since the huddle seems to be tilting towards full retard at the moment...a decent summary of everything that everyone at one point or another has touched on.

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.

    • I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.
    • I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches. 
    • At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
