Let's face it, the depth chart on panthers.com is bad; I don't just mean 'yeesh, that was a bad play Godfrey' bad, I mean 'WTF why is MacBern still in the game?' bad. I don't know who is responsible for the terrible depth chart currently on the official team site (we're blaming interns) but it still has Tony Fiametta, C.J. Davis and Ryan Pugh listed, and this depth chart was being tinkered with YESTERDAY... let that sink in for a second.
Since we are just a few days from the start of the regular season we think you deserve a proper depth chart, and while I don't claim to have any inside knowledge on this, at this point it's pretty clear how it will look. Keep in mind, this is a week one depth chart. As much as it pains me to have MacBern at starting RG it will probably happen this week because of his familiarity with the blocking schemes. It will take more than 5 days to get Hangartner and Jean-Gilles up to speed to the point they can start.
