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.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
