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.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
