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.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Icege · Posted

      I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
