Week 4 Power Rankings

[Arroz con Panther]

Didn't see a thread started, so I figured I would post what I've seen.  Looks like we're starting to get some recognition at least.

Yahoo:

11. Carolina Panthers (3-0, LW: 19)

It has been pointed out repeatedly that the Panthers have probably the worst crew of receivers in the NFL. So shouldn't we be giving Cam Newton some credit right about now?

NFL.com:

RANK 10

3-0 PANTHERS

4 

 

Gut-check win for the Panthers, who looked like a group that didn't respect the other team's quarterback early on -- it became apparent, though, that Luke McCown came to play (as noted below). In other news, Cam Newton continues to succeed without much help on his side of the ball. If Carolina takes care of business in Tampa this week, Ron Rivera's club will be undefeated with a chance to get healthier during a Week 5 bye.

ESPN:

9

Panthers 3-0

5 Last Week: 14

Cam Newton has accounted for all seven of the Panthers' offensive touchdowns this season, passing for five scores and rushing for two.

USA Today:

Carolina Panthers

3-0

Cam Newton may not be old enough to get any calls, but 33-year-old Jared Allen has earned as many holding flags as he wants. 

PFF:

10. Carolina Panthers

Only two cornerbacks have been targeted 20 or more times and have yet to allow a pass for more than 16 yards. Those two are Josh Norman and Bene Benwikere.

CBS Sports:

7

Cam Newton is playing at such a high level right now. He is putting this team on his back.

CBS has us at 7. Worst of the undefeated teams, and one behind the 2-1 Steelers.

Cam gaining a lot of attention, deservedly so. Like I've said before, he'll be a top-three MVP candidate if we finish with a 11-12 win season.

Actually, they have us ahead of Falcons, which if we are only going to be ahead of one 3-0 team, I'd want it to be them.

Dont know how I missed that lol

Oh well.

Love the stat about Benwikere and Norman. I kinda hope we don't get the credit we deserve though. It makes victory that much better.

Just keep winning and we'll keep climbing up in the meaningless power rankings! ha, but in all seriousness, seems pretty accurate to me at this point.

no poo, he damn sure deserves it if we win that many games with this poo offense.

Squeaking by against the awesome foes we have faced so far, gives me far less reason to want to crow about rankings.  As a Panther fan, I am certainly glad we are 3-0.  As a football fan, I could just as easily see us finishing .500.  Several areas of concern, but I guess they don't call em Cardiac Cats for nothing.  Oline is pass protecting better and that has given the offense a real boost.  The Dline needs to wake up.  Hoping JA is the alarm clock we have been waiting on.
