Robby Anderson heads Panthers’ list of returning players who need to be better

New York Times  

With 22 free agents and the need to improve at quarterback and offensive line, change is coming for the Panthers. But you can’t turn over the entire roster, though the Panthers tried two years ago with an exodus of veterans and influx of young players in Rhule’s first season. Sometimes, you have bad games and sometimes, you have good ones.” Rhule said the Panthers’ analytics division has studied the workloads of a lot of NFL running backs, going back as far as Emmitt Smith, the all-time leader in rushing yards and attempts. The Panthers will get Horn back next season, but they’ll likely lose one of their two free-agent corners, and A.J. And maybe Brady, the former offensive coordinator, was trying to tell everyone something in Week 1 when, in discussing Elflein, he mentioned his “scrappiness” and “Ohio wrestler mindset.” There’s a feeling among some in the organization that Elflein’s best position is center, where he started 27 games his first two seasons in Minnesota.
