A player that will surprise us this season

[DOMOMAN]

Robert Lester, he will be the starting safety in the playoffs

[Growl]

If Kugbila is starting for this team early on this year we more than likely have catastrophic issues.

People are assuming we simply drafted an Amini Silatolu clone in the 4th and that isn't the case.

Silatolu was a much better prospect coming out and still struggled greatly early on.

[L-TownCat]

It will be hard since expectations are already high for him but I think Luke Kuechly will blow our minds with his coverage development  and blitz progression.  Huge year for Clark Kent DPOY.

[ItsPantone278]

Godfrey.  I think hes a good FS.

[OchoNueve]

If Thomas Davis can just replicate last season's production again, I think we can all agree that he has been a pleasant suprise coming back from multiple ACL injuries.

 

My suprise player is Kawann Short on defense and Ted Ginn on Offense....

 

I think with Star commanding double teams that Kawann Short will have a statiscally better season than anyone expects.

 

If Ted Ginn can return anything (punts, kickoffs) further than 10 yards on average, I think the whole Panther fan base should be pleasantly suprised as we have not had an above average return man since Smitty converted to full-time WR.  Our average starting field position should improve which is a very underrated stat.

[Razeyfingers]

If LaFell stays healthy he gets 70 grabs easy. He's going to abuse some DB's this year and half the league only knows him as "That other dude down in Carolina".

 

 

Maaaan, I was screaming to toss up to him when he was iso'd against his boy Claiborne against Dallas last year.  Oh my god that wouldve made a statement.

[SIGCHI222]

Frank Alexander.

[PhillyB]

rivera, I think he puts everything together in his third year

[iamhubby1]

Lots of great names, and comments. Great thread. And there was great rejoicing.

 

On D. Am hoping Norman has grown into that #1 we all want him to be. On O. I have to hope that Kugzilla is actually capable of playing RG. That would be my personal best case.

[d-run]

I'll go with DJ Campbell.

 

DJ played a lot better last year than people give him credit for, at a position that is very hard to play as a rookie. Wouldn't be surprised if he starts (and plays well)

[kls11310]

Kenjon

[micnificent28]

Pilares doesnt make this team. I just don't see a spot for him.

[ozzy1023]

I think it will be Josh Norman honestly. He had 7 pass deflections before he was benched and he has a chip on his shoulder to prove to Rivera he can play and play well. Not to mention the better d-line we have now which will make all of our secondary players better. 

[jfo89]

I think our entire secondary will suprise us this year.
