Seems to me that the advantage of posting in a forum where you have to have 5000 posts before you can contribute is that you automatically keep the new trolls and newbies out of the conversation. Interestingly though, no threads of any substance have even been attempted. So let me get the party started with a few questions.

It is early of course but lets make a few predictions. In a few months we can look back and see who actually knows what they are talking about,

Which of our DTs which start at the undertackle assuming Edwards starts at the nose.

Does Martin start at FS or will one of the new guys take over??

Who is listed starter at tailback? Stewart or Williams??

Regarding the schemes.....

Will we come out in the pistol formation and continue what we did last year or was that a function of doing the best we could with no off-season and installing on the run? In other words with more time to develop and implement the scheme will we try more traditional pocket passing, or continue the spread option scheme we ran last year which is what opponents will be preparing for. Or we will do something new like run a triple option or something else?? Isn't Chud a master innovator?? How many times will be put Tolbert, Williams, and Stewart in the backfield at the same time??

Last year we ran mostly a cover 2 bland scheme on defense. Obviously this year will be different and with everyone coming back we should be better. But will be go with a more attacking style with mostly man coverage or a fire zone coverage? Will we blitz on just about every play or only occasionally. Will we use more misdirection with the line or mostly count on blitzes from the linebackers to get pressure?

What are the opinions about what we will do from those who have been around a while?????

My opinion???

Neblett will start at undertackle

Nakamura will be free safety

Williams will start at tailback but Stewart will play as much or more than Williams.

They will line up all three backs on 20% of running plays and rarely on passing plays.

We will use a primary man coverage system and use zone on blitzing downs. We will blitz someone on most downs.

We will use a spread option system most of the time. We will use more 3 and 4 wide sets with an empty backfield more often this year given Newton's better defensive reading of the secondary.

Although I never comment on it, been doing this since the beginning of the Huddle. Most have no freaking clue as to what they are talking about, and no one can truely predict what will happen. What's funny is when a person guesses right on one prediction, they think they are the next Nostradamus. As the old saying goes, even a blind squirrel...

My biggest concern: If our offense is extremly productive again, our offensive coordinator will be offered a head coaching job somewhere next season. The Panthers have always had a mediocre offense at best. It's really exciting to see an exciting and productive offense. And with Cam's talent, we need one. Without our OC, or one just as talented and creative, not only will this team be taking a step backwards, but it would also hinder Cam's development and limit his potential derived from his talent.

My opinion anyway.

I'm really not good at this but I wanted to offer my opinion.

As for DT, I have no idea.

I see Martin starting at FS.

I agree that Williams will start and he will be about 50/50 with Stewart.

The other two concerns? I have no idea.

I actually find the RB situation the most interesting. I am going to assume they are going to be catching a few passes as well and it makes me wonder if they will put someone in there for that purpose on certain plays or if they trust our RB's equally.

Just for reference I'm really bad at any real football talk.

What I wonder is whether Chud will install a bunch of new things this year to avoid teams being able to gameplan against what we did last year since they will be watching film. He really had to install the offense on the fly and had to cater things to Cam's level of understanding with no offseason. The hope is that he can be even more creative this year given they have more time to install the offense and players have a better understanding of what he wants to do.

As for getting a head coach job, it is hard to say. He really may be a great OC but that doesn't instantly make him a good head coach.

I'm sure Chud will have some new wrinkles. The good thing is opposing defenses will have to game plan for all the things the Panthers did successfully last year when they doubled their point production from 2010. Add in the new wrinkles plus do everything they did last year even better and we'll be giving opposing Defensive Coordinators ulcers every week.

I suspect at times the numbers wont be as impressive as 2011 due to protecting Cam and using our 3 headed running attack. Plus our defense should do a better job holding onto leads and we wont be scrambling to win.

Might not look as pretty, but the win column should look better this year. Bottom line, just win baby.

This thread is so popular. :P

I didn't realize that asking the supposed huddle elders to actually talk football would be so difficult or apparently boring. I guess I was mistaken when I thought this was a football forum. If I wanted a popular thread I need boob pictures

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.

      They will still be a playoff team but they aren't contenders anymore IMO. They won't be able to spend like they have when they went to a SB and proved he couldn't carry a win at that level with a really good team around him. Now he is going to have to do it with less to spend around him. They just locked in to being a playoff bound team that's going to be a known speed bump for whoever will represent the NFC in the SB.

      Hmm. I think he'll live up to it. Last year, about half of his team was on IR it seems, at one time or another. Year before, Super Bowl appearance. Year before that, playoff run after being third on the depth chart and being pressed into service. Is he one of the greatest in the game right now? Nope. No chance of that. Is he in the top 10 going into next season? Pretty good chance of that.  Would 20 or more teams in this league love to have the guy as their starting QB. Most likely so. He's a good QB who can implement his coach's game plan to a T and has both the confidence of and confidence in his teammates. That'll take you a long way in this league if you've got the right cast around you, and he does.
