Mike MoraitisAug 2, 2026

Moraitis expects Chuba Hubbard to open 2026 as Carolina's lead back with Jonathon Brooks heavily involved in a near-even timeshare, and sees Brooks' upside giving them a chance to eventually take over the backfield.

What Mike Moraitis said

our reading, beside the words we read it from
Hubbard should be considered the favorite to lead the Panthers' backfield out of the gate, but we fully believe Brooks is going to be involved from the get-go with a fairly even split of touches.

How each call scored

2 checkable claims — 2 depth chart calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 3 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.

Of the 2 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 1 and below it on 1.

Each call is scored 0 to 100 against what happened, on its own, by the published methodology. The naive guess is what knowing nothing would have scored on the same calls; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.
