So far this morning...

5. Carolina Panthers

 
The maturation of a contender isn't always a linear process. Sometimes there's an orderly procession from also-ran to challenger to division champ to elite and other times a big-time team bursts onto the scene as sudden as a summer storm. For all the ugliness, the Panthers' road win over the 49ers announced them as bona fide contenders. They may be channeling the early 2000s Tennessee Titans, who featured a rock-ribbed D and an offense that wasn't explosive exactly, but that was really adept at gaining 10 yards in three downs. Getting past a battle-tested bunch like the Saints in their own division is a 50/50 prospect at best, but they can do everything that the Jets did to New Orleans with an even greater degree of violence. Even Seahawks-Niners might not offer as much drama as this Panthers-Saints battle plays out down the stretch. (Last Week: 6)

They've won five straight and the reason is that defensive front. Wow. (7th)

6. Carolina Panthers (6-3)

The Panthers might have the best defense in the NFC. Carolina limited the 49ers to 151 yards. (Last week: 10)

great line, NO doesnt match up versus physical teams very well, I certainly think we have a shot.

6panthersb_logo.gif Carolina Panthers (6-3) - Previously: #9 - Cam Newton didn't do his showboating very much at San Francisco because he didn't have a particularly good game, but his arrogance got me thinking: What if Superman similarly acted like a douche? What if he posed for the camera and made stupid shirt-ripping movements every time he saved a civilian? At what point would the general start thinking, "Man, that Superman is kind of a dick. I think I'm going to root for Lex Luthor to destroy Superman. Lex doesn't seem like a bad guy compared to that Superman douche."

I'm thinking someone doesn't like Cam. Oregon fan maybe?

Walterfootball is a dipshit. If you take a look at the comment section with each of his posts, its clear he doesn't have any fans and his website only gets hits because people fuging hate him but can't look away.

    • I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.
    • Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.  
    • Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
