Week 12 Power Rankings

Well that was quick:

6. Carolina Panthers (7-3)

Found via Team Stream by Bleacher Report.

You can question how the Panthers' Week 11 win over the New England Patriots ended—and many will—but do not question whether or not this team is for real. Their play the last two weeks proves that they are a contender.

The Panthers won the game after intercepting Tom Brady in the endzone as time expired, but a flag thrown for defensive pass interference was picked up and waived off. No flag, no foul, ball game. The internet and sports shows will be ablaze with debates over the merits of the call, but attention should be paid to how well the Panthers played, too.

This is a team that's taken down the San Francisco 49ers and Patriots in back-to-back weeks. That's astounding consider 10 weeks ago many were ready to call Cam Newton a bust. Newton is not a bust, but an MVP candidate, and the Panthers are very much alive in the NFC.

#5 makes the most sense, looking at records.

 

Power rankings are not standings, if they were we wouldn't need power rankings (well we don't need power rankings anyway but you know what I mean).

 

The Chiefs have a better record than we do but we have been playing better right now, and that's what the power rankings are supposed to measure.

      Round 7: The Carolina Panthers select LB Jackson Kuwatch (Miami of Ohio)

      By bigginpc · Posted

      He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.

      This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.

      Round 5: The Carolina Panthers select C Sam Hecht (Kansas State)

      I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
