So with the roster pretty much set.

[The Link]

Have done it before.

Never beaten Miami and have Pat White!

New orleans will take one game

Philly is much better than the Panthers.

Giants will rattle Jake and he will cost the Panthers the game.

Minnesota has had the Panthers number the last couple of meetings

New England is a better team than the Panthers.

Atlanta is going to be great this year

Panthers cant beat Dallas during the regular season

We will stomp Miami this year. Your wildcat bullsh*t wont work on us.

Philly isn't better than us.

Jake won't be throwing much against the Giants, or anyone else for that matter.

Minnesota beat us before our running game got going last year.

Carolina and NE are both good. Either could win.

Atlanta is going to be about the same or worse. Ryan is going to hit his sophomore slump. Teams know how to prepare for him now.

Dallas will get pwned this season.

Atlanta is going to own the Panthers this year and the other loses will be to better teams.

If you can't stop the Pat White bullshit, could you at least just leave?...

I thought I gave a fair accessment. If we dont stop the running game we are going to lose alot of games.

If the other teams don't stop the running game they are going to lose a lot of games is more to my liking...

Thats bout what I see right now Squirrel. 7-9. The NFC East OWNS the Panthers in the regular season and that will be the difference in 09. I see us splitting with ATL again, splitting with Tampa, and sweeping NOLA again in the South.

Why? Every trend has to end. For all you know, we could sweep the NFC East, and end up going 12-4 again, or maybe 13-3.

Do you have us losing all those games because Jake is our QB? Do you think it would have been better if we drafted Pat White and started him? I think not. We would have definitely been a 7-9 team then.

[X-Clown]

I've got 11-5. Losses coming against the Eagles, Pats, Falcons, Saints, and Giants.

[GotSwag?]

What do I expect? Hmm..Offense will be pretty legit, if healthy. The running game looks beastly and we still have Smitty. I just love what we have developed and drafted for the running game. Stewart-Williams-Goodson as RB's. OL of Gross-Wharton-Kalil-Robinson(this is my surprise starter for the season) -Otah looks like a potentially great OL.

Defense - Although they didnt perform to well last season, I like the secondary. I love the LB's we have also. DL - diff story. We have some talent there and if Pep stays and decides to not be a baby and play like he can, this defense will do some things for us. If Pep goes, DL will struggle early but overall, I think this team can go 11-5, 10-6. Its a tough schedule and I think we win the division still at 11-5 and we make the playoffs. I can see NFCCG with this team.

Couple of things. Yes we addressed needs in the draft but our CB's are going to get burnt Marshall isnt a #1 or #2 CB. Lucas was great against the run that will be missed this year.

Nothing to do with Pat White, This is mostly about our defense.

fair assessment? We were 12-4 last season, 3rd best record in all of football. We just improved almost every area of concern. Not too many better.

How do you figure the Dolphins are a better team. The played a pretty soft schedule last year. The played all the last place AFC teams because they were 1-15 the year before.

Got Bill, Great man and is turning your team around. Wouldn't say you are quiet superbowl bound just yet.

I think that Miami sun is starting to affect your NFL brain cells.

Go Panthers

[panthers55]

Don't see the NFC East beating us this year. We finally have the talent on offense to hang with them and our defense will be much improved in the passing game, where we have struggled in the past. Many of the teams in our division and on our schedule have good passing games. If we can hang with them and gear toward stopping the run, which is vintage John Fox, we will be solid. Our problem in the past has been a lack of offense output. Last year we scored as many points per game as I can remember. Last year we fixed the offense and this year we will fix the defense.

With that said I think we will go 10-6. Still could go 9-7 if we don't come to play every game. Keep in mind that pour defensive coordinator is new and Davidson is only in his third season. So to compare what we did in 2006 when we last played the NFC East to now has no bearing.

But those that feel we will have a losing record are very wrong. A lot of those teams you think we will lose to don't exactly have a win already penciled in. They are as worried about us as we are of them.

Defense is where we are going to be much better. Meeks has a history of producing very good DBs in his system. With our linebacking corp and average line we will more than fine. Marshall was not a slot corner but may make a decent cover 2 corner, you don't need as much speed and man cover skills in the cover 2 but need to hit well, run to the ball and tackle. Marshall can do that fine. And Lucas was not great against the run as our cover 3 last year put him 10 yards off the line. Probably was more the crappy scheme than his talent potential.

Marshall will be solid in a cover 2 defense. Our corners won't get burned. Our defense will be top 10-15, and with our run game that is all that is needed.

Are you a Panthers fan or a Miami fan?
