Think about This for a second

[panther4life]

I've thought about this for a second...

Texans

Matt Schaub

Arian Foster

Ben Tate (Who had nearly 1000 yards)

Lawrence Vickers

Andre Johnson

Owen Daniels (Who had seven more receptions and over 100 more receiving yards than Olsen)

Chris Meyers

Brian Cushing

J.J. Watt

Whitney Mercilus (A rookie who may be just as good as Kuechly - it's a push, but it's certainly possible)

Johnathon Joseph

Glover Quinn Jr.

You can argue with this a bit, but overall it's a very similar team to the Panthers in my opinion. They have a shutdown corner, good linebackers, a solid receiving tight-end, a few respectable defensive lineman, a two fast/reliable backs and a nice fullback, and a potential hall of fame receiver.

Saints**

Drew Brees

Darren Sproles

Pierre Thomas

Marques Colston

Jimmy Graham

Jahri Evans

Ben Grubbs

Aubrayo Franklin

Curtis Lofton

David Hawthorne

Jabari Greer

Malcolm Jenkins

And before you argue "Pierre Thomas sucks! He's no damn good!" he averaged 5.1 yards a carry, and they have a good three-headed rushing attack developing in their own right. Will Smith and Vilma could replace Hawthorne (who has 100+ tackles in the past three seasons) and Thomas on this list, and ultimately the only weak player would be Jenkins, and he's not bad.

Cowboys

Tony Romo

Demarco Murray

Dez Bryant

Miles Austin

Jason Witten

Doug Free (He's solid, albeit not Gross manning the LT position)

Tyron Smith

Anthony Spencer

Demarcus Ware

Jay Ratliff

Sean Lee

Brandon Carr

Morris Claiborne

They have a lot of unproven talent in the secondary, but I think every Panther fan before the draft secretly was hoping Claiborne would fall to us, not Kuechly. Doug Free isn't great, but he's not bad. The rest are definitely talents I would love to have.

Falcons

Michael Turner

Roddy White

Julio Jones

Tony Gonzalez

Todd Mclure

Tyson Clabo

Sean Witherspoon

John Abraham

Jonathan Babineaux

Brent Grimes

Asante Samuel

Thomas Decoud/Ray Edwards/Matt Ryan/Dunta Robinson

This is a stacked team and I couldn't decide who to fill that 12th slot with...

Eagles

Michael Vick

Lesean Mccoy

Jeremy Maclin

Desean Jackson

Jason Peters (He's not healthy, but he was the best LT in football last year without question (in my mind, of course))

Evan Mathis

Todd Herremans

Jason Babin

Trent Cole

Cullen Jenkins

Nnamdi Asomugha

Dominique-Rodgers Cromartie

(You can also add Brent Celek, OJ Atogwe, DeMeco Ryans, or MIke Patterson to fill in Peters's shoes)

I'm finished, but the Steelers, Ravens, Giants, Bengals, Chargers (debatably), Packers, Bears, Patriots, Jets, Bills (think of their free-agents), 49ers, maybe Chiefs, Broncos, Titans, Lions all have twelve players.

That leaves the Browns, Jaguars, Raiders, Seahawks (besides Lynch, Rice, Clemons, and their corners/safeties, I can't think of anyone else), Cardinals (same as Seattle, although at different positions), Vikings, Bucs (although they're getting there), Dolphins, Redskins, Colts, and Rams who can't match us according to your rubric.

I may be wrong, but this isn't the way we should be thinking moving forward, especially if you look at the list of players of the five teams I analyzed: The Eagles, Falcons, Saints**, and Cowboys, who have more than enough to excel, and they under-accomplished (two didn't even make the postseason, another only scored two points in the postseason, and another lost a shootout against Alex Smith). The Texans, on the other-hand, had a lot of talent, although some star linebackers were hurt (and their quarterback/wide receiver were injured for major parts of their season), and they over-accomplished. I think, if anything, solid depth eclipses star players on certain positions.

Before Tl;dr, basically I nitpicked some rosters, found a lot of good players and refuted the original poster's claim. I'm not playing troll, just being realistic/objective.

Just cause i'm stuck at work I think I'll play too. You could have put Mark Ingram on the N.O list too

Sometimes? After only 26 posts, you throw that into the fire?

I don't see the significance of making twelve player lists. The game is is played by something shy of the 45 game active roster.

[PantherPhann89]

That really was unnecessary, rude, insensitive and disrespectful!

I prefer the debate threads, especially in the offseason. Refreshing vs the norm this time of year.

Not trying to stir anything up, and I will leave it at this but I just peaked in the smack forum and noticed about 6-7 threads where you made the last post(Argus Plexus) but yet you come on here and say arguing on the internet is dumb.

[Brooklyn Bully]

For the OP's inane theory to be true, a non-Panthers fan would have to be able to compile the same list the OP did for our team.

Well for what it's worth I was gonna tell him the ocean called and they're running out of shrimp, but refrained.

[top dawg]

The list could have read like this, and still would have given me hope:

Cam Newton

[panthers34]

the two pro bowl teams...
