Just skip to the bottom, you know you want to.

 

 

 

Panthers
Super Bowl odds: +1000, +450 NFC
First game: vs. Niners/Packers/Eagles

 

Whether it's Cam Newton destroying entire defenses with his arm and/or legs, Steve Smith poo-talking his way to eternal glory, Fat Mike Tolbert running over people and DeAngelo Williams running past them, Luke Kuechly tackling everything in sight, Greg Hardy maiming offensive linemen and quarterbacks, or Riverboat Ron, the shining beacon of wisdom guiding this team to the promised land every week …

The Panthers are fun everywhere, the Panthers are GOOD everywhere. They're maybe the only team that should actually scare the Seahawks at home, and provided Steve Smith gets healthy, anything's possible. I've been on the bandwagon for eight weeks now, so there's no reason to rehash everything that's already been said. The Panthers have been the greatest all year.

love it

 

 

 

New Orleans would be higher on this list if it was reasonable to expect them to win three consecutive road games in Philadelphia, Seattle, then Green Bay, Carolina, or San Francisco

 

Chiefs/Panthers SB

 

 

 

I still like Broncos/Panthers.

Would you guys want another shot at the Patriots in the Super Bowl? I would. The worst possible opponent in the Super Bowl would be the Bengals. It would instantly be dubbed the the Super Bore. Ratings would be terrible and the winner would be given no credit for beating a small market franchise. If we get there we need a marquee opponent to scalp.

I'll take a Super Bowl win anyway I can

It wouldn't be boring to us. And quite frankly...I couldn't give two poos about what anybody else thinks.

    • I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks.
