I think it's interesting that 6-10 is supposed to be the worst NFC record. From what I've seen the defense is good for at least 7 wins.

 

Seriously. 6-10 is what I predicted our o-line earns us, but how on Earth is that dead last? Almost everyone else in the NFC will be a winning team?

Rating NFL backfields

Tier 4

21. Indianapolis Colts (Ahmad Bradshaw, Vick Ballard; FB Stanley Havili)

22. Dallas Cowboys (DeMarco Murray, Lance Dunbar)

23. Oakland Raiders (Darren McFadden, Rashad Jennings; FB Marcel Reece)

24. San Diego Chargers (Ryan Mathews, Danny Woodhead; FB LeRon McClain)

25. Denver Broncos (Montee Ball, Ronnie Hillman, Knowshon Moreno)

26. Carolina Panthers (Jonathan Stewart, DeAngelo Williams; FB Mike Tolbert)

27. Green Bay Packers (Eddie Lacy, James Starks, Jonathan Franklin; FB John Kuhn)

A real mish-mash of groups here, from those banking on a youngster (Denver and Green Bay) to those hoping their injury-prone group can survive (Indianapolis, San Diego, Carolina) to a couple teams needing bounce-back years from their talented starters (Dallas and Oakland).

For the latter two units, this is a matter of perception vs. reality. Murray and McFadden may be two of the more talented backs in the NFL, but for various reasons have not shown that consistently. Same goes for the Stewart/Williams duo in Carolina, which has had one or the other injured — currently it’s Stewart who will start the season on the PUP and miss at least six weeks – on what feels like a weekly basis.

Don’t sleep on Indianapolis. Bradshaw is another brittle body, but he has a pair of 1,000-yard rushing seasons and will be a terrific help to Andrew Luck as a pass-protector.

I usually don't give a poo about predictions but that is a little bit ridiculous. We're in no way a really strong team but we're definitely in better shape than the Cardinals, Vikings, Bucs, Bears, and Eagles are. I'd say we're equal to teams like Dallas, Detroit, New Orleans, Washington, and New York. 

 

So if the Panthers end up dead last in the NFC  I would be pretty shocked.

I normally read Peter Kings articles. Its just that when he talks about the Panthers, he seems to be like a woman scorned. I do not believe he has ever said anything good about the Team or Cam in general. Must have been that incident where Cam did not pay attention to him or something of that nature? Logic will tell you a 7-9 team that was plagued with injuries that is having those players return and added the draft of studs acquired will at least rack up 2 more wins. Thats not even talking about the improved special teams and semi improved wr core. The ony question is the offensive line. Even that can be fixed with a free agent signing that may be in the works. Or even a trade. Peter, I am disappoint son.

Just for some perspective, I imagine the rest of the league thinks of us like we think of the Jaguars. We pretty much don't think about them. Even the lame-ass, chronically irrelevant chiefs and Rams made high profile coaching changes. We always get nobodies. Were it not for Cam, (and the polarization that he brings, like it or not) people would forget we are in the league.
