Our biggest "?" for this season. From a positional perspective.

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

What does everyone think our biggest question mark going into the 2010 season is? That is, which position will have to step up and exceed expectations for our team to be as successful as we hope them to be?

[Dpantherman]

One man's opinion--the D-line concern has been WAY overblown...you heard it here. they will exceed expectations (which are at 0)

[Lt Pinkerton]

Wide Receiver and Defensive End.

[holderoftruth]

Based on your question, which position needs to step up, I'll go with D-line.

[thefuzz]

D Line without a doubt.

[Dpantherman]

I will eat crow if im wrong, but i will rub it in all of your faces if Im right. someone keep this thread in the back of their mind

[mick eye]

I am with Dpanther here. I will cosign this and also say the DLINE will exceed the ridiculously low expectations of many Huddlers. Ron Meeks's scheme is fully entrenched and the young guys have a year in the system improvement is inevitable. GRANTED we likely won't be too strong against the run but i think we will get pressure on the QB and our secondary and linebackers will make plays.

[Brooklyn Bully]

WR and it's no contest. We know who our DEs are and that's who they'll be for the entire season. If they do great, great. If they suck, it'll suck. We know who our DTs are as they were here last season. If they don't step up we'll get run over and over and over.

We know nothing about our WRs other than Smitty. Can LaFell play? Can he be a #2? Will Jarrett even be here? Can all the other scrubs even take an ounce of pressure off Smitty? What if teams zero in on Double Trouble and take Smitty out of the game? Then what? Yeah...our WR core has a great chance of sucking BIG TIME this season. I feel so bad for Smith. He wanted a big time WR in here and we gave him LaFell and a guy who hasn't played WR since high school.

Who clicked RB??

[panthers4life27]

def DT, 2nd reciever, and maybe safety...thats about it

[SCMunnerlyn1]

i took secondary .. based on the no proven depth factor at safety and corner

[John_Sutter]

def DT, 2nd reciever, and maybe safety...thats about it

Explain to me how the Safety situation is questionable.

[SCMunnerlyn1]

Explain to me how the Safety situation is questionable.

godfrey moves to strong from free... martin starts .. neither very expereinced and if one gets hurt .. francisco is terrible and we are stuck with unprovern rookies .. thus confirming your explanation in a completely unassholified manner unlike most folks are doing this week

[top dawg]

As bad as I wanna say QB, I think it's the D-line. At QB, I am thinking that we'll be surprisingly fine either way.

The secondary is 2nd on my list.
