CAROLINA PANTHERS (Consensus division finish: 3rd)

ESPN - Team Preview: Carolina Panthers - NFL

Panthers are the hardest team to figure out in this division. They could be really good...or really bad.

I'm liking this Jeffri Chadiha guy already, Carolina have less talent than Saints IMO and about same as Tampa Bay, but I think they should be somewhat decent this year if they can injury free of their key players.

I'll give this to Carolina. They have two solid running backs in DeAngelo Williams and Jon Stewart. I've been waiting for Williams to get the ball more and for some reason they just didn't do it last year but when he did get opportunities he made the most of it. Also, Peppers is in a contract year and I think he's going to have a big year providing pressure on the QB. I bet he gets 10+ sacks this year.

If Dellome stays healthy than I think they might be better than the Bucs.

Jake got Muhammed back which will help him, and the running game should be a lot better. If that defense can get a little better, than I don't see what makes Tampa so much better than them.

Jake got D.J. Hackett too, but I don't know much about him except he's a stud on Madden Last year their D wasn't all that bad, just was on the field WAY too long. They were a D that bends but doesn't break, but you can only bend so far time after time before your spirit gets crushed & you just run out of gas. Last year they were probably better than the Bucs but they had no QB, I really wanted to play Matt Moore the whole time cuz David Carr & Vinny Testeverde were just ugly to watch. Carr's little white golf gloves were sad, and Vinny was just to old to get the ball downfield, while Moore at least knew he had to get the ball to Smitty to be successful.

Actually Carr's little white gloves were so sad, that they were classic! I hope he still wears them this year as well, just to laugh at him.

lol They looked so gay, and then all he could do to move the ball in our offense was run the ball, which he wasn't exactly a scrambling QB. I don't even know how he has a job anymore after last year
