are more questions than answers.

Defensively, cornerback is a sore spot outside of Jaycee Horn and the second set of guys on the d-line are nothing to be excited about. As GM Dan Morgan has expressed many times, you can't fix everything in one offseason. It takes time. I do believe Carolina will be more competitive in 2024, but labeling them a "fringe wild card team" is a bit too strong.
