BREAKING:  Pete Prisco is an idiot

 

 

 

Panthers at 18, behind the likes of the Jets, Ravens, Chargers, Dolphins,

Steelers, Eagles, Cardinals, etc etc.

9. Carolina Panthers (1-0, LW: 13)

Perhaps the front seven can carry this team to the playoffs again. That was a great effort on Sunday. Maybe their many limitations really won't matter.

Bleacher Report:  12

 

This Week: 12

Last Week: 16

Change: +4

With Cam Newton standing on the sidelines nursing an injured rib, the Carolina Panthers beat a team many (myself included) predicted would have a big season. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers couldn't keep pace, though, and Carolina won 20-14.

The Panthers looked good, but the game ball goes to rookie wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin. The dropped passes at Florida State that caused Benjamin to fall in my rankings (No. 74 overall predraft) have been fixed thanks to Ricky Proehl's coaching and the receiver's hard work. Benjamin looks like a star in the making.

The Panthers defense remains impressive up front, and it was reigning Defensive Player of the Year Luke Kuechly securing the win with a forced fumble with a minute and change remaining in the game to protect a three-point lead.

The Panthers move up this week, and with a healthy Newton returning soon they could be a fixture in the top 10 again this year.

The next three games should tell us everything we need to know about this season. Really, we should already get a good glimpse of it this Sunday vs Detroit.

 

Not at all. Where were we last year after our first 4 games? Did they define our season?

 

Good or bad, the first quarter of the season can be misleading, especially when you factor in injuries.

Carolina Panthers (1-0) HIGH: 14 / LOW: 15
Despite the loss of Steve Smith, the Panthers wide receiver corps looks improved with the addition of rookie Kelvin Benjamin, who has already surfaced as Cam Newton’s No. 1 target. However, the real issue has been the poor play of the revamped offensive line.

We're a team that already know how good we are or can be. Not the same team last year that was still trying to find who we are since 2011. There's a difference.

Yep Prisco is dumb or he has a personal vendetta against Carolina for some strange reason.  We are the defending NFC South champs, just went on the road and won without our starting QB and our defense dominated just as they did all last season.  Yeah 18 seems about right.  SMH.

      Outside of cerrato, I do like our draft overall. Hard to get can't miss draft picks when you pick late in the draft

      Not a Moore fan-but he had a few good games last year-but I want players that scare you--Renfrow's route running and intelligence, Legette's size, speed, and strength, AT's intelligence and route running, Coker's body control, strong hands, and abilty to win contested catches, and TMac's size, body control, and ability to find soft spots in zone coverages.  Horn gives them the ability to stretch the field and he plays special teams.   Moore has a nice smile and can dance.  He filled in well last season, but to get better as a team, you have to upgrade your players.  I think Moore is a bottom of the roster guy who got bumped when we drafted 2 WRs and signed a legit free agent.  Here is the thing--TMac makes us better because he is great against the zone--man?  Good luck with that.  AT's role can be reduced, and that is probably a good thing.  He can specialize in situational football. Coker?  Just getting started. XL?  Just getting started.  Drafting TMac was probably a bit of a wake up call, but XL will be better as the 2. Renfrow?  I see him splitting reps with AT--keeping both fresh and giving different looks. Horn?  Watch the safety cheat his side when he is in the game--I see a young Steve Smith type in him, but he has yet to play a game.  I hear that Morgan loves him.
