Former Redskins coach Joe Gibbs believes Panthers have a shot at 16-0

"They will have a chance for this reason: they are not winning it by skill plays or getting lucky on stuff," the Hall of Fame NFL coach and current Sprint Cup team owner said on Thursday during a NASCAR media event in Las Vegas.

"They are pounding people. Sometimes, when they don’t play as well, they beat you up. They have a good defense. Defense always leads you. They’ve got a quarterback making all kinds of plays. I think they are going to be hard to beat."

Here and there you hear media types talking about the Panthers, and the ones that have watched all the games, they know, you can hear it in their voice. They know this is  just one of those teams that has it. Even over the Seattle team from 2 years ago. Maybe over the '09 Saints. Nah, that was a done deal... Oh yeah, they know this team is special and is winning Superbowl 50.

This was a fun read for me given that the only other football team I've ever been remotely this crazy about was the Redskins under Gibbs from 87 - 92.  Gibbs was such an awesome head coach and had my deep respect.  I appreciate his words about this year's Panthers.  It means a lot coming from him.  I appreciate too his honesty, not pretending that he's now a Panthers' fan, but still obviously deeply respecting them as an organization and a team.

He said a nice thing about my Panthers, Thanks.

You'll always be just another Foreskin to me.

Learn to separate things, bro. When a HOF coach says he believes a team is going undefeated, it has some merit worth appreciating. 

ffs.

certain people in sports, unique to us all, strike us in such a way that you just don't care for them or what they have to say.  (Tom Brady, Roger Godell, Bud Selig, Chris Burman) My use of "hate" is hyperbole and sports related at most.  Still doesn't change my opinion.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
