2 of the top 10 play for the Panthers!!

4. QB Cam Newton and WR Steve Smith, Carolina Panthers

Newton was blessed to have a big-play WR that he could depend on as a rookie and Smith filled that bill perfectly, responding with 79 receptions for 1,394 yards and seven TDs. Smith has excellent vertical speed, great concentration and a fearlessness to go over the middle. Newton doesn't hesitate to look his way -- no matter what the coverage. With other options in the passing game, it's not always easy to roll coverages towards Smith and these two now have a great feel for how the play will develop. They are on the same page and their ability to make sight reads after the snap will only increase as they play more together.

8. RBs DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, Panthers

This has been a dynamic Panther run game in recent years and now they have even added a third piece, Mike Tolbert from San Diego, who can make both of them better, working out of the FB position either as a lead blocker or complementary runner. A year ago, Williams and Stewart combined for 1,598 yards and 63 receptions (most of those from Stewart). Williams can give them more outside plays while Stewart is a good power runner between the tackles. With the threat of Smith at WR and the scrambling ability of Newton, it's tough for a defense to overload in the box, which that leaves good running lanes for Williams and Stewart.

Thoughts?

Anderson-Beason-Kuechly

Who's got a better trio than that?

while I agree with you, it will be hard to satisfy the pundits when Kuechly has yet to play a down. And as of yet has not even put on the pads or had contact. As much as it pains me to say it, it is all currently speculation when it comes to how he will perform in live action.

Oh and that is a trio that would be a completely different article.... B)

LOL.

If you don't think SF has one of the best LB corp in all the NFL.....you don't watch the NFL. It ain't just Willis

And I am Luke homer, as my posting pre draft shows.....but we can't count our chickens before the eggs hatch.

No Mr. Loves to Argue, I said that I wouldn't choose any other trio of guys to play linebacker for us in the NFC. Never said anything that remotely came close to "SF doesn't have one of the best LB corp in the NFL".

Please continue to name other teams players that are better than your own teams players for some strange reason.

I'd say San Fran takes that pretty handily.

The strange reason is that some people like to discuss reality.

Oh you think Panthers have the best run blocking? Well you should see the texans!

Please without looking it up, tell me the other linebackers besides Willis. And please tell me how it's fair to compare 3-4 rush LB's to 4-3 OLB's.

Man I forgot that it's a crime to cheer for your own players around here...

      Rookie Mini Camp

      I noticed Canales commented on King having a live arm. Weinke coached him and said he could make any throw an NFL team would ask him to make.  His mechanics and general process of throwing looks a little wonky to me though. Haven’t really zoomed in on that though to say more.     Brazzell, his hands look at least decent to me and of course his speed is there.   Love his balance.  Like a cat, always comes down on his feet. Not his butt.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By strato · Posted

      If Veabel is the father the name, unfortunately…. well you are looking at Mike Jr.    I feel bad for the husband And the kid though. Especially the kid who had no hand in anything and is just a victim.   Most people would develop some pretty big issues around the chaos of finding out nothing you were told about your father was true and you have been calling the wrong guy Dad.  And trusting your mother, well that is over too.     She should be permanently burned as a reporter or rumor reporter. Whatever she I was.    Who can trust anything she says?   Vrabel has outed himself as a total phony. No credibility whatsoever.

      Jaycee Horn Contract Restructured

      By strato · Posted

      My worry is about his concussion. Concussions.  Last thing we need is for him to  be like Jewel. I am looking forward to him benefiting from better players around him in the defense.  Defending QBs under a little more pressure than the last few years.  Better coverage defense in front of him in the middle.
