5 teams rising, 5 teams declining. (I shortened it to just the Panthers section for the whole article click on the link above.)

Panthers

If you're in search of the NFL's most happy-go-lucky atmosphere, probably best to stay out of Charlotte. The residue from last year's playoff meltdown to the Cardinals lingers, and Jake Delhomme is widely viewed as a guy operating on borrowed time. The same could be said for head coach John Fox, who witnessed a mass exodus from his staff this past offseason and could be the next out the door if the team disappoints. Joining his counterpart on the other side of the ball (Steve Smith), the team's best defensive player, Julius Peppers, wants to be traded and has been saddled with the unwanted franchise tag. There is plenty of talent left over from last year's 12-4 finish, but we're going to go ahead and guess that the 2009 Panthers will not be the NFL prototype for team chemistry.

That guy can eat a dick.

The Dolphins? :confused:

Quite possibly one of the MOST uninformed attempts at a sports article I've ever read. Seriously where do they come up with this poo?

I know when I read this garbage I was thinking to myself hopefully this is just another one of Chad Ochocinco's jokes.

Everybody is entitled to their opinion, but it irks me when people write stuff like this without ever watching a single practice or talking to any of the players.

I think he just said Julius Peppers just joined Smitty in wanting to be traded? What a boob.

Yeah, what a dumbarse. Does he even know who Steve Smith is?

No this is literally taking a poo in your hand, throwing it at the computer, and hoping someone thinks you're a genius when in all actuality noone will. Look at the 5 teams he picked to be "on the rise" next year. Those same 5 teams who were some of the worst in the league last year won't be getting any better, especially not the horrendous Raiders.

Then conversely his reasons for why our team will apparently suck shows he hasn't even paid the slightest bit of attention to ANYTHING going on with the Panthers. The players are happier than I've seen them in a while, the new coaching staff has brought so much more energy, and John Fox is most certainly not in danger of losing his job despite what a lot of people think they know.

That guy can eat his own dick after I castrate him infront of his wife and children.

Fixed.

[TerriblePizza]

Wait... Steve Smith wants to be traded?

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

So...lessee if there is a formula here...

Five teams on rise = five teams who have nowhere to go but up

Five teams on decline = five teams who were in the playoff hunt last year and then things didn't go their way, be it in the playoffs or slightly before hand. Who now have unproven factors in key locations and some unanswered questions throughout the offseason.

Sound about right?
