Not trying to toot my own horn (well, maybe a little bit), but I was the first to go on record on the forum to say that the Panthers would be in the dance this year. I still believe this to be true. The only thing that can stop us is injury. When we play up to our level and talent and ability---with the consistency, focus, determination, and expectation of excellence on every single play---we are the team to beat. When the coaches coach---keeping the principles of fundamental football in their mind, but not afraid to make appropriate game-specific changes to their game plans when warranted---we do nothing but win. I have been telling you all season long to believe. You're starting to believe now, aren't you? It is OK to believe.

Just Believe! All of the components are there! We have an exciting defense that may give up big plays from time to time, but overall is fundamentally sound and makes big plays. Beason and Peppers lead an extremely young and talented defense. Delhomme has been an amazingly smart game manager and field general. We have D-Wheel and J-Bird (who roll and fly over the competition). We have the two toughest receivers in football, who are arguably the best tandem of receivers in football in the mighty Steve Smith and the venerable Muhsin Muhammad. And, we have a very strong supporting cast of TEs, RB and WR #3s. And, lastly, we have acquired a beast on an extremely tough O-line.

The pieces are in place. The execution and motivation are obviously peaking at the right time. The Super Bowl is ours for the taking.

Gloating before the playoffs is smart.

i agree, plus claiming that you called a SB run back in august is stupid, no offense to you. almost every fan has hopes of making it to the super bowl, and the more homeristic ones "call" it. all this proves is that you sir are a big homer

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.

      Why I Believe That We Will Trade Down

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Walker is a good player and comes from a great defensive minded school but there a questions about him. He could be a superstar or bust.  You trade down and will get a player with similar concerns and you jump into the middle of the second round where there are some good players.  YOU'RE not getting a 1st next year and a 2nd for 8. These mock simulators give you fair value for the most part. I've tried and most counter offers were rejected.  We trade down get a good first round graded player and jump into the middle of 2nd round and not having to wait for 57.  Plus if a stud falls to the late first or early 2nd round we could package 46 and 57 and get him.

      It's just a burden to throw a dart if you're so green. Dan has his work cut out for him.
