The Carolina Panthers are looking to hit the ground running in Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Fans are expecting bigger things from head coach Dave Canales' squad in Year 2 of his tenure, but it could still legitimately go either way.
Nothing but supreme execution and lasting contributions from everybody will do. The Panthers' roster looks a lot better on paper. However, there are a few problem areas that could potentially hold them back when push comes to shove.
One of those is the safety position opposite free-agent signing Tre'von Moehrig. Most fans want to see young guys like Demani Richardson and fourth-round rookie Lathan Ransom get a shot.
