2015 NFC South dream team.

[Verge]

If you had to put together a team comprised of members of the nfc south, what would it look like? Try to keep biased to a minimum of course.

 

Qb: Cam Newton

Rb: Jonathan Stewart, Mark Ingram

Fb: Mike Tolbert

Te: Greg Olsen, Jacob Tamme

Lt: Terron Armstead

Lg: Logan Mankins

C: Ryan Kalil

Rg: Andrew Norwell

Rt: Zach Strief

Wr: Julio Jones, Mike Evans, Kelvin Benjamin, Vincent Jackson

 

Re: Charles Johnson, Akiem Hicks

Dt: Gerald McCoy, KK

Le: Cameron Jordan, Kroy Biermann

LOLB: Thomas Davis

MLB: Luke Kuechly

ROLB: Lavonte David

Fs: Jairus Byrd

Ss: William Moore

Cb1: Keenan Lewis

Cb2: Josh Norman

Nickel: Bene Benwikere 

[Jeremy Igo]

My non homer take is Cam Newton as the #1 QB.

 

Drew Brees lost more than a little bit last season. This season will be worse for him. 

[ItsPantone278]

Who needs WR these days anyways?

[Carolina Cajun]

No wide receivers?  Bold move.

[CarolinaNCSU]

Jordan Cameron is a DE now? Not to mention Kroy Biermann sucks.

​Cameron would play DE in our defense, he can certainly play with his hand in the ground. Kroy is better than our current backups I think.

​I think you are talking about Cam Jordan, not Jordan Cameron.

 

And no, Kroy is done.

FYI, NFL.com just did a piece on the same topic

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000497270/article/drew-brees-julio-jones-gerald-mccoy-lead-allnfc-south-team

I was surprise they only had Khalil.  No Norwell or Turner...  Gotta love their comments about Luke though!

 

Quarterback: Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints

Running back: Mark Ingram, New Orleans Saints

Wide receiver: Julio Jones, Atlanta Falcons

Wide receiver: Mike Evans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Wide receiver: Kelvin Benjamin, Carolina Panthers

Lots of fireworks made for a nice first go-around for the former 'Nole. Of course, there were also plenty of drops. Surer hands in his sophomore season would lead to a surefire Pro Bowl spot.

Tight end: Greg Olsen, Carolina Panthers

While transitioning from the Steve Smith Era to the Kelvin Benjamin Era, Cam could always sooth his soul by looking in the direction of his flaxen tight end.

Tackle: Demar Dotson, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Guard: Logan Mankins, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Center: Ryan Kalil, Carolina Panthers

The Panthers' mirthful vet stabilized an otherwise shaky line last season. This year, though, he'll be pushed by new Saints center Max Unger for top billing at the position.

Guard: Jon Asamoah, Atlanta Falcons

Tackle: Zach Strief, New Orleans Saints

 

DEFENSE

Defensive end: Cam Jordan, New Orleans Saints

Defensive tackle: Gerald McCoy, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Defensive tackle: Star Lotulelei, Carolina Panthers

He's a 320-pound cinderblock who is also nimble enough to apply pressure on the quarterback. And if the Utah product needs to take a few plays off as a member of our All-NFC South Team, he can just give the snaps to his pal and linemate in Carolina, Kawann Short.

Defensive end: Charles Johnson, Carolina Panthers

He's averaged 10.5 sacks over the last five seasons and is right in the middle of his prime.

Outside linebacker: Lavonte David, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Inside linebacker: Luke Kuechly, Carolina Panthers

He's the defensive version of Andrew Luck: anointed as an all-timer by Halloween of his rookie season. The striking thing is, he deserves the lofty accolades even more so than Luck.

Outside linebacker: Thomas Davis, Carolina Panthers

Knee injuries delayed his rise to stardom, but the former University of Georgia safety's last two seasons have been essential to Carolina's back-to-back division titles. Little wonder the Panthers just gave him a two-year extension.

Cornerback: Josh Norman, Carolina Panthers

If someone asks, "Who?" you tell 'em, "The best corner in the division."

Cornerback: Desmond Trufant, Atlanta Falcons

Safety: Kenny Vaccaro, New Orleans Saints

Safety: Jairus Byrd, New Orleans Saints

 

SPECIAL TEAMS

Returner: Devin Hester, Atlanta Falcons

Kicker: Matt Bryant, Atlanta Falcons

Given the fact that Graham Gano did most of his work in the great outdoors in Carolina, he might deserve this spot. But even though Bryant spent nearly half his season in the Georgia Dome (minus Week 8's "home game" in London), his 90.6 percent success rate in 2014 (including 7 of 10 from 50-plus yards) was too strong to ignore.

Punter: Thomas Morstead, New Orleans Saints

 

[Cary Kollins]

Dameshak sure has changed his tune about the Panthers.

 

Must've tried Bojangles or something.

[ColumbusCounty]

I hate our rivals as much as the next person but that Trufant kid @ Cb has some talent. Almost did a back flip though when KB caught that touchdown and sat in the endzone nodding his head...good times lol.

I'd make a list but I'm pretty sure it would be heavily biased in our favor except for safety and tackle perhaps. 

[pantherphan96]

No respect for kickers who spend half their season in a dome. Bryant should never miss a FG at home. Also would take KK over Star at DT. McCoy and David are the real deal for the Bucs though.

[pantherphan96]

I'll take Norman over Keenan Lewis any fuging day.

[CarolinaNCSU]

We have 8 of the starting 22 players, if I mathed right. With a few guys (Cam, KK, Bene, Norwell/Trai) either having an argument for the spot or coming for it in the next year or two.

Pretty damn good, even in a bad division. 

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

oh come on, brees will post better stats in 2015 than cam. his "down year" last year was still excellent by any standards.
