Carolina Panthers at San Francisco 49ers

 

The Panthers have won nine of their last 12 games, but the knock on Carolina? They haven't beaten anyone of note. We don't buy it. The Panthers have scored 30-plus points per game during a four-tilt win streak, and Cam Newton is playing the best football of his career. His 120.4 passer rating on third downs points to Newton making critical throws from the pocket, and he's one reason we're all aflutter for Sunday:

Saying this could be 2013 game of the year.

A part of me is scared due to years of being a Panther fan and withstanding the most emotional abuse I've ever encountered in sports. I just want to go toe to toe with the defending NFC champs. The other part though... WANTS TO fuging GOML THEM! Let's get this W!

    • Kind of where I'm at on this also. I think he has the potential to be an all pro caliber guard if he can come back 100%. He's more mauler than quick. Hunt is making 20m per, Moton is making 22m. Moton is a better RT than Icky is a LT so I think the pay comp would probably be about the same there. I don't see Icky as a 28m per season LT. He'll be low 20s and as an elite guard, i think he'd be within a couple mill of that. 
    • I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.  
    • I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.
