here would be my predicted 53 man roster. Look at every position and ask yourself...is this a Super Bowl roster? Note: I'm going to predict this assuming that Peppers will remain a Panther, but that he'll hold out indefinitely. Starters are bolded:

QB: Jake Delhomme, Josh McCown, Matt Moore

RB: DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart, Mike Goodson ®

FB: Brad Hoover, Tony Fiammetta ®

WR: Steve Smith, Muhsin Muhammad, Dwayne Jarrett, Jason Carter, Ryne Robinson

OL: Jordan Gross, Travelle Wharton, Ryan Kalil, Keydrick Vincent, Jeff Otah, Duke Robinson ®, Geoff Schwartz, Mackenzy Bernadeau, Gerald Cadogan ®

TE: Jeff King, Dante Rosario, Gary Barnidge

DL: Everette Brown ®, Charles Johnson, Ma'ake Kemoeatu, Damione Lewis, Tyler Brayton, Corvey Irvin ®, Hilee Taylor, Nick Hayden

LB: Jon Beason, Thomas Davis, Na'il Diggs, Dan Connor, James Anderson, Landon Johnson, Anthony Heygood ®

S: Chris Harris, Charles Godfrey, Nate Salley, Quinton Teal

CB: Chris Gamble, Richard Marshall, C.J. Wilson, Dante Wesley, Sherrod Martin ®

K: John Kasay, Rhys Lloyd

P: Jason Baker

LS: J.J. Jansen

If Peppers returns, say goodbye to Nick Hayden.

I agree. Injuries on either line will kill us. And I still don't like Brayton or Charles Johnson as a starter. They're backup-quality.

Ehh Brayton really started to turn it up the last handful of games last season.

He's no pro-bowler, but I think he can be a starter.

Really more worried about the O-line than the Dline.

Things could get really discombobulated (fug I spelled that right on the first try) if we lose one of those guys for the season.

*edit*

Actually tackle is our biggest weak spot, lose Gross or Otah and things start getting sketchy, ESPECIALLY gross, thats like losing two starters (Wharton is back-up LT).

Can we discuss other possible rosters or just discuss our chances given this roster?

Discuss other possibilities if you like. This one makes the most sense to me based off the number of players the Panthers usually carry at each position. It's very possible that Heygood and Cadogan won't make the team though.

Nah, not enough of a pass rush without Peppers and alot really depends if your secondary has turned it around from having an abysmal year.

If they can get a few more INTs, then I say your close... still a handful of teams with more overall talent in the NFC.

I agree, but the regular starters on the defensive line will get their asses handed to them by the regular starters on the offensive line this year. Not sure if any other Panthers roster throughout history could say such a thing.

Stopping the run could be a headache for sure.

I think we actually have one the faster lines we have had tho.

Getting either A) ahead early and by a decent bit or B) 3rd and 8+ will be critical.

I forgot to add that the secondary still looks sketch. The defense as a whole is extremely weak other than the linebackers.

Mildly comfortable with the secondary.

I think Martin can be a player, and Gamble/Marshall should excel in this new scheme.

We are just use to having exceptional CB depth.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By LegioX · Posted

      Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
