Suddenly, the Carolina Panthers' offense isn't looking too shabby.

On Tuesday, the Panthers signed wide receiver Robby Anderson to a two-year, $20 million deal, bringing in a player who was widely regarded as one of the best wideouts available entering free agency.

Of course, Anderson's track record is questionable. He is coming off of a 2019 campaign in which he caught just 52 passes for 779 yards and five touchdowns, and he has never had a 1,000-yard season since entering the NFL in 2016.

However, we need to keep in mind that he spent the first four years of his career with the New York Jets, a franchise that certainly wouldn't be confused for one that had it all figured out at quarterback during that stretch.

Perhaps Anderson could flourish in a more stable situation?

Not that we know much about how good the Panthers will be in 2020 just yet, but there are some pieces in place here.

Carolina signed Teddy Bridgewater to man the quarterback position, and the offense already includes running back Christian McCaffrey and fellow receiver D.J. Moore.

Is Bridgewater anything more than a game manager? We don't really have any evidence to suggest otherwise just yet, as what we have seen from the 27-year-old thus far in his career indicates that he is just that, but perhaps having weapons like McCaffrey, Moore and Anderson will elevate him?

Here is the thing with Anderson: he played for Panthers' new head coach Matt Rhule at Temple, so there is some familiarity there. Plus, he is a legitimate deep threat, and at 6-foot-3, he has great size for the position and represents a terrific red-zone option as a result.

Anderson has never played alongside another receiver as talented as Moore, so he could certainly from that. He also won't face the pressure of being a No. 1 receiver like he did with the Jets, as Moore will be the clear-cut top guy going into next season.

The jury is still largely out on Anderson, but again, he is only going to be asked to be Bridgewater's No. 2 option as far as wide receivers are concerned. Let's also remember that McCaffrey is already one of the best-receiving halfbacks in history, so in actuality, Anderson may be Bridgewater's third option overall.

That is in stark contrast to Anderson's time with New York when he was expected to be a No. 1 receiver even though he clearly was not a true ace.

Now, some of that pressure is off, and he will be able to play for a coach that he has known since his collegiate days.

I won't jump so far ahead of myself to say that the Panthers have an explosive offense. Again, Bridgewater is not exactly Patrick Mahomes, and questions remain about Carolina's offensive line.

But on the other side of the coin, there is no doubt that the Panthers have some really nice pieces and could end up being a rather nice surprise in the 2020 NFL season. At least as far as the offense is concerned, anyway.
