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.

    • Such a dumb pick and most of us knew it Ladd would’ve been the perfect match with Bryce But instead they draft XL to fill the void at the X spot because we had a 34 year old Adam Thielen. Then a year later we draft a real X WR and move XL inside where he has absolutely no business being for a list of reasons
    • My logic was hopefully a new HC would have a LOT quicker hook for Bryce. But, that is assuming they would even be allowed. I guess that's a call to the owner's box for permission.
    • I’m not overly defending the pick. I was team Stroud by a country mile but I also knew what to expect as far as ceiling goes with Bryce  I had concerns with Bryce’s arm strength and size. Neither seem to overly be an issue. He’s proven to throw with enough anticipation that he makes up for a lack of velocity. I was worried about the way he played in college not translating to the league. Spending 8 seconds behind LOS. I did also think it would take Young a few years for him to reach his full potential. I also think he’s too smart and accurate to flat out bust which all of seems to be pretty accurate Bryce is someone you can absolutely win with. No one thought he’d be the type to carry a well below average supporting cast to a Super Bowl. He’s fully capable of giving you those 4-5 special plays a game that help your team win. And then you have those rare times where he’s the reason you win like in Atlanta.  All good teams have more than just a QB.  Even the teams that are winning this year all have a lot more than what we have. Supporting cast/defense… more than what we have  As far as Morgan goes I 100% agree. Fwiw he was legit team Bryce during the draft process. I know that for a fact. Last years draft is a complete write off. This past draft still up for debate. TMac and Scourton look solid. I can’t remember the last time I saw Princely win a rep and I’m being honest. Ransom has a little value. I think ETN is a nice insurance add. Evans could be a TE2.    I think this offseason Morgan will get aggressive with trying to land a pass rusher. Whether that’s a trade for Crosby, signing Hendrickson, it’s going to be top priority. We need a ILB. I really like Kaden Ellis. Sonny Styles should be in our draft range. We also need a tight end and it would be interesting to see this offseason with Kenyon Sadiq
