We can argue that we're better than the Bears and Cardinals going into this season. Bears have even less weapons than we have on offense and their defense will be just as suspect as ours. Cardinals lost Warner and traded away Boldin. Their new Qb, in more times on the field, has yet to look as good as Moore has in very limited time on the field.

And possibly that there is no way the Falcons should be in the top 10, let alone in the top 8.

They have the Falcons ranked 8th. That tells you right away these people have NO idea what they are talking about.

What makes you think the Falcons shouldn't be ranked 8th? Don't get me wrong, by no means am I supportive of the Falcons, just curious why you think they aren't capable of being the 8th best team in the NFL.

The whole "we're small market, we don't get respect" argument needs to end. Indy and New Orleans are smaller markets than Charlotte...

If we are 22nd....they are no where near 8th.

QB that had a good rookie year and then regressed.

RB that has taken a beating the past few seasons....Carolina running game is better.

OL that is not as good as ours.

WR's that are equal to ours.

Defense that is probably equal to ours at best.

I love that they are 8th. Makes it more enjoyable when they once again screw the pooch and miss the playoffs.

For the most part, that's an argument for the Panthers being ranked higher, predicated on the fact that the Falcons are ranked 8th. I see your point and generally agree with most of your comparisons, but I still don't think it's crazy to have them ranked 8th. I'd have them in 9-11 range probably. If a team falls within +/- 3 spots of where I think they should be, then I don't think it's crazy. All these rankings are just a bunch of speculation and opinion - everyone is entitled to their own. If they were ranked 4th or something, then I'd say that's crazy, but 8th is definitely reasonable in my opinion.

8th is a tad high for Atlanta, no doubt, but they're currently better than we are so there's no use in nitpicking on the ranking opinion some lone man gives us. Until we can trounce them and the Saints, and not get upset by Tampa, I don't care what our ranking is. Our only job is to win the division, and right now we are not the kings by any stretch.

Just for fun, let's review some comments from some of last years pre season power rankings shall we (I believe this is an SI ranking)?

http://www.carolinahuddle.com/forum/carolina-panthers/19487-sis-power-rankings-what-a-joke.html

From Gscottnc5:

I don't agree with it at all.

#7 The Saints

#11 Falcons

#18 Panthers

I mean really, the Saints #7. The Panthers are better than 18. Top 12 atleast

*****

From megadeth078:

I know the huddle likes to bitch and moan about being underrated in any and every meaningless power rankings, but I got no problem with this rant. This poo is absolutely ridiculous. What could the Saints possibly have done to warrant being put ahead of not just Carolina but Atlanta also? What are they basing any of this off of, the Saints blowout of the Raiders in the preseason?

*************

From Beaux Berry:

Then again, it's been customary to proclaim the Saints as the best team in the South and a Super Bowl contender. It's not surprising they're doing it again, even after a season in which they went 8-8 with one of the league's best offenses.

From Samuel L Jackson:

Only thing I can say about it is the Saints are not better than the Falcons, and I don't think they're better than us at this point...

The Falcons should be about 8 or 9, we should be around 16-17 at this point, and the Saints should be right behind us...

******

From MadHatter:

Our offense is just as potent as the Falcons and nearly as potent in scoring as the Saints. Even with out DT issues

Our defense is still superior to either of theirs.

The experts will be all over our jocks once we come out of the gates 3-0....beating their sexy Eaglesn Flacons, and Cowboy picks.

f**k the media.

Ahhhhh.....Good Times. :)

      Damn back to 10th. I only caught the last 5 minutes but some of those 3's were horrible lol. In that close of game you can't be launching those many hail mary's when you could be chipping away from the foul line. I guess no one wanted to get in the paint and didn't trust the refs to give them the calls maybe? Gonna watch the highlights to get a better idea of the flow of the game

      I agree.  The Big 12 is a good conference, and he is the swinging dick in that conference.  If Bill Self retires, that sets Kansas back a bit, and Arizona moves even further ahead as the best team in that conference.  Arizona can crush west coast recruiting with USC / UCLA no longer being relevant for LA kids, and Gonzaga not being able to compete moneywise.   If Lloyd comes here, he will be second fiddle to Duke every single year in NIL and recruits.  Not to mention the entire SEC and Big East for kids who want to stay in those regions to play. This is why I keep saying go get Mark Few.  Has proven he can do more with less from an X / O perspective but can also recruit All American players and compete at a high level. He's a god at Gonzaga, but for $9M he'd make the move as that's 4x what he's making at Gonzaga, and makes him the highest paid coach in the country.

      Certainly not going to miss his constant whiffs on sacks and tackles.
