Week 17 vs. Saints: How far to go?
Once again, the Panthers finish out the regular season against the Saints. By this time we expect them to be out of the playoff race and looking to build towards 2021. Winning this matchup isn’t that important. However, what matters is how much Matt Rhule has improved this team over the course of the season. This game offers another measuring stick to see just how much work the Panthers have to do before they’ll be considered contenders again. If Rhule can make significant progress in pass protection and defense, the 2020 season should be considered a success no matter what the standings say.
