I know Paco made a similar thread for the Detroit Lions but I thought it was an interesting thread and I want to know what you guys think about the Panthers this season?


Personally I can't make up my mind about this team. On one hand this is the same team on paper that finished 12-4 two seasons ago and got blown out by the Arizona Cardinals. The only difference between that team and this team on paper is Julius Peppers has been replaced by Charles Johnson and Jake Delhomme has been replaced by Derek Anderson (2007) pro bowler and #1 pick Cam Newton.

Still I think in order to make the playoffs they need to sign Braylon Edwards... what do yall think?

[bb_skoots]

They lost most of their D-line which was one of the best in the league. Also Tampa Bay and Atlanta are vastly improved in the last few years. No longer w's on the schedule.

[agharah1]

Washington, Jacksonville, Tennessee, and Minnesota at home are the only winnable games I see on the Panthers schedule.

[GunShard]

Maybe their season will be like the Rams when Sam Bradford entered. 7-9 season.

A team that can't be much worse than last year, but once again have the hardest schedule in the NFL. I'm skipping this one.

[hitman09]

They had new QB so it would be better than last season I can see a 5-11.

[TrajaD]

I predict under 6 wins.

[Jive]

2-3. I think Cam is going to cause a lot of problems in the locker room when he starts to complain about the big paycut he had to take to leave Auburn for the NFL.

[Skware]

Washington, Jacksonville, Tennessee, and Minnesota at home are the only winnable games I see on the Panthers schedule.

4-12

DeAngelo Williams was a total bust last year. ( and im a hugh DWill fan from his Memphis days)

Jonathon Stewart was ok but teams knew to just stack the box and Game Over. Maybe Cam can help with the Play Action.

4 wins Panthers this year.

[bb_skoots]

2-3. I think Cam is going to cause a lot of problems in the locker room when he starts to complain about the big paycut he had to take to leave Auburn for the NFL.

[ShogunRua]

4-12

[razzy]

Carolina is a mess,but they will be respectable in 3 years,but now i got them at 3-13,assuring them the #1 draft pick in 2012

[craigpb]

Still have no WR and probably no QB so expect another terrible season.

[pthai]

over 8

[onlooker]

5 wins. That is being generous.

[Qtip]

3, maybe even 2.

[Ice House]

Still have no WR and probably no QB so expect another terrible season.

Here is the thing about Carolina.... they will be able to run the ball as good as anyone. But if they get behind in the game they will not be able to come back. They really need another WR especially since they are inexperienced at QB. I think Cam will be a HUGE improvement over Jimmy Clausen.

[Ice House]

Carolina's GM Marty Hurney has to be the worst GM in all of football... he wasted #2 draft pick on Armanti Edwards who played QB at App State and drafted him as WR last year. This is nuts b/c Randy Moss was traded for a 4th rounder by Oakland and Sanantio Holmes was traded to the Jets for a 6th rounder.


The Panthers coach is calling for 10 wins this season but unless Brandon Lafell turns into a super star I see 4-12 this season. It's not that the Panthers aren't better than last year it's just everyone they play is just that much better.
