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:

      Blowout incoming and the wheels fall off. Parsons will have multiple sacks, prob a FF. Media immediately starts saying the Bryce era is over

      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.
