The 2016 Panthers Thread: Keep Pounding

Panthers, Seahawks have biggest Super Bowl windows (NFL.com)

1) Carolina Panthers

I wouldn't take any quarterback in the NFL over Cam Newton right now. Not many guys can beat you throwing the ball and with their feet like Newton can; consider that he's the only player in NFL history to record 35-plus passing touchdowns and 10-plus rushing touchdowns in a season. He's just 26, works extremely hard and continues to trend upward, having improved dramatically in accuracy and decision-making. Newton won with a receiving corps that lacked a true No. 1, meaning he should only be better in 2016, once receiver Kelvin Benjamin -- who missed the year with a torn ACL -- returns to action. Many key offensive pieces, including running back Jonathan Stewart and tight end Greg Olsen, are locked up long-term and should continue to produce for some time.

By their nature, Carolina's defenders will force turnovers -- the Panthers led the NFL in both takeaways (39) and takeaway differential (plus-20) in 2015. The tackle tandem of Star Lotulelei and Kawann Short is probably the NFL's best, while Luke Kuechly stands among the league's top linebackers. Cornerback Josh Norman, who is set to hit free agency, should be retained; there's otherwise no reason to think a unit that has ranked in the top 10 in each of the past four seasons will slow down. The NFC South will be a tougher division in 2016 than it was in 2015, but the Panthers are a team on the rise -- they are the new darlings of the NFL.

Bold man saying all of this after we make the super bowl. He probably had us floating around 15 - 20 last year, even though GMan has been crushing the draft and freeing up salary space.
 
When Peyton Manning faces the Carolina defensive line for the first time he will say to himself; "Nationwide is on my Side!"

Seriously, no one said any of this up until now. If they lost to the Seahawks two weeks ago it'd be a different narrative even though all the same pieces would be there. IOW, national NFL coverage is lazy, shocker
 
The Panthers love seems to be avalanching. It's awesome but terrifying. The line is flying up and might hit 7 by game time.
 
Anybody going to the rally today? Seems pretty stupid to do it when the kids are in school. But it looks like they're setting up some big shit for it.
 
I'll probably take a late long lunch and head by the rally.
 
Great googly moogly
