Love this quote from the article.  I indeed hope we will have the last laugh!

some immediately panned the Panthers' pick [Funchess]

After further review, however, there are several factors to suggest that Gettlemen, head coach Ron Rivera and especially recently extended quarterback Cam Newton may be the ones laughing last.

Wow.  This has got to be one of the most positive Panthers articles I've seen in the mainstream media.  I can't resist one more quote.  This is definitely a nice analysis to encourage us Panthers fans and validate our confidence in the G'man.

Further, look at the rival corners Carolina is facing. As noted yesterday, the Falcons finished dead last in pass defense a year ago. Tampa Bay finished 28th and New Orleans checked in just slightly better at 25th in the NFL.

Taking advantage of the unique strengths on their own roster as well as capitalizing on the struggles of divisional opponents - that's sounds more savvy than strange to me.

great point from the article above...

 

Because of Carolina's focus on the running game and, specifically, Newton's extraordinary combination of size and athleticism, opposing defenses must stop the run first when playing the Panthers. That may sound like coach-speak as every fan has heard the cliche of prioritizing run defense, but against Carolina, it is the truth. Far more the truth vs. the Panthers, for example, than recently pass-happy division rivals New Orleans and Atlanta. Safeties are often forced to hold tight in run support rather than offer help to cornerbacks on the perimeter. That puts corners in the unenviable position of covering Carolina's monstrous receivers one on one much of the time. The height, leaping ability and catch radius Benjamin and Funchess offer make them a potentially deadly duo - especially with the strong-armed Newton heaving the ball.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!

      You do know the biggest military base in the US is located just an hour from Raleigh in Fort Bragg right? Military families are family oriented. A hour drive to games is nothing compared to traveling 3 hours to Charlotte.   Cmon man there is nothing happening in Western Carolina other than Charlotte. I only go west for outdoor activities and some nature/mountain views.
