2014 season bold predictions.

[AU-panther]

Bell becomes an above average LT but a large faction of people on here are still convinced that we should pay a FA tackle considerable more money for the same production.

 

Our receivers eclipse the production of last years group at a fraction of the cost.

 

Stewart is top 5 in rushing in the league.

 

Hardy is traded for a 3rd and 6th round pick.

If we're doing general NFL:

 

-49ers indeed miss out on the playoffs

-The Chargers win the AFC West; Broncos are a WC

-Eli gets benched for Ryan Nassib, Coughlin "retires"

 

Panthers:

 

-Stewart leads the team in rushing ~900 yards

-Fozzy eclipses 400 yards on the ground

-White leads the team with 4+ interceptions

-We go 5-1 in the NFCS

-And I'm jumping on the Norwell bandwagon and think he ends up starting 3-5 games somewhere on the line this season.  He looked good this preseason

 

 

[Marguide]

We have an off year.

 

Rivera gets fired.

 

Shula takes his job.

 

Huddle simultaneously self-combusts, never to be seen again.

[Rise of The Hive]

We win the division!

[PandaPancake]

Win the Super Bowl and the LFL championship

[Estrada]

We sneak into the playoffs as a wild card, get hot, make it to the Super Bowl, and defeat the Patriots both earning our first Lombardi as a franchise and avenging our loss in Super Bowl 38. Instead of a kicking blunder to lose, Gano kicks the game winner from 50 plus yards. Cam has a completion percentage over 70 and wins MVP, narrowly edging Kelvin who has over 100 yards receiving and 2 touchdowns.

Everyone outside of Charlotte proceeds to eat crow and Cam's arrival as an elite QB is the talk of all sports outlets during the summer.

The Panthers bandwagon is born

The demise of the Patriots as a consistent winner begins

The Falcons remain the only team in the NFCS without a Super Bowl victory

BOOM

Melvin White makes the pro bowl.

 

DeAngelo Williams plays strictly backup role to Stewart, with Tolbert as change of pace/goal line/short yardage situations.

 

We sign a player from another team's practice squad, who ends up getting significant playing time.

 

We do not add any tackles; stick with Bell and Chandler as starters.

 

Greg Hardy's trial DOES happen during our bye week, he is found to be innocent, and at the end of the year we give him a long term deal worth nowhere near as much as JJ Watt's.

 

Luke Kuechly wins DPOY AGAIN.

 

Thomas Davis plays well enough to be an All-Pro second team but doesn't get named to it; does, though, get invited to the Pro Bowl.

 

Star and KK BOTH make the Pro Bowl.

 

Gano makes a 60 yard field goal.

We are over 75% on converting 4th downs, and attempt over 15.

 

We don't give up a single play over 70 yards the entire season.

 

We have no passes for over 60 yards the entire season.

 

Teddy Bridgewater leads the Vikings to a win over us, throwing for 4 scores with no interceptions.

 

Mike Shula is fired at the end of the season.

 

We retain DeAngelo, Stewart and Tolbert next season.

 

We don't draft a running back at all next season.

 

Cam gives the ball away to 15+ different kids after TDs.

 

We win both our first game, and our game after the bye week.
