Official Carolina Panthers thread

Not in Charlotte anymore but I'll still go ahead and start this up. My outlook for this season is 7-9 wins, maybe or maybe not the playoffs. I can't buy into the offensive situation as it is, because Delhomme is going downhill and neither Foster nor Williams are stepping up. Still no tightend. O-line is suspect but should be better than last year, hopefully. Unfortunately Kenyatta Walker was signed and he may be one of the worst lineman I've seen in recent memory.

The D-line and LB core doesn't pose as much of a threat as they did in past years as Jenkins is above average at best, Morgan will get hurt again, and the rest of the LBs are just OK. Beason might or might not be the answer. Minter retiring was for the good of the team, but I still think Gamble is terrible and don't trust the secondary to make any big plays. Lucas is good if he can stay on the field, but aside from Peppers there just isn't a dominant defensive player.

I just don't have that good feeling like I did before 2005.

Prediction: 8-8

I think 9-7 or 10-6 may be a possibility. I hope so, anyhow.

To be honest every single player on the team sucked this preseason, so I haven't been able to make much distinction. He's lined up for a starting safety spot, so we'll see week one.
