Lots of love for Carolina. 5 guys in the top 36 overall, 4 in the top 25. But this is a little interesting.

9. Julius Peppers, DE, Carolina Panthers: The best defensive end in the game, Peppers was the force behind the Panthers' magical '08 season. Still playing his very best, he's one of the rare defensive players that can singlehandedly will a team to victory. With a new defensive coordinator, Carolina needs him in camp sooner rather than later. That deal needs to get done.

Also- Beason the #1 LB(20th overall)

Gross #1 OL

D will #3 RB

Smitty #3 WR

Pep #2 4-3DE

Jake did not make the top 100.

The only thing I didn't like is TD not being up there with some of the LBs I saw on the list, but that's about the only gripe. I feel the rest are very well palced an I do appreciate that he put Beason at the top of the LBs (one spot above Willis).

Apples vs Oranges. Clady is best young Pass Blocking LT and Otah is best young Run Blocking LT. And Clady really has not had much of a chance to show off his run blocking ability. We will see what he has this year as DEN goes to a more run oriented offense. DEN secretly had the best O Line (statistically anyways) in football last year.

I don't remember but I think the Cats did get to Cutler a couple of times in that game which was a rarity for that OL to allow. Either way, I wouldn't knock Pep too much if he didn't do much in that game because that OL was amazing.

I don't think Pep was THE force behind the 2008 season though.

every year I love watching the 'battle' between Beason and Willis.

When Willis got drafted I was like "damn it!!" but then was reading about Beason and I now obviously think he is just as good. I say that meaning that these are the now future HOFers in the NFL both are amazing, it is hard to say that 1 is better then the other.

Davis, Johnson, and Bryton all got sacks. I dont think they was given up by clady though. Im pretty sure Clady only gave up 1/2 sack all year.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
