Carolina Panthers 2012 Prediction

[pantherclaw]

predicting injury is bad form, imo. esp. continually bringing it back up.

no doubt.

the panthers always seem to some bad injuries. why anyone would want to predict it happening...that's just not a wise thing to do.

I said this a few months back, but I'll say it again:

Thomas Keiser has a bigger year than Greg Hardy and approaches double-digit sacks.

Alexander will have a bigger year than Keiser.

There have been tons of predictions in scattered threads, perhaps there is one thread to rule them all. Post your one bold prediction for 2012, here is mine:

Coach Riveria has said he wanted a ‘scat-back’ type option in his backfield and he has acquired that back in the form of 5-9 245lb running back/fullback Mike Tolbert.

Mike Tolbert will be heavily utilized in a variety of offensive packages and combine for a total of 800 yards rushing and passing along with 6 TDs.

Scat back? I thought people were predicting we'd be drafting a scat back type running back in the draft way after we signed Tolbert. And we sure didn't. I don't view Tolbert as a scat back.

I'm predicting Tolbert to be a huge lead blocker for DWill and Stew but a huge contributor on goal line plays

My BOLD predictions:

-We make the playoffs! Either by Division Champs or Wildcard.

-Kuechly wins Defensive ROTY

-Cam will be Cam

-Smitty tops 1k again

-We finds out we need a legit no.2 WR behind Smitty and/or a future WR

-Defense will be better, but still need a legit DT beside Edwards
