6) Carolina Panthers: Cam Newton, Jonathan Stewart & Greg Olsen

Preseason rank: No. 9

Remember when everyone buried Carolina after the Kelvin Benjamin injury? No slight to Stewart or Olsen, who've picked up the slack, but Cam's got this team at 7-0 with Ted Ginn Jr. and Philly Brown as his starting WRs. Numbers be damned: He's only behind Brady in the MVP race.

Don't really have a problem with our ranking, but GB at #2 is a joke.  Yea, Aaron Rodgers but Lacy and Cobb have been hot garbage.

Not sure I agree with the Packers being ranked that high. Only reason I can think for them being rated that high is name value, because even with Rodgers play this season, Lacy and Cobb have both been fairly pedestrian. When you look at the other triplets: Palmer is having a career year, CJ2K looks revived, and Fitzgerald is on pace for a career year; Dalton is having a big year, Gio is running well, and AJ Green is a stud; and Ryan is playing well, Freeman leads the league in rushing, and Julio is having a huge year. All three teams triplets should be ranked ahead of the Packers. And an argument could be made for our triplets to be ranked ahead of them on the basis that Cam v Rodgers is even, but Stewart and Olsen v Lacy and Cobb comes out in our favor. 

For me, it should be 1. Pats, 2. Cards, 3. Bengals, 4. Falcons, 5. Panthers, 6. Packers.

    • No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.    
    • It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
