cough cough bullchit!

Two members of the Carolina Panthers were revealed among the NFL Network’s The Top 100: Players of 2012 Wednesday. Quarterback Cam Newton came in at No. 40, while wide receiver Steve Smith landed at No. 35.

The Panthers finished with a 6-10 record last season despite Newton breaking multiple NFL records for rookie passers and throwing for 4,051 yards and Smith rejuvenating his career with 79 catches and 1,394 yards receiving.

The duo helped Carolina improve from a 2-14 2010 season by four games and have given Panthers’ fans much hope for a potential playoff run in 2012.

But these hopes are too much, too quick. The quick success by Newton and the 840-yard improvement from 2010 to 2011 by Smith are a pipe dream that fans have grasped on to and won’t release.

A number of GMs feel he already deserves being included among the best and certainly better than Matty "ice cold".

This is the Bleacher report. A site that seem to be runned by wanna-be sports writers. Sad thing is, their ability to be objective leaves much to be desired. It seems all they want is attention and they get it by towing the line they feel others want to read.

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
