Rare decent read from the "writers" of the Bleacher Report. A couple of things I appreciated.

" But Newton deserves something: admiration, appreciation, the realization that if he isn't a franchise quarterback, maybe the term needs to be redefined."

" Jonathan Stewart and Mike Tolbert returned to rescue the running game from the likes of DeAngelo Williams and Fozzy Whittaker." - Not real accurate as Tolbert has been bad and Whittaker has looked pretty good

" If Cam Newton had Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd to throw to, he would be an MVP candidate."

"Some might argue that the Panthers don't "deserve" to be in the playoffs. But you cannot argue that they don't belong. They did not quit. They found ways to survive and get better. Their quarterback was a big part of that. Look for Newton to win his first career playoff game on Saturday. After the season he has had, that should mean more than any award.

Prediction: Panthers 22, Cardinals 13"

24th ranked good defense?

 

 

 

The cards are pretty good at getting turnovers. They arent the best at stopping an O but they get the ball. Biggest weakness I've seen out of that D is stopping the TE. Even more so than the run. Foote has been burnt all year in coverage. This game comes down to OUR OLine. If Cam has time and the mollys do their job ,we win. Cards cant say the same

Olsen should have a huge game, as long as we can keep Cam clean.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      There was no reason to believe in either Cam or Jake as a top tier elite QB before those seasons either. Cam was an "athletic" QB in most people's minds and his passing skills were open for debate. And there was a bit to that as he was still trying to get that massive power in his arm tamed to be able to put some touch on his passes. And then, he did it. Missiles became bombs, the firing lanes became points of finesse. Cam grew up and leveled up, while still retaining the ability and drive to truck people whenever he wanted. And Jake... no one freaking believed in Jake except Jake himself. He got, and let's be honest with this, one chance in a losing game to make something out of his career. And he rose to the occasion like some kind of mythical hero and continued to do so for the season. He became a true leader for the team, and his gunslinger capabilities rehabbed Moose's career and created Smitty as a force in the league. Smitty went from a barker to a biter. But no one believed in Jake going in. And they trashed him on his way out. Now Bryce... who knows? I've seen some improvement. Maybe he finds his footing. His teammates seem to love and respect him and that means a lot. The game should be moving at his speed now. He has weapons available to him and maybe a defense that doesn't just roll over by the third quarter. And his coach seems to be moving this team in the right direction. Could he do it? It's up to him, if he can find the magic like Jake and Cam did. But don't doubt this, magic is really, really hard to find.
