What to Expect

Some ups and downs for 2012. Clearly the Panthers have some explosive players who will make many a highlight reel. That by itself won’t be enough to make the playoffs, and it’s going to be interesting to see if Carolina goes back to a little more smash mouth football, and a lot of Cam Newton. Regardless, progress looks likely for a team that has plenty of young talent, even if it may not be ready to take advantage of some of the coaching changes in the NFC South.

That article is as close to the way I'm viewing 2012 than any other article I have read.

Agree good article and a fair assessment of the talent pool.My fear is we are stacked for the running game but is our defense good enough to keep it close in a ground and pound game.If we have to rely on the blitz only to get pressure teams like NO will burn us with our lack of a number 2 cb.

I am not sold on our talent pool on defense.If we were in easier division I think we could get in the playoffs.

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.

      We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
