6) Carolina Panthers

A ballhawk tied for the league lead with four interceptions, second-round cornerback Donte Jackson is NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger's early choice for Defensive Rookie of the Year. First-round wideout D.J. Moore has flashed Percy Harvin-like power and elusiveness with the ball in his hands, generating big plays as a receiver as well as a runner. His recent ascension to the starting lineup has allowed Assistant Coach of the Year candidate Norv Turner to dip into his bag of tricks, bedeviling defenses with end-arounds, double-reverses and sweeps. Fourth-round tight end Ian Thomas started three games in place of Greg Olsen and may be the future at the position in Charlotte.

I'm sorry this just kills me that we drafted a WR in the first round for gimmick plays.

It's how we used Steve Smith until he developed into a well-rounded receiver.

    Yeah, because everyone knows gimmick yards don't really count. I mean, c'mon man. I bet if there were awards for how you move the ball down the field, you'd be all over this.

We drafted a raw WR for YAC potential and the ability to improve. We are using him in the ways he is ready to contribute in the interim and there is nothing wrong with that.

Because that’s the only thing Moore will ever be able to do... 

trade him for a sack of potatoes

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
