I noticed a decent number of Panthers fans wanted the team to draft a nickel corner this year, which surprised me a bit because I thought Chau Smith-Wade looked decent there. Am I missing something, or is it more of a depth/competition concern?

The Panthers have the 3rd hardest schedule for the upcoming seasons. What are y'alls thoughts on that? Any concerns/excitement?

Hey everyone, the time has come for the annual /r/NFL Offseason Review Series.

 

The goal of this series - similar to that of the 32 teams/32 days series that starts early in the offseason - is to provide a comprehensive guide covering what has happened and also give a look ahead to what's next for each team. The series is crowdsourced and has produced a lot of good information and discussion for each team, year after year. So, we're back and looking for writers to help usher this series into its tenth year.

 

Both series were originally started by u/skepticismissurvival. After running this series for the past few years, u/PlatypusOfDeath has passed it along to me to continue.

 

We need writers!

 

Each post will cover the following topics:

• Review coaching changes (if applicable)
• Review moves in free agency (key players lost, players signed, etc.)
• Review the team's draft, breaking down the players drafted and the role they will play
• Projecting the starting lineup (and optionally the 53-man roster) for next year and giving a prediction for each player's season
• Looking at the team's schedule, predicting results game-by-game, and predicting where the team will finish.
• General strengths and weaknesses (pass game, run defense, etc.)
• Highlighting important training camp battles
• Discuss a team's offensive and defensive strategies
• Discuss other significant news stories affecting the team.

 

A comprehensive guide can be found here. This guide will make the above more clear. Please be sure to look through it before offering yourself as a writer.

 

Are you interested in being a writer?

Before you submit your name please consider the time it will take to write the post and please make sure that you have the motivation and ability to fulfill your commitment. I won't have the time to chase people down. If you sign up, you will be expected to meet your voluntary commitment. That said, life happens and sometimes people will not be able to hold to their commitment, if that happens, please let me know as soon as possible so that we have the chance of finding another writer.

 

Sign up by commenting below. You are allowed to write twice, once as a fan of your team and once as a non-fan. Selection will generally be first come, first served, though priority will be given to fan writers and to ensuring as many different users as possible have the opportunity to participate. I ask all prospective writers to have some sort of informal “resume” or prior work available to showcase their writing skills.

 

If you want to write as a non-fan, but don't have a specific team you want to write for, let me know! If you do have any preferences, please list them. Please note that non-fan writers typically submit their writing in the comments of the fan-writer. You are also welcome to submit it as its own post, though it would not be likely to get a sticky.

 

Please pay attention to the dates listed below, if you want to write but cannot do it on the given date, let me know so we can try to work around it.

 

If you would like to sign up, please include:

* The team(s) you want to write for

Hey everyone,

This was my second year tracking Carolina Panthers draft visits, and I really appreciate all the support and engagement along the way.

I’m already thinking about how to improve it for next year, so I wanted to ask, what would make the tracker more useful for you? Whether that’s layout, additional data, analysis, or anything else, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

My goal is to make this the most helpful and reliable Panthers draft visit resource possible, so any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks again!
