All of a sudden the secondary is a real strength. Paired with an offensive line that is performing well and a rookie tight end that looks like the gem of the draft...

 

Are the Carolina Panthers contenders?

We need some breaks, we need continued health and a couple guys to return from the IR. Then, maybe just then we have a shot. Gonna make the next few months damned interesting.

We were contenders before, but this may increase our odds, if Reid can return to form. I'm a little concerned with playing him at SS. I know our coaches love his size, but his concussion history and having Adams playing center field concern me. I'd much prefer we stick with Adams at SS and put Reid at FS. And yes, I know we aren't as rigid with SS/FS designations, but it still concerns me. Hopefully, my concerns will turn out to be for naught.

Lol wow Igo.

only a casual football/Madden fan  believes one single player can turn a dud team into a contender all of a sudden.

truly not comprehending this sport 

I dont know man,.. I hate fantasy football,... and I havent played madden since 1995 in a barracks in Camp Lejeune,..

Until Cam Newton,.. the Panthers had gone to a sum total of 4 playoffs from 1995 until 2010,.. Since Cam Newton we have gone to 4 since 2011,.. He's doubled our playoff appearances and has us there 50% of his years,.

Id say thats a a dud into a solid contender,...after is one player to get that one more game like the Superbowl,..

I can backtrack and somewhat agree here. But that would only be for the QB position.

A better team will always trump a better position though. Like the Eagles/Vikes of last year for instance.

      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.
