Recommended Posts

Washington Post has Panthers #1 of all 32 NFL teams.

1. Carolina Panthers (2-0), Last week’s ranking: 3

The Panthers are for real. Their defense allowed 4.6 net yards per pass through the first two weeks of the season and is rated as the second best defensive unit in the league by Pro Football Focus .

what was or highest average power ranking in history?

 

probably came after that superbowl run

 

Interesting question. We were super respected in the media from 2004 to 2006. SI picked us to win the Super Bowl at least twice in that span. We were high on power rankings all the time. Then we kept disappointing and things seemed to fall apart for us among major NFL media in 2006 when we were coming off the great 2005 season and added Keyshawn and then we were pretty much garbage that year until December. They've disrespected us ever since then.

The New York Post, the 13th-oldest and seventh-most widely circulated newspaper in the United States, has Panthers #2 in in NFL only behind Broncos with the headline: "NFL Power Rankings: Meet the powerhouse Panthers"

"Cam Newton and the Panthers are flying high with a 2-0 start backed by a clamp-down defense... The Seahawks’ defense might get most of the attention, but its counterpart in Carolina needs to start being part of the conversation. The Panthers are 2-0 ... and almost all of the credit needs to go to a defense that..looks every bit as suffocating as the one in Seattle."

The New York Post also tweeted: "NFL Power Rankings: Most wrote off the Panthers , but they look just as good as last year"

    • It’s definitely a bit of a crapshoot, but Joe covers the team for a living—there’s a baseline expectation that he should have a deep, working knowledge of the roster, positional groups, and overall team needs. That kind of familiarity should come through in the analysis. At times, though, it feels more like he approaches covering the Panthers as an assignment rather than something he’s genuinely invested in. When you read some of the other beat writers at The Athletic, the contrast stands out. There’s a noticeable difference in how deeply they dive into roster construction, scheme fits, player development, and front office philosophy. Their work often feels more detailed, more nuanced, and more connected to the day-to-day reality of the team. That’s not to say Joe doesn’t provide value, but compared to some of his peers, the level of insight and depth just doesn’t always feel as sharp or as thorough as it could be
    • Per Tony Pauline: https://www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-active-news-sources-giants-heavily-weighing-wr-with-ten-pick-amid-malik-nabers-injury-concerns-david-bailey-a-game-changer-for-robert-saleh/ Surprise Picks In The First Round As we get closer to the draft, the chatter is getting louder about surprise picks in the bottom half of Round 1. So which teams are talked about as pulling shockers right now, just a few days out from the start of the draft? Most I’ve spoken with say keep an eye on picks 20, 21, and 22, presently owned by the Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Los Angeles Chargers. I’m told cornerback Chris Johnson and linebacker Jacob Rodriguez are in play for the Cowboys with the 20th pick, their second selection in the initial round. Rodriguez is also being spoken about as a possibility for the Buffalo Bills at the 26th pick.   
    • Who was better Jon Beason or Jrod???, for college prospect terms in their drafts...   I think its clear and Jon was what 25th?   Jarod does have luke-like traits and that was 9th overall.   I feel Jon had him covered tho....
