No change in our rankings

Last Week: 14

This Week: 14

Change: 0

If you're a fan of the Carolina Panthers, their comeback against the Cincinnati Bengals was probably pretty sweet. But was the tie at the end of overtime satisfying?

The Panthers continue to play way over their collective talent level. With so many question marks at wide receiver, along the offensive line and in the secondary before the year, the Panthers weren't expected to compete at this level. But here they are, going toe-to-toe with one of the AFC's best teams.

Credit Ron Rivera. Credit Cam Newton. Definitely credit assistant coaches Ricky Proehl (wide receivers) and Sean McDermott (defensive coordinator). With a Week 7 win over the Green Bay Packers, we could be talking about one of the NFC's best teams. If they can double that up with a win over Seattle in Week 9, the Panthers will be a Top 5 team.

I feel like Matt Miller doesnt even watch football.

 

Indeed.  "Playing over their collective talent level"??  Are you serious?  We are playing so far below our talent level it's ridiculous.  Allowing 34 ppg over the past 4 games with Kuechly, Davis, CJ, Star, KK is mind blowing.  I wouldn't say our offense is playing below our talent level, they're about where they should be considering we have Cam, Olsen and KB but dealing with an atrocious OL and no run game.

We need someone other than Cam Newton to step up and make some plays on offense. Cotchery can't drop game winners, and Cam can't have 17 carries. Damn game looked like the Auburn tigers

I was thinking the exact same thing. And just like at Auburn, the preconceived hate for Cam is keeping the media from gushing over his dominant performance yesterday. He is the best QB in the NFL RIGHT NOW.

Meh, hard to credit McDermott when our D has given up 34+ points in three of the last four games. 

 

I think we lose next week at GB, but come back and beat the Seahawks at home. 

I think we have a better shot against GB the Seattle.  Lynch will be tough for us to stop.

 

Then again most of us thought we would lose to the Bears and the Bengals.....that's why this team is fun to watch.

Not saying he has the best body of work, but that if you switched him out with any other QB in any other offense RIGHT NOW he would be an improvement for every single team.

 

 

Are you really implying that Cam (or any other QB) can just be dropped into any style offense and be better than the QB that is running it now? 

 

Do you have any idea how long it takes a QB to learn a new offense?

      This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops.

      I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
