Ranking the 5 NFL teams with the worst offensive units ahead of 2022 season ft. Panthers, Bears and more

The NFL is becoming a much more offense-oriented league. Teams are becoming more and more reliant on their star quarterback and his weapons to deliver the goods.

Offensive stars such as Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp ran riot in 2021, leading the Los Angeles Rams to Super Bowl success. Stafford's move to Los Angeles pushed them to the Super Bowl title, displaying once again how important it is to get the offense ticking.

However, plenty of teams across the league have struggled year on year to nail their offense despite being given plenty of opportunities in free agency and the NFL Draft.

Here are the five worst offenses ahead of the 2022 NFL season.

#5 Seattle Seahawks

Yes, the Seattle Seahawks have two superstar wide receivers in D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. But they made the list due to their issues at quarterback.

As it stands, the Seahawks have two quarterbacks competing for the starting berth in 2022, after trading Russell Wilson. They are Drew Lock and Geno Smith. Both would struggle to make most rosters across the NFL. They will likely hinder Metcalf and Lockett rather than help them.

#4 Carolina Panthers

Despite signing Baker Mayfield, the Carolina Panthers still have a very average offense going into 2022. Mayfield will be competing for the starting role with fellow 2018 first-round pick Sam Darnold.

Darnold failed to impress in 2021, throwing for nine touchdowns and 13 interceptions.

There appears to be three QB competitions this summer:
🟨 Steelers: Mitch Trubisky vs. Kenny Pickett
🟦 Panthers: Baker Mayfield vs. Sam Darnold
🟩 Seahawks: Geno Smith vs. Drew Lock

Running back Christian McCaffrey is amongst the league's very best when healthy, but staying fit has been an issue for him for two seasons now. He has played only 10 games over the last two campaigns and will be desperate to return to form in 2022.
