Panthers at Cardinals. Cam Newton's Debut.

Quote(all the code stuff doesn't work at my office)

Coaches who had been in pro football for decades had never seen anything like it. Players who had been in the NFL for years were served notice. NFL history surely hadn’t recorded the likes of Cam Newton’s professional debut, when he threw for 422 yards and scored three total touchdowns (two passing, one rushing).

I don't think any more of our games will be in the ranking. This one was because of a phenomenal first game, and smitty showing he still has it.

No one thinks of Panthers-Cardinals when they look back at the 2011 season.

Pisses me off that this team was a 10 win team, but instead was 6 win team.

considering where we were last year and tat it was under such a tough/short offseason, new coaching staff, rookie QB, and the number of injuries as well as easily correctable fixes on special teams with personnel, this makes me happy...it's just the beginning.

All those mentioned contributed to losing close games. Experience and health will contribute to winning those close games.

Vikes game we should have won, with those BS offensive holding calls and PI calls, and then the missed FG.

Cards game also, giving up a TD on ST,

Bears game, giving up a ST TD and then missing 2 FG's and we loss by 5,

Packers, was a total team meltdown, we had those fools on the ropes.

Falcons and Lions we had big leads and loss them.

We were a whole lot better than 6-10, hopefully we find a way to close out games, and with a better ST play, and a healthy DEF, I'm looking forward to us winning the DIV and making a playoff run.

Green Bay game should be up there as well. Man, what could have been if Smitty didn't fumble that ball trying to get an extra yard.

Man, I remember before the game, I was like, "I'm just hoping they can keep it within 30." This was the Super Bowl champions we were talking about with the best quarterback and offense in the game. Our rookie quarterback was entering only his second regular season game. Our stud linebacker went on IR.

Yet somehow, someway, we kept the score close throughout despite 3 interceptions by Cam and even had a 13 point lead at some point (should have been 21 - dumb redzone offense). I have no idea how we did it.

people also forget that just the week before the packers had beaten the Saints* 42 - 34. i thought there was no way we were going to be able to compete with that.

I was at that game. My first Panther game ever.

Even though we lost it was incredible and I didn't even know what to think the whole car ride home back to Cali except that we finally have a franchise QB.

      What to Consider when you Draft in Round 1

      By Growl · Posted

      fans view “box safety” with the same disdain they have when they hear “game manager” QB.   but there’s a reason most 1st round safeties are “box safeties”-it’s a much longer list of requisite skills to be a good box safety than it is to be a guy whose only real responsibility is to not get beat over the top. Fans crave the ed reed type and as someone who has never been able to enjoy this franchise having a guy like that, I get the enthusiasm-but I’m not really prepared to spend a first round pick on a free safety. If it happens it’ll be fun, it’ll address a need with a good player and that’s well and good. But those guys end up walking after their first contract because their pedigree usually outpaces what their teams feel like they’re adding to their overall win total.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By Basbear · Posted

      Its criminal that the upcoming season is mainly in the tiny hands of BY.  I still member the time I did a full turn, if you member his first off-season from that Panthers all-time worst team....... Answering questions at his first presser, he goes along the lines " I didn't do nothing, no weight room or throwing" " I needed to get away". I was fully out with him, the guy didn't even try to improve his football mind, body, strength, in the biggest joke of panther football. I could not believe it, what a leader or dare say "point guard"(lols @ NBA point guards as a ref)

      I view FS almost as the NT of the secondary. Oftentimes the true measure of his impact isn't necessarily in the plays that he makes but what he allows you to do with the rest of your defense to allow them to make plays. When you have that elite true sideline to sideline FS safety blanket over the top of the defense it allows you to be a lot more aggressive with everyone else. Where as when you have a Nick Scott as your last line of defense you gotta be mindful to not have to rely too heavily on that.
