Thanks for checking out my free week 4 NFL game predictions for the 2017 season. These week 4 NFL game picks are suitable for your office football pool.

Should Carolina Panthers fans be worried about the offense?

Should fans be worried about the Carolina Panthers offense? Yes its only week two of a long season and yes the Panthers are 2-0 but the offense looks bad. The Panthers currently rank 16th in points, 24th in passing yards and 17th in running yards.

The Panthers have offensive line problems, notably at the tackle positions. The center and guards are great when they are all healthy. Cam Newton is coming off shoulder surgery late in the off season that saw him only throw two preseason passes.

Cam Newton has 2 touchdown passes and 1 interception and is completing 59.6 percent of his passes in two games. Tight end Greg Olsen breaking his foot is a hard blow to absorb for this Panthers offense that has already struggled.

The new short pass offense is not working too well even though Christian McCaffrey is leading the team in catches with 9 in two game. McCaffrey is not looking like a high first round draft pick at least so far. McCaffrey has 21 carries for 57 yards and a 2.7 yards per attempt average. Jonathan Stewart is only averaging 3.2 yards per carry himself.

Panthers fans love to hate Mike Shula but he looked smart enough during Cam Newton's MVP season. I think losing Olsen was huge but that the Panthers offense will get better as Cam Newton gets more and more reps in the new system. Still this team will go as far as the defense carries this this year.

Joe Webb released by Carolina Panthers

Panthers fans were shocked when favorite utility player Joe Webb was released by the team. The Carolina Panthers released Joe Webb even though Cam Newton was limited in the off and preseason due to shoulder surgery. The Panthers did sign rookie quarterback Brad Kaaya formerly of the Detroit Lions.

I do not think Joe Webb is a very good quarterback. However I think Derek Anderson is a terrible quarterback and not much better than Webb if at all. The fact that Webb played special teams and can play wide receiver in a pinch

Joe Webb was very popular with Panthers fans and players alike. I can only guess that Webb was released in a cost cutting move. Granted the Panthers would not win many games with Joe Webb at quarterback but they won't with Derek Anderson either.
