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...

      Unc Basketball thread

      By toldozer · Posted

      Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By Davidson Deac II · Posted

      His third year was worse than Bryce's third year, significantly so.  And he had a game where he threw for 120 yards, two inteceptions, and had a fumble.  He had multiple games where he threw for more int's than td's.
