Most ProBowlers on current roster

[KB_fan]

Forgive me if this has already been posted.  

Panthers top the list with 13... And this is even after we lost 2 (Stew and Norwell)

I think the 13 players are as follows:

Cam, Ryan, Greg, Trai, Matt

Pep, Luke, TD, KK, Poe, Adams

Gano, JJ

*UPDATED*:. CJ Anderson makes 14!

I know it's sarcasm. But seriously?

Actually, I think this pretty much signals all in. We've invested a lot in some serious talent. With this roster and good health, we SHOULD be serious Superbowl contenders. Hope we will. (Yes, of course we have holes, but so does every team.)

Want to see Pep, TD, Ryan, Greg, Cam and Luke win a ring together. That's a pretty awesome group of guys / players that most teams don't get to enjoy on the field all together. Quite an era of Panthers football. Let's close it out with a bang!

And I also really want to see the lack of consecutive winning seasons smashed. Doing it with a Lombardi would be awesome.

and yet we are still picked last in the NFCS and to miss the playoffs by sports media pundits this season....#smh

I demand a recount on Matt Kalil. I think aliens snatched him and left what we have now.

most of these guys have been with us since our Super Bowl run.

The reason we haven't been back is our secondary.  

 

You can blame Gettleman for not signing Josh or getting better free agents, or you can blame Hurney for creating the cap mess that led to the decisions made by Gettleman.

 

Either way, despite the incredible talent we have assembled, the secondary is our weakness, and we play in the worst division for that situation.  

Amazingly we went to the playoffs last year.  Now, changes have been made again in the secondary.  There is something to hope for.

My concern is can the secondary come together this year before we lose so many of the players mentioned in the op.

Yup. secondary, WRs and to some extent Oline have all held the team back. We've pretty much been blowing up our secondary every year, and WR corps too.

On Oline there's been some lack of investment. Bad luck (Oher's concussion), Wishful thinking (Bell, Remmers) and the problem of too many other holes to allow us to keep and pay talented Oline (Gross, Norwell), exacerbated by the league-wide problem of not enough talent.

But one other big thing probably held us back too, that's not now an issue.  Shula. Our offense was way too stale last 2 seasons. I'm hopeful that the switch to Norv will bring good things!

I don't let what others say bother me, especially before TC. But I do understand why they're saying that. 1) Teams don't typically do well the 1st year after a new owner comes in and 2) we have a history of following a winning season with a losing season no matter who is on the team, whether because of attitude, injuries, or whatever, doesn't matter. Hell, if we had 53 probowlers we'd still be predicted to miss the playoffs just because of those 2 points.

So the Panthers have the opportunity to prove everyone wrong.

Not sure what you are watching. I've only seen 1st or second in the NFCS.
