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. ... Do-everything linebacker Luke Kuechly, the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year, is off to an unsurprising hot start, but he’s far from the whole story. It’s players like Dwan Edwards and Mario Addison (each with 2 1/2 sacks already) who are making the true difference."

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

And the mad scramble to regain credibility begins. The Panthers are a lot like Cam in that the media has misjudged them.

Some with eat their crispy Cajun seasoned Crow-jangles® like men, while others like Terry and Boomer will just hate and wish for us to fail and masturbate like crazed weasels if and when we do.

I hate the sports media.  All they know is what was popular last week or they go off of the popular team.  We ran the table for how many games in a row before losing in the playoffs?  And they all picked us to drop back into the dog house.  They don't see Rivera as a top coach, they only now considering the defense as legit, and Cam is still only an ok QB with great upside.  Give me a break.

      Sam Martin   CARPunter#6 Panthers re-signed P Sam Martin to a two-year contract. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Martin’s deal is up to $5 million. Martin joined the Panthers last season on a one-year deal and wound up booting 56 punts for an average of 47.2 yards per punt. Martin is a 13-year vet of the league who has spent time with four different franchises. He landed a career-best 48.2 percent of his kicks inside his opponent’s 20-yard line last season.

      What to Consider when you Draft in Round 1

      By Basbear · Posted

      Surprised CB is that low.  19th is odd spot. For many recent drafts, teams only felt there were around 14 first round players.  So to many 19 is just an early second and doesn't hold the value of a first.  If you go off- the smart path of LT, QB, edge, WR, CB, etc. Whatever your OG, Safety, ILB, etc needs to be a difference maker, that's the key point. I've said the 8th best edge is better than the 1st safety. Same for QB and even WRs. You should 100% factor in position value.  MHS you've been wanting a FS, let me tell you its super difficult to be a difference making FS. You're just sooo farrrr away from the action and the end result most times. If you're in the play, defense made mistakes in order. Now to talk out of both sides, maaaaaann that white boy from Oregon....I thought he crushed the combine and honestly that alone made me rethink "is he worth 19 now?!?!" he's now in the discussion for me, but still below others.    Plus I feel TE is vastly underrated in value terms. But looking at the last 20 years of TEs in the first, its down right bad. You're better like X10 better drafting one in 4th or 5th.
