So far I've been wrong about Burns. Prior to the draft I thought he was currently too thin to make an immediate impact and greatly benefited from the talent on that FSU defense. But the kid has an insane motor, violent hands, incredible bend and ridiculous speed. If this carries over to the regular season I'll gladly eat crow all of the way to the NFL Honors.

"violent hands" is a hell of a band name.

You don’t get comeback for missing like three games do you?

Plus Bell shouldnt get it imo since he held out, he could've played last year but he sat out.  He's not coming back from anything other than crying about his contract from his couch

Another interesting takeaway from the article: 18 different coaches got at least 1 vote for coach of the year. Notably missing from that list? Rivera. Not saying I expect him to win it, but when over half of the coaches have at least one vote, it is a little odd that 2x coach of the year Rivera doesn't even merit one. Probably a reflection of the fact that not many people expect a big year from us.

There’s no requirement of a minimum missed games, plus everyone knew he was hobbled for more than half the season. And if Bell can get a buncha votes when he simply decided not to play because of money, I think Cam is definitely deserving...

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

      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.
