Are the Carolina Panthers now a Superbowl Contender?

Take off the homer glasses, and think about where we rank in the NFC, and take a look at our division...those are the only things that matter.

 

Real teams in the NFC:

Rams, Falcons, Saints, Eagles, Panthers, Vikings?

Secondary teams in the NFC:

Skins, Seahawks, Packers, Bucs, Bears?

If I'm being honest with myself, we are likely in the 3-5 range as far as talent...with Minny and the Rams above us, and possibly the Saints and Falcons right there with them.

Now, we do have some really good players coming back from injury/suspension, and I do think that our passing game will continue to get better, however this is an early bye, and the offensive line still is a major worry for me.

I think we have a shot (any given Sunday blah blah blah), but I doubt we will be the betting favorites in any playoff game, save a crazy run through the rest of the season.

Falcons have zero chance with the state of their defense.

Reid, Bradburry, Donte Jackson. i close my eyes and imagine going to a formal ball with them and they all dip me together at once

Pretty accurate analysis.

I wonder what the AInts and Failcons are thinking right now.

That he is ok and that they didn't want any of the distraction that probably will come with him. Don't get me wrong he is better than CJ but I don't think he was worth what baggage might come with him. He is definitely not a top 10 safety that everyone is thinking he is. We are just happy we are not trotting CJ back out there next Sunday.

Eric Reid is not Earl Thomas. He lost his starting job last year because he was bad. Y’all need to chill on the overreactions. He made the pro bowl playing behind one of the greatest front 7s of all time like how Coleman was a star for one year. He’s better than Jones for sure but he isn’t some superstar that is all of sudden gonna change games.

And what do we have again?

      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.
