[Toker Smurf]

Bet you can guess one team.

Of corse I can, the only team with a losing record in there. The only team in there that has massive cap issues. The team that didn't belong there last year...the Panthers. And we probably won't belong there this year either, nothing's changed.

That said, I think this is the last year we will suck. 2016, our stars will settle in with new contacts and we will be out of cap hell. Not to mention Gettles' draft picks will begin to bloom. Light at the end of the tunnel JR and Hurney put us in, in 2010...finally.

Lol gotta love the reasoning.

Der the Saints and Falcons are bound to be better because, well just cause.

Despite the fact the Panthers wiped the floor with those chumps. I'm more worried about Tampa Bay.

I understand why we are on the list after all we barely made the playoffs last season. The Falcons arguably will get better and the saints could with all of their draft picks they acquired. Even the Bucs have a solid chance of improving thier team.

All we have signed is special team players or players cut from other teams. Personally I believe we will make the playoffs but I'm a homer.

I disagree.  The team belonged there last year.  They won convincingly against the cards and gave a decent battle on the road in Seattle.

 

They have these articles every year.  Not surprised.  But this year's team is going to dash that scorecard.

They said the same thing last year.

Except, we won the division the past two years and didn't lose arguably our best player from last year (Saints/Graham), get a new coaching staff (Falcons) or will not be starting a rookie QB (Bucs).

This is seriously a re-hash of last year's criticism. Only with us having a great 2014 draft and the other teams in our division not getting any better (or like NOLA, significantly worse).

 

Tampa will likely be much improved if they draft JW, but he'll still be a rookie and rookie's rarely lead teams to the playoff promised land.

Yea beating the Saints 41-10 in New Orleans and beating Falcons 34-3 in Atlanta to finish off the season means the Panthers will definitely finish third in the division.

The Falcons are also bound to be better, making Carolina an outlier for the playoffs.

 

how do i get a job writing this poo

[Mother Grabber]

there's no one in the division who will pose a legitimate threat to the Panthers three-peat.  Seems unlikely they they won't be there.

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

if we don't draft nine wide receivers/offensive tackles there are going to be more of the same articles coming up too so get ready

[LinvilleGorge]

I think the media has picked the Saints and Falcons to finish ahead of us every year for about a decade straight.  It's certainly nothing new.  It's as if the media thinks every other NFCS team has the ability to improve while the Panthers are bound to be worse than they were the previous season.  It's weird.

To back

A new trend had begun of divisional dominance. The NFL media isn't ready to accept that yet.
