Feels good to be a fan of a Tier1 team. FINALLY.

Cam Newton - Dudes a BEAST. He can take a beating and give one hell of a beating.. plus we have De angelo, Stewart e.t.c We just entered Colts and New England status where players just want to come to your team during Free agency just to be in the same team as that guy. its beautiful.

Ron Rivera - Most people underestimate how important this guy is. We pretty much have 3 first round picks value with this guy. Yes the Coach - watch the work he did with Bears and with San Diego. Now take the same attention to detail

Peyton is on his way out - Neck Injuries are no joke and god knows how brutal the NFL has become with all these athletic Freaks.

Tom brady is Tom brady - hes going to be good but as far as Rex is up in Ny and from what i say in A Football Life - it seems its bellichick seems to struggle over and over again to instill that spirit that Steelers or Ravens(with Ray Lewis) naturally have. That down right nasty gritty style and it costs him over and over again because of you know who - rex baby. Rex will game plan the f#$ck out and make sure Tom doesnt get through to the play offs and of course the steelers or Ravens will take care of them(Jets) in the play offs.

By the time the next draft comes around - basically we can trade down and just load up on talent.. oh and by the way - watch the job Ron does shuffling that defense even with the injuries. :) They just help us build up depth.

I hope I get this in before the assault: I agree!

*with the exception of trading down part. I hope we can find someone that will let us trade up so we can still load up on talent.

hahaha - propaganda. Enjoy it.

As far as the "Snake and Fox" were around - Carolina was always going to be a tier 2 team.

We're more Pier1 than Tier1.

I typically measure performance by wins.

Let's not get too crazy. I definitely think Cam has what it takes to become a top 5 QB in this league, but our team still has a lot of growing to do and there are several great teams out there already. It's going to take a lot of hard work but we can become a truly elite team... but we're not there - yet.

If you mean teir one meida coverage, then yes. It's hard to be 0-2 and be seriously considered a teir one team.

Well we're trending like a tier 1 team. Only tier 1 teams can lose games and go up in power rankings. We lost 2 back to back and keep moving up ;)

Yup, based off media perception. Hype buys a few spots in power rankings. We generally were better than our power rakings in prior years.

Or maybe it has more to do with the 900 yards of offense and how we played the defending Superbowl Champions versus the way those other teams looked against their opponents....but hey...continue to give this team no credit.
