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.

      One of the dumbest suggestions ever

      By Davidson Deac II · Posted

      I don't really care as much about athleticism and arm strength.  While Murray might be better in that regard, I think Bryce has enough of both to do well in the NFL. The main reason this trade reference is silly is the money and the fact that Murray has been around a long while and hasn't proven that he can perform consistently when the game is on the line.  Bryce has shown that he can play well in the clutch (in the few opportunities he has had).

      If Bryce can continue the level of play he showed after the benching, then there's a good shot we at least compete to win the division. Tampa is a solid team but even last year in our week division they went 10-7 and will be on their 4th OC in as many years. The Saints are a mess and are in a mist of a half rebuild half still trying to compete mode and will probably be starting a rookie QB. The Falcons are a wild card as they have a really good offense but are we really crowning Michael Penix as a franchise QB after just 3 games?  The only thing I want out of this season is for Bryce to come out and without a shadow of a doubt prove he's our franchise QB. If that happens then most of the fanbase would be happy and I believe we'd be in a good place record wise at the end of the season. Maybe falling just short of winning the division with a chance to sneak in as a wild card team.
