Let's Do It Again! The Quest for SB 51

Carolina Panthers were part of the Top 10 in 2014, but came up short in the end. It’s hard to think Carolina could surpass that performance in lieu of losing Kelvin Benjamin for the season and making little off-season moves to improve an offense that struggled the season before. Carolina did, however, and made a run at the Super Bowl in the process. Ultimately, they fell short in the end, but it was a magical run still.

Panthers Perfection: Joey Chestnut or One For The Ages?

I have long prayed and and hoped that one day my hometown team, the Carolina Panthers, would win a Super Bowl in my lifetime.  And it is possible that they will not. Afterall, no one is guaranteed tomorrow and no one is guaranteed a Super Bowl. A football championship, unlike ones in baseball and basketball, comes down to one game.  Not the best of seven, but one game at a time determines who moves on and who goes home.

Panther's Roster Comparison: 2012-13 Baltimore Ravens

I share the opinion that the current Carolina Panthers roster is close to being very very good. I also believe it can be one that could possibly make a deep playoff run as soon as this year. I’ve chosen to compare our current roster to the one the Baltimore Ravens trotted out on the field for Super Bowl XLVII. Though comparing current rosters to ones of the past isn’t a fair judgement, it should give us a view into how talented our current team is.

NFL 2015: The Rise of the Running Game: Part I

The NFL is many things. Some things are more obvious than others. You hear "It's a copy-cat league," "It's a quarterback-driven league," "Run to open up the pass," "Pass to open up the run," or "Defense wins championships." The truth is, The NFL 2015 season should start seeing more emphasis on the run.

A Blast from the Past

/
In 2002, the Panthers defense was ranked 2nd behind the Superbowl winning Bucs. In that same year our offense was ranked 30th. Does this sound familiar? With a fearsome front 7 and spotty secondary Carolina added a few pieces to the team, namely Delhomme and S.Davis. Carolina's defensive line was its strength, along with linebackers Dan Morgan and Will Witherspoon. As stated, the secondary wasn’t tremendously talented or manned by household names.  Guys like Terry Cousins, Reggie Howard and Ricky Manning JR. found a way to get the job done, however. Carolina had a secret weapon in 5'9" special teams player Steve Smith, who turned out to be a bigger problem for opposing teams than his height. There's a lot of comparisons to be made but none more important than the return to the Superbowl. Go Panthers!!
