Why the Carolina Panthers are Super Bowl contenders (David Newton)

Reason to be excited: As mentioned above, the defense has played well without its quarterback. The players who have stepped up while Kuechly has been out have gotten better. Josh Norman has emerged as one of the elite cornerbacks in the league. He was the NFC’s defensive player of the month in September, and he started October off with a pair of interceptions -- one returned for a touchdown. He can shut down the opponent’s top receiver; he did it twice last season against Atlanta’s Julio Jones. The Falcons also are 4-0 and will be a factor for the Panthers in the NFC South. But remember, Rivera’s first four teams have played their best down the stretch. Carolina’s record over the last six games since 2011 is a combined 18-6.

Be nice guys, you know he's waiting for someone to post it here, so that he can read the comments.

Be sure to make him feel really welcome!

Hey David, one feel good story doesn't make up for your general inadequacies as a reporter in general. In fact, keep writing shitty articles about us. We like those better

and David, meet my friends, the Huddle is tight, and once u piss us off, you're pretty much done. Just ask your boy Peter King

P.S. I started that last sentence with the word and on purpose. Grammatically speaking, It's basically on par with your overall football knowledge.

Man, im just so torn, I absolutely think we are playoff contenders but I dont think we are quite at SB contenders yet, but we are SO close its not even funny.. We just arent quite at the level yet of complete dominance, we dont quite have that dominating X factor that true SB contenders have.. I watch teams like the Packers and Patriots and even the Broncos play and they are just so dominant that it's inconceivable how good they are and how easy they make it look. 

Now what do all those teams have in common?! Franchise QBs that have been in the league a VERY long time. I think it will be a couple more seasons or so until we are at Pats/Packers level of just being so good that frankly when you hear people pick us as SB favorites we as fans say "so what else is new?"

David Newton lost all relevancy when he screwed up LDE and RDE for Charles Johnson and saying CJ was moving to RDE to play against the less athletic Right Tackles on the O-Lines.

Still haven't seen an explanation for that one, Dave.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
