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:

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
