Good article. 1 oversight, not realizing Ron Edwards is out for the season. Other than that, pretty fair opinions.

To be honest, the signing of Ron Edwards seemed more like a last-minute response to a lack of bodies at the defensive tackle spot. Hardly an elite player, but you can put him on the field and he won’t let you down. Unfortunately for the Panthers, Edwards is already out for the season with a torn triceps.
They got the Edwards part right.

Maybe it was edited in after you made your post?

edit: beaten like a government mule :(

sounds about right.. this team is going to have it's growing pains.. a lot to look forward to though..

if anything, I think they overlooked our DT play.. I'm feeling really good about Irving, Fua, and especially McClain.. Neblett is in his 2nd year and had a few good plays in the preseason game..

we'll see though, entirely too early to tell..

As the old guard here knows, I am quite the optimist as far as the Panthers are concerned but I truly believe that Newton is the X factor that nobody can prepare for or predict. One SEC head coach described him as an "act of God". :Angel_anim:

IF we have even half decent QB play this team will be a beast! It already looks like Rivera is living up to his "defensive guru" moniker (so far)and Chud is just what we've been looking for here for so many years, offensive creativity.

I would like all the naysayers to remember 1996.

Very honest and objective article. Very positive. That X factor could push us over the top, maybe even continue the NFC South tradition, worst to first. :out:

    • they bought an OL for the prized undersized with the savings   Couldnt even put it back into the defense. But he probably wouldn’t be leading the league in sacks if we had kept him.
    • "missed opportunity" at hiring a real NFL HC.. Hes one of the few young coaching members that has modern NFL figured out. I even think he could be GM, but think he does want too. I know he was beyond pissed when the Titans GM traded AJ brown for draft pick(2nd???). He's knows ball and can relate. He's knows what a good NFL looks like and how they act/practice. Dave is still figuring out many things and Evero handles 100% of the D side.....Vrabel does all three....  
    • Dave Canales just feels like a guy marking time. He’s not a “bust your ass and chase perfection” Landry type, and he’s not a “you’re a good man, now let’s find your best self” Rivera type either. He doesn’t inspire greatness, but he doesn’t tolerate outright laziness either. He’s basically football’s version of middle management, competent, steady, and fine at keeping things from collapsing, but not the kind of leader who changes a culture or puts a team on his back. You get the sense ownership hired him to keep the lights on while they figure out what’s next. In short, he’s not the problem… but he’s never going to be the solution either.
