@PFF: With a pair of second year Defensive Tackles to get excited about, what can you expect from the #Panthers in '14 https://t.co/gD9z68ACLJ

5 Reasons to be confident

4. Melvin White

An undrafted free agent a year ago, Melvin White took over one of the starting cornerback jobs midseason and heads into 2014 looking to improve in his second year. Although preseason doesn’t count, it certainly matters, and White has shown improvement from last year. White finished the preseason fifth among all cornerbacks with a +5.0 grade and with many question marks in the Panthers’ secondary, White is near the bottom of the list and thus far serves as a success story for impact undrafted free agents.

They have 5 reasons to be confident and 5 reasons to be concerned. I'm on my phone so I just took one of the reasons to be confident and put it in the OP.

Up until recently I was pessimistic on the season, then I thought more about it. In 2011 we had a rookie QB, rookie HC, lockout year with no OTAs and literally the worst Ds in the league and we still won 6 games, with our D now being top 2 and our QB and HC with a ton more experience, its hard to see us losing less than 9 games.

Short was ranked 9th in pass rushing for DT. Good stat to have. Considering he was a rookie that's great.

Chandler had a horrible rating as a right guard (-11) but did have a decent rating as a right tackle (+2) which is something to look forward to. Chandler did have a - 3 rating this preseason but he was injured and it's hard to judge the preseason.

I think White will continue to improve and be the future at CB. If Norman can get it together we will have a good young trio of corners with White, Bene and Norman.

Winning less than 9 games?

      Well this is not a positive development for the team in the slightest. We just got a lot thinner at a very thin position.

      Terrible news all around. Concussion demon takes another panther- Luke, oher, and now jewell. Panthers seemed to want to re-do the contract and Jewell didn't want too, that's a sign that he's retired for good.    I've already arm-chair GM this, its bad. Just nothing on the market, not even a Cloweny-like cut waiting for the right team. Trade wise, another big bad. Jags may have two- former 1st round Lloyd . Member the CJ Henderson trade, Panthers sent a 3rd- Chad Muma was used on that pick. He's done near nothing, but listed as LB and  he's in the last year of deal. Jags drafted two MLBs this yr. Drew Sanders from broncos former 3rd coming off a torn ach......ugh he's young! Channing Tindall of the phins, another 3rd rounder in the final year without doing much.. Brian Asamoah of the Viking, 3rd rounder in the final year without doing much.......     Cuts seemed to be the best path, by far. I don't know if Dan should trade swap 6th for one of those 3rd round duds and a 7th.      Panthers are going to need a huge surprise from Bam Martin, windom(statered some last yr), or the other UDFA Nomura.  That's the best hope right now, someone on the current roster shows up and shocks everyone while they take over a starting MLB job.
