I'm ready for anything with the Carolina Panthers. They could make the Super Bowl or finish 7-9. Riverboat Ron Rivera could be calling for fourth down conversions with the best defense in football or he could shrink in the big moments, like he has so many times before.

The Panthers, like Cam Newton, can be a moody team. They can be a bully and can play like they are afraid of success. When they are right, they can steamroll opponents with Newton's big arm and a power running game. But we haven't seen them come through in a big spot yet. We'll get our chances in the second half; they face the 49ers, Patriots and the Saints twice. All of those games are must watch. Which reminds me ...

Favorite teams to watch

1. Carolina Panthers

2. Detroit Lions

3. San Diego Chargers

4. Seattle Seahawks

5. Indianapolis Colts

Lol speaking of Tavon Austin, did any of you hear lastnight the commentator talking about now Austin records the plays on his ipad and repeats it over and over again in his apartmemt and practices lining up in his apartment to each play? When Austin didnt make a play on the next down, Gruden said "That play must have not been on his ipad." I literally busted out laughing. Just the way Gruden said it, Gruden was ripping Austin a new one lastnight.

Austin really has not translated at all to the next level yet, lol

 

I think he will improve given time but last night Gruden was hard as fug on him hah.

 

The guys were basically calling him out time after time... That last drive especially where they were basically imploring him to do something big... Of course, STL's goal line playcalling left something to be desired, so...

Im so glad he didnt fall to us. Small, slot type WRs like him are a dying breed. In the next couple years you will start seeing that drafting TEs in the top 10 will be the new norm.

      His PPG actually did go up a little in Colorado. We will see. I still sort of believe we saw pretty close to the peak of his abilities last year. Not wishing him ill or trashing him in any way. Just tend to believe we did sell high and correctly so.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      Well, other teams also had an offseason. I honestly agree with him. Right now I have way more faith in Coker ascending then I do XL. I think it's the TE/WR group dragging us down. Plus he does mention that the list was made with WR's very much valued more than RB's and TE's(I understand the thought process). In that context, we have a very aging AT, two "wait and see" second year players(one leaning bust) and a rookie.  I really think this is a very fair rating, on paper and in the offseason. Quite frankly, aside from the aforementioned and aging AT, this is a bunch of guys still trying to prove themselves.  Then when you go to TE, it's easily a bottom 3-4 unit on paper. That is probably being extremely generous.  RB is where we make our hay. Probably a top 5-10 unit. But....he mentions early in the article that he doesn't value the RB units as much.  So, really, it's the weighting of the skill positions that is what really fugs us.
