Seattle, with Wilson (Rookie), have clinched a playoff spot

Cincy, with Dalton (Soph), have clinched a playoff spot (in back to back seasons)

Indy, with Luck (Rookie), have clinched a playoff spot (coming off a 2-14 season)

Washington, with RG3 (Rookie), can win the division with a win over Dallas on Sunday

Minnesota, with Ponder (Soph) has a win and your in game against the Packers at home.

San Fran, with Kaperneck (Soph) have clinced a playoff spot (although, it's hard to give him a bulk of the credit when Smith played a large role).

Pretty remarkable that potentially six of the 12 playoff teams will be fielding a starting QB in his Rookie or Sophmore season.

I think this sets up well for Teams like Greenbay, Atlanta, Denver, and New England in getting to the conf. champ. and eventually the superbowl. Each of those teams have a good amount of postseason experience from thier QB postion (even if Matty Ice has been Ice cold in the playoffs)

These young players are really making a name for themselves. (helped out by the NFL rules changes over the past few years) BTW someone is missing from this list..I can't quite put my finger on the name but its, its right there in black and white... Oh well it'll come to me.

OBTW hats off to Andy Dalton for leading the Cincinnati Bengals to back to back playoff appearances for the 1st time since the 1980's. That kid has really turned the fortunes of the franchise around. Great pick. Him and Andrew Luck will be the next Brady, Manning rivalry for years to come in the AFC while RG3 and Russell Wilson will fight it out for the top dog in the NFC.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
