Panthers Have League's Toughest Schedule

Does not seem to make sense. From si.com

• As counter-intuitive as it sounds in the last-shall-be-first ways of the NFL, the Carolina Panthers have the league's toughest schedule. At least based on that often meaningless scale known as strength of schedule -- the combined 2010 won-loss record of all their 2011 opponents.

The 2-14 record the Panthers posted last season got them the No. 1 overall pick in next Thursday night's draft, but it didn't get them an easier road to travel in 2011, at least based on strength of schedule. Carolina's opponents went a combined 142-114 (.555) last year, but keep in mind that playing two games against NFC South foes Atlanta (13-3), New Orleans (11-5) and Tampa Bay (10-6) account for most of the damage.

That said, Carolina rookie head coach Ron Rivera's job won't be easy no matter how you quantify it. The Panthers play nine of their 16 games against teams that finished with at least 10 wins last year, and they draw the Packers, Bears, Saints and Falcons in the season's first six weeks.

I wouldn't have it any other way. What satisfaction does beating teams like the cardinals and niners really give us..we don't get any recognition for that. I want to see a hungry and aggressive 2011 team come out strong and beat an opponent who underestimates us. Let's start winning back some credibility as a franchise.

      It's not good to leave any netminder having a bad night out there, not fair to them, not fair to the skaters still trying to win the game It's classless and shows a lack of respect, for them has a player and a human being, you aren't gaining anything, you aren't learning anything , except they just don't have it that night. I don't care if it's a multiple Vezina Winner, or a 3rd string back up, don't leave them out there to shame themselves and the rest of the team  What if Lavi left Cam in when he didn't have it, and Rod had to skate knowing he essentially has an open net at his end of the ice, would he enjoy that ?

      If they draft Stewart at 8th, I will ask @Mr. Scot for a list of GMs and might as well ask for HC too.....

      I can't for the life of me figure out what people are seeing in Stewart on tape. If he can't just simply run around or through the OL in front of him, he's cooked. I don't see any actual moves. If he doesn't win on sheet athleticism at the point of contact he's nullified. I don't know if I've ever seen him actually beat a block once engaged. Then, even if he just blasts right past or through the OL and has a clean path to the ball it's like he's blind. He can't find the ball. He's like a bottle rocket. Yeah, he takes off fast but he's just going to go fast in a general direction. There will be no course correction. I watched quite a bit on him just because of his perceived draft evaluation and because of the wild discrepancy between measurables and production. Watch him play and it all makes since. He's a god tier physical specimen who just happens to be playing football. I don't see a football player. People need to stop falling in love with the potential and start realizing why the potential isn't translating.
