Panthers A Sleeping Giant (Article)

If some one had predicted a year ago that the New York Giants would win Super Bowl XLVI, it would be fair to have classified such a prediction as bold. While it would probably be a bit more than bold to say the 2012 Carolina Panthers will do the same, it's anything but impossible. One thing is clear. From the coaches, to the quarterback, to the very graphics of the logo itself; the times they are a changin' in Carolina. The question is whether or not they can contend anytime soon. The answer is: perhaps a lot sooner than people think. For the purposes of licking our post-Super Bowl wounds and biding our time until September, let the wild conjecture on the Panthers 2012 NFL season begin with these few, but certainly audacious possibilities..

    • 3 years 81.25m with 45m guaranteed (20m in 2018 hits March 15th of 2027)  Will either be cut or extended in the 2028 off-season. 
    • Reveal- Until three weeks before his draft, I wanted Simmons >> Brown. I hate to say I didn't see his greatest flaw the first time, upon reviewing more clips and lucky listening to better scout. Simmons was shown not to enjoy contact/hitting. WHich is crazy given he played a joker type of LB and had tons of tacks and big plays. But it was there hidden in the slow mo and people that played the game, he didn't enjoy hitting. Given that's a huge part of defenders job, I dropped him from want/need list and lucky for everyone dbrown was there to be picked.  Seems he's found a role or lane he's comfy in and willing to do and it does fit him once you disregard his draft status. Who knows, he maybe the NB for evero this year. He can still become a legit starter.  
    • Joly has the one thing our current TE groups does not, really, really good hands.  Tremble has gotten better at catching, but will never have 'natural' hands.  Evans is a blocking TE that has okay hands. A passing game threat is what we thought we were getting when drafting Sanders, but have found out otherwise.  With all the TEs we have drafted over the recent years, none of them have been considered a true weapon.  That needs to change. Blocking TEs are a dime a dozen and can be had on the cheap.  The miscalculation of the front office, folly if you will, is the idea of the Swiss Army knife TE, the guy that can do everything.  It takes a real gem to find a TE that does everything and do it well, so our jack of all trades ends up elite at nothing especially the one area where we (the fans) think the weak link is--a receiving threat.
