overall record exluded, what are your 2010 panther predictions?


Recommended Posts

time to have a little fun...make a prediction about the offense, defense, and special teams.

1. panthers will lead the league in sacks, but won't have a single player that's a league sack leader.

2. jonathan stewart continues his record breaking pace and smashes deangelo williams's 1515 yrd 18 td 3rd season record.

3. the special teams unit shows flashes of improvement and excitement, but still ranks in the bottom half of the league.

1. Matt Moore is in the discussion for MVP along with Peyton Manning and Drew Brees.

2. Double Trouble become the first RB duo to rush for 1,200 yards each.

3. Steve Smith wins the "triple crown" for the 2nd time in his career.

4. Everette Brown makes the fans forget Peppers ever played here.

5. Beason finally shows people across the country he's better than that 49ers LB.

6. Oh yeah and we win the Super Bowl by beating the Ravens.

1. We go 11-5

2. Matt Moore has a year with a QB Rating of > 99.0 again, but for a whole season.

3. Williams & Stewart will both have good years, but only 1 will top 1,000 yards (Williams)

4. We will be better at run defense, but struggle more on sacks (also pass defense will struggle at times b/c of this)

5. Beason will make pro bowl

I'll propose my own later on (in the day), but I call B.S. on #2.

LaFell will win the number two spot.

Edwards will get significant playing time, and when he's in Smitty will move inside to the slot. People on the Huddle will wonder why LaFell is starting over him.

Clausen will start at least one game because Moore's hurt.

Moore will be more focused than ever, and will actually play better than ever in the eyes of the coaching staff, but won't approach his 2009 success and ignorant fans will start a bunch of "Start Clausen" threads by week eight.

Stewart will get more yards than Williams.

Both lines stay healthy all year, and Kalil goes back to the pro-bowl.

Norwood disappoints at linebacker, where he's a liability in coverage. But he makes plays as a pass rusher.

Hardy makes at least one freakishly athletic play that reminds people of Peppers.

Chicago and Cleveland both do unexpectedly well, leading to a chorus of "Fire Hurney" from the ignorant and uninformed.

Fox gets an extension, but the Panthers miss the playoffs at 9-7.

1. We will run one back on either a punt return or kickoff, but not both.

2. We will give up a TD on special teams early, but steadily improve.

3. Smith will get double digit TDs, Jarrett will get his second and third. Barnidge will emerge as a downfield threat reminiscent of Jason Witten.

4. Moore will play pretty well when he doesn't press and try and make something happen. Problem is he is involved in shootouts early.

    • Brian Baldinger on NFL Network (per Tim Weaver on Panthers Wire): "I feel like they're building a monster on that side of the ball right now and I think that's how they have to play," Baldinger stated. "They have to play like they can shut teams down this year. I think it's on them to really guide this team right now." https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2026/05/22/panthers-nfl-offseason-defense-brian-baldinger/90215555007/   So, do you believe him? Today, May 25, I do believe Baldy without any evidence otherwise. I think it's much more likely for our defense to take another marked leap (right into the top 10) than our, basically, bottom-third offense. In my mind, Lee Hunter is a literal and figurative huge addition up front, and right behind him is perhaps our biggest exclamation point on defense: Devin Lloyd. Lloyd's experience and track record of solid production should be the anchor of our defense that should help lift the floor of the entire unit. No more getting gashed on runs, eh? But, as important as Lloyd will be, the most prolific addition to the defense could be Jaelen Phillips.  In my opinion, whether or not the Panthers can demonstrably show that the defensive squad, and perhaps the team in general, is actually ready to assert itself as a perennial postseason presence lies within its ability to credibly rush passers. Phillips was paid handsomely to produce results. Now I know that most of you are probably thinking that sacks are the key. Moreover, I'm not one that is even going to tell you that his pressures are the key (you know, since Phillips's pressure rate has been highlighted over perhaps pedestrian sack numbers). The key, at least in my mind, will be the marked growth of Nic Scourton and/or Princely Umanmielen. I really do believe that they are the understated X factors that the "success" of our season may depend upon.  I'm not worried about the interior (perhaps over-optimistically so). I'm also not too concerned with our corners, as they are quietly one of the best duos in the league. Sure, the safety position has more question marks, Trevon Moering is an exclamation point, and Nick Scott, though less of an exclamation point, still has plenty of experience. With the infusion of youth, size, length and energy, I can see a good mix that will result in positives from the DBs once Ejiro Evero figures everything out. And, we should all know, a credible pass rush provides the defensive backfield with opportunities to shine, and this is but another reason why I believe that Scourton and maybe Umanmielen will be key to taking up residence in the postseason. On an off note, and as a reminder, if the defense is doing its job effectively maintaining momentum with field position, if not outright laying down the pathway with short fields and such, this should make it easier for Bryce Young and the offense to effect points on the board in terms of TDs. Where the defense goes, the offense will have every opportunity to follow.   
    • Its gonna be loud as hell in Montreal tonight.  But don't make any big turnovers or defensive lapses and I like our chances.
