Tomlinson, Heath Evans and fan vote picked among the Panthers, Cowboys and the team that blew a 25 point lead in the Super Bowl. The two players chose the Panthers.  Fans voted the 25pters, followed by Cowboys and us last. 

Tomlinson specifically said Sherman is similar to Norman and we went with Norman so he's picking us, and Evans said the other two teams' defense aren't a player away from being great but our defense would be back to elite with Sherman.

I want to believe them. Only flaw is our offense doesn't seem prepared to perform like it did in 2015...

Also the Falcons don't NEED Sherman they have two good corners already, and just picked up D. Poe...so that's really a no-brainer that if they got Sherman they'd be an elite Defense.

It's all about the OL. We had a perfect storm along the OL last season. We had two guys on the OL who could NOT get hurt - Oher and Kalil. They both got hurt. Oher was probably at most our 6th or 7th best offensive player, but he was probably the 2nd or 3rd most critical player on the offense when you looked at our depth chart - behind only Cam and possibly Olsen. Him getting hurt didn't just massively downgrade the LT position, it also greatly impacted OL continuity which is vital because it forced us to move our RT over to LT and replace a guy at that position too. We've made some moves on the OL and the offseason isn't over yet. Surely we won't have as bad of luck there again next year.

Sure, the O-line was a problem to be sure, but there has to be completeness in our resolution to improve. The fact is that the O-line was middle of the pack. The defensive backfield was...not. 

The O-line is still a little suspect in that we now have two tackles with some injury concerns, but the secondary could use some more experience to settle fan's minds about our cornerback situation. They seemed to be gelling a little bit, but that could have been a mirage.

the 25 point lead meme has done got old. It's not like our team did any better in their outing.

Actually, we did. 

Consider these golden facts:

-The Falcons and Broncos Superbowl was won by the Broncos by a score of 34-19; a 15 point differential. The game was well known for the Falcons sloppy - and horrid - performance.

-The Panthers and Broncos Superbowl had a score of 24-10; 14 point differential. Once again, game known for the Panthers sloppy performance.

14<15. Panthers had a less point differential than Falcons in their catastrophic performances. Panthers held a closer score longer than the Falcons as well.

-The Panthers and Patriots game was lost thanks to a lead blow by the leg of Kasay. The score differential was 3.

-The Falcons blew a freaking 25 point lead against the Patriots; total point differential: 6.

3<6. Whatever the Panthers did in any Superbowl>blowing a 25 point lead.

Doesn't matter how you spin it. Falcons have had worse losses than us by a largeshot.

Which all means nothing in the grand scheme of things. Ultimately both teams lost their Superbowl opportunities.

Despite every Panther fan hoping like hell that the Falcons Superbowl loss will have a lasting affect....reality says their offense hasn't lost anything, and their defense is getting better. 

I don't expect them to have a losing season.

Their offense did lose something: their hotshot OC.

Could Richard Sherman be the Charles Haley of the 80s (For you youngsters Haley bounced back and forth to 5 Lombardis)? I don't think so. But entertaining the trade due to the cap dollar compensation owed Sherman, he's worth no more than our two 2d round picks & a JAG player

Corrected.

      Snow in the high country

      i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with.

      FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.

      Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
