Faulkner: Panthers to go 13-3

Recommended Posts

"I expect the 2014 Carolina Panthers to win 13 games, win the NFC South title, and earn a playoff bye. Low projections should have the Panthers winning 10 games and making the playoffs. With the talent Carolina has the Panthers could send as many as eleven players to the Pro-Bowl; seven could earn All-Pro honors"

...

The offensive line will not be one of the league’s best entering the 2014 season, but it will be solid, and has potential to be very good as the year goes on. As with any team, the Panther’s offensive line needs to stay healthy, but it’s crucial for Carolina, which doesn’t have a very deep line

...

If the offensive line can stay healthy and build chemistry as the year progresses, and Newton’s new receivers turn into weapons, Newton could have an MVP- type season.

...

Benjamin is looking like a true weapon... but the real focus should be on the tight ends. After coming off a great season in 2013, one in which he led the Panthers in receiving, Greg Olsen could be the focus of the passing game, or at least the tight ends in general could be. Olsen was joined this season by free agent tight end Ed Dickson, in addition to second year tight end Brandon Williams and fourth year tight end Richie Brockel, who’ll help the Panthers in these double-tight end sets regaining popularity."

Who is this guy?

 

Personally, I don't mind the media dogging on us.  Historically, we've always been much better off as underdogs.

Carolina Panthers Lead Correspondent for isportsweb.com.

Fantasy sports taught me how to be objective. The AL East taught me sports is a business. Living on both coasts taught me that people truly do hate Tom Brady. Golf taught me there is athletic life after high-school football.

    • I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan 
    • Cowboys. Patriots. Couldn't ask for two bigger villains.
    • I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
