But my favorite pick here is the Panthers. They're the last team before the odds go over the hundo cliff and at 66-1 they offer tremendous value. There are certainly concerns; the secondary could be a major problem and the offensive line is secretly kind of a nightmare. But they've got one of the best linebackers in the NFL (and my pick for Defensive Player of the Year) in Luke Kuechly, the addition of Kawaan Short and Star Lotulelei to beef up the defensive line and the presence of Cam Newton under center.

This team is a lot better than last year, at least on paper. The front 7 alone is going to change the outcome of some games. If the OLine can at least resemble an NFL caliber line, and they can hold on to win just a few of the close games, this is a playoff team.

Once you are in the playoffs, anything can happen, especially with Cam at QB.

I was thinking about this earlier today. Now that we have ginn he will hopefully score atleast one punt and kick off return each this season. We lost 9 games last year 7 by less than a score so that's literally two W's instead of L's if our defense keeps games as close and our offense at worst stays the same as last year which I don't believe it will. Should easily being looking at more wins this season than last

I don't think anyone has actually payed attention to what we have done this offseason.

 

Guys on NFL Network talking about the Taints returning to the playoffs said "Carolina has done nothing to get themselves pass rushers or guys in the secondary." lolwut you serious

      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.
