4. Carolina Panthers - Picking a team that went 7-8-1 to finish last in its division might not seem like such a big stretch, but it does raise a few eyebrows when that club also happens to be the two-time defending NFC South champion. Behold the enigma that is the Carolina Panthers. No matter how impressive their December rally was, I can’t get past how shoddy a team the Panthers were for most of last season. When you mix in their ho-hum free agency work (Ted Ginn,Michael Oher, and Jonathan Martin?) and a puzzling top of the draft (Shaq Thompson and trading up for Devin Funchess?), it's really hard to view Carolina as a playoff contender.

I say with certainty that Carolina will not finish last I the South.

I was having deja vu reading that excerpt, then clicked the link and it's from May. I knew I had heard it before.

Meh, another uneducated opinion. Won't get too worked up about it.

I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul Don Banks.

LOL did they not see the noodle arm that is Drew Brees last season?

I love it.  Historically, we're not good front runners.  We always seem to do our best when no one expects us to do anything.  How often does a back to back division champ with virtually no significant personnel losses get to enjoy an underdog role?  It's unheard of.

Same poo different year.  Luckily, one more division title this year should shut the media up.

Keep sleeping on the Panthers, fool!

Don Banks is usually not the dumb on over at SI.

That being said he doesn't follow the small markets nearly that close.... I feel better about our year because of this.
