Panthers in the power rankings before Week 10 at Arizona

ANALYSIS: “Each week, an unpleasant reality is becoming harder to ignore in Carolina.

Sam Darnold is not the long-term answer for the Panthers.

On a day when the Panthers got back running back Christian McCaffrey, the Carolina offense spent most of their loss to the New England Patriots with the offense stuck in neutral. Darnold was mostly terrible: 16 completions in 33 attempts for 172 yards and three interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown.”
