Your 5 Boldest Predictions for the 2014 Season


Icege

Recommended Posts

Alright, since we've got a lot of football psychics that know exactly how poorly/proficiently a player will perform let's see who's willing to stick their neck out and be forced to eat failcrow at the end!

I'll go first...

1. Byron Bell will be a serviceable LT, but when giving up a sack after 3 straight games without giving up a sack he'll instantly be crucified by the Huddle which will then start a crowdfunding project to obtain life insurance for Cam.

2. Kelvin Benjamin will channel his inner Jericho Crotchery and score 10 TDs.

3. Double Trouble will return for their last hurrah, combining for over 1600 yards.

4. Robert Lester will be the starting SS by the end of the season.

5. Josh Norman will make the final roster much to everyone's confusion.

1) Our WR corp. will produce better than last year. That one was easy.

2) Our O-line will be better than most folks believe possible.

3) The Secondary will be near the top of the league in turn-overs.

4) The wife will watch her first Panther game and actually like it. Wishful thinking.

5) ccs, harpo, and troll will continue to post idiotic stuff to get attention.

6) No matter how well we do, too damm many folks will still whine about not doing better.

7) Dex will find out his woman is not really a Panther fan. All hell will break loose.

8) Lola will finally meet Tolbert. After 3 days of hospitalization she will awake and not remember a thing.

If I wanted attention I would say Cam Newton ends up being replaced by Marcus Mariota.

So this "The team will finish last in the NFC South. Everyone else has gotten noticeably better, we've gotten noticeably worse." Wasn't a cry for attention? Oops, my bad.

1. Brad Nortman will have a breakout year and make the Pro Bowl.
2. Two Panthers from the same position (Linebacker or DE) will make the Pro Bowl.

3. Amini Silatolu will emerge as a top-ten guard.

4. DeAngelo Williams will become a strong backfield receiver, and will record over 1,300 total yards (rushing + receiving)

5. Ed Dickson will have more receiving yards than Tiquan Underwood.

    • Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.  
    • Same I think Randsom is a baller..... hopefully we don't have to suffer through 4-8 games of Scott blowing azz to get him on the feild.
    • Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
