Who gets SB ring first, Peppers or Carolina?

I think we're pretty much dead even with them.

Cutler CAN be great, who knows if he will though. This entire season will finally give us a definitive answer about Moore; we have a better run game, but theirs isn't horrible; they have a better STs by far, our defenses are about equal, and we both are stocked with young WRs who haven't proven themselves yet. The coaches are also both very good. We also both play in tough divisions.

Peppers will never win a Super Bowl. Chicago needs an offensive line and a true number one receiver. Their defensive secondary also needs help, and they won't get everything they need in one offseason. After this year, the cap will be back and it will totally crush the Bears ability to do more than patch holes at league veteran minimums while Cutler and Peppers combine to cripple their salary structure.

Carolina, on the other hand, has two great running backs, a great offensive line, a great receiver (it's a lot easier to find a second receiver than a number one), some of the best linebackers in the league, and a very solid secondary. If Moore gets anywhere close to where he was late last year and a defensive line emerges, the Panthers will be poised to contend in 2010, 2011, and beyond.

Peppers was and is all about the money. He'll never win a championship.

The NFC north seems like its going to beat itself up for the next couple seasons or so....minus detroit lol. I think that in the next 2 seasons or so we should have a pretty darn good shot at a SB run as long as we get that Dline solidified.

Let's compare by which team is the best at certain positions:

O-Line: Carolina, and it's not even close.

D-Line: Chicago on paper, but frankly we don't know how well Brown/Johnson/etc can do.

WRs: Carolina because we actually have a legitimate #1, they don't have anything.

TEs: I feel our TE's do their job perfectly AND Chicago's best TE is about to get traded. So I'll go with Carolina.

RB: Don't even need to argue this, Carolina's 3rd backup is comparable to Chicagos #1.

Secondary: Carolina

Linebackers: Tie

and last but not least-

QUARTERBACK: Tie again. I'd take Matt Moore over Cutler though personally, but Moore hasn't played enough for me to put him over Cutler.

-----

Let's also not forget that while Chicago might be prepping their team to win in 2010, there WILL be a cap reinstated. and when that happens, they will be in big trouble when it comes to cap space. They're digging themselves a deep, very deep hole this offseason, and I can only imagine it will get worse.

Carolina has the better team by far, IMO.

**also, why even root for a team if you don't believe they'll win a title within 5 years? gtfo with that bullshit, you're not a fan if you think that. simple as that.

I think we will have a better shot. we have 4 players over 30 and 2 of them are kickers so we will be really good in a few years and the bears have no WRs and they have a QB that throws more picks then delhomme did. they have an old defence even peppers is 30 all they have is an a good run game.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
