On their 2014 Draft

 

Critics will suggest that the Panthers' sub-.500 record is indicative of a disappointing season, but the team claimed the NFC South title and won a playoff game -- thanks in no small part to the efforts of a superb 2014 class. The team got a 1,000-yard season from Kelvin Benjamin, who provided the NFL with a glimpse of his potential dominance as a WR1. Trai Turner shored up the interior of the offensive line and paved the way for Jonathan Stewart to make an impact in key moments. The defense started to flex its muscles when Tre Boston and Bene' Benwikere were inserted into the secondary down the stretch. Benwikere in particular played exceptionally well over the final month of the season, blanketing premier receivers in one-on-one coverage. With Carolina also receiving solid contributions from an undrafted free agent (receiver Philly Brown), there is a lot to like about the Panthers' rookie class.

Brooks was the only one that had Benwikere mocked to us last year. It was like his mock 7.0 or something, but he had him on the Panthers.

I respect these experts' opinions about personnel more than those of many (not necessarily in any order):

1. Greg Cosell

2. Gil Brandt

3. Mike Mayock

4. Bucky Brooks

Meh...still think the team had a ton to improve on and I'm sorry, back to back champs really doesn't mean much, had we lost that last ATL game I don't think I'd feel any different, we won the division because the division sucked. I just can't be happy with 7-9 winning the division or not we should have been better and we'll need to be better.

      Anyone else think we’re getting too hyped

      While I have a chance to be overly excited I'll take that opportunity. The team will determine what happens with that. It's been a while since we've had much to be excited about, I'd say let's just embrace it and see how it unfolds.

      Knowns: top 10 o line 2 proven, quality RBs 2 proven, WRs who get open and catch everything. 2 others who show a lot of ‘potential’ A QB who improved greatly in the last few games of the season, topped off by putting up a 40 burger win in OT in this franchise’s kryptonite house. What will transpire this season is yet to be seen.  defense has far less proven. 2  very good CBs, a stud DT (coming off a major injury) and the rest is, again, ‘potential.’ A DC that is essentially starting the season on the hot seat.  This is not 2003, but it could be good. 2003 was the most stacked roster from top to bottom that this team has ever had. This squad finished on a big upswing, yes, but we’ll see.  I think it all comes down to how spiked your hopium is. The running game is where it is for the team. This is not a defense that will win 3 points games. Just not. To win, this team will have to dominate TOP and come up with 2+ more 3rd down stops each game. Again, do-able and should be good for at least a 7 point differential in our favor, ‘hopefully.’  I will say that it is nice seeing talent that actually belongs in the NFL on our roster.

      I believe in bryce...

      Say what you want, but last year Bryce gave Carolina the best QB-play we've seen a very long time. A very long time. Often with rookies at WR and TE, and a RB not known for his receiving abilities. There is much reason for optimism with added weapons, and consistency/ chemistry on the offensive line and coaching staff. Now if the defense can get to average instead of a heaping lump of dog doo, this team should win a lot more games. This season is a turn the corner season. Next season is the year to press the accelerator to the floor.
