Not a terribly good article. Not saying that because he predicts doom for Carolina, our chances of a playoff run are indeed less than they normally would be due to the lockout, but the guy just makes blanket statements and presents his theories as hard fact. Don't like that style of journalism. But, it is a new article that mentions the Panthers in a boring ass offseason, so it's worth a look.

edit: sorry if this has been linked already, I couldn't find it anywhere on the forums

We only need solid QB play to get in contention. Whether is is Newton, Clausen, Moore or whatever VET we bring in. We have all the other elements. And playing all those young players last season will pay big dividends this season. Our defense has improved and I think with the players we have Rivera's defense will beter than last year.

IMO we don't need a 1st yr phenom, we need a QB that can run our offense.

      Can’t get over this

      It's worth noting that we started playing something that looked like football after going down 17-0 against the Dolphins.  Up to that point we had rushed the ball 3 times and Bryce had two turnovers.   Then we ran it 5 straight times with Rico and he started cracking off some big gains and led to our first touchdown.  Another 37 yards of rushing later, Bryce goes 1 yard complete, incomplete, incomplete to get that field goal before halftime.  Then we committed big time to the run in the second half and played some really nice complimentary football.  The Panthers had stumbled on a formula, and it started with Rico being crazy productive.  Something they only learned because Chubba was injured and Bryce started that game so poorly they were forced to lean on Rico. Fast foward to Dallas, they essentially lean into the same game plan against the Cowboys and I think everyone was surprised by how quickly it started to look complimentary.  In my opinion the productive offense really helped the defense as well.  We played quite solid against a top offense. Finally we make our way to the Jets and Bills, Chubba's return.  You can't say the low scoring affair and return to ineffective football against the Jets was all on Chubba, they were indeed a better defense and so was Buffalo.  But the production difference between the two backs in both games was both visually and statistically obvious.  The bigger picture is the offense took a major step back as well.  They are other moving parts and it's isn't all one thing, BY9>Dalton by a decent margin at this point.   But yeah, Rico's vision and athleticism is just better than Chubba and it jumps at you.

      Shingles…

      By Lame Duck · Posted

      First day in 3 weeks my pain started to dwindle just a tiny bit.  Got switched from hydrocodone to post-shingles pain patches.  My insurance refused to pay for my patches as I’m too young for shingles per them.  I also need a prescription to get shingles shot and insurance also won’t pay for it even thought I just had shingles and in high risk to get it again.
