Its gonna be a long season, but it should at least be fun to watch. Anything would be better than last year. I say we win five games.

9/4/2011 1:16:10 PM

Big Nig Newton!

9/4/2011 1:16:49 PM

Was going to post the final 53 man, but we're sure to make a couple more changes this week at DT, CB and OL. The good thing is we get first dibs on any player cut with less than four years experience.

9/4/2011 1:18:30 PM

Look sausley, you are making the rest of us look bad.

9/4/2011 1:21:31 PM

Andrew Luck sweepstakes round 2!

9/4/2011 1:21:59 PM

4-12

I just don't see how we score enough to keep up with a defense that figures to get pounded by pretty much everybody.

Newton should be an up and down rollercoaster all year from week to week. I hope he pans out.

I got a feeling the bottom of the roster is gonna be churning all year

Quote :

" CHARLOTTE – The Panthers claimed five players off waivers, including defensive tackle Marcus Harrison from the Chicago Bears. The 6-foot-3,316-pound Harrison has played in 37 games with nine starts in three seasons with the Bears, recording 55 tackles and three sacks. The team also claimed wide receiver Seyi Ajirotutu from the San Diego Chargers, safety Stevie Brown from the Oakland Raiders, cornerback Josh Thomas from the Dallas Cowboys and defensive end George Selvie from St. Louis. Ajirotutu, Brown and Selvie are second-year players, while Thomas is a rookie. Ajirotutu had 13 catches for 262 yards and two touchdowns last season for the Chargers and is familiar with Carolina's offense having played under a staff that employed Rob Chudzinski. Brown played in 15 games as a rookie last year with one start, while Selvie appeared in all 16 games with no starts, registering 21 tackles and 1.5 sacks. Along with Brown, the Panthers cut wide receiver David Clowney, defensive end Thomas Keiser, safety Kevin Payne and offensive lineman Bryant Browning. The most crushing blow is the Panthers gave up a first-round pick in 2010 to the San Francisco 49ers for the rights to take Brown in the second round in 2009, although they also got a fourth-round pick they used to get running back Mike Goodson. Still, it will go down as a horrible draft day decision by general manager Marty Hurney and former coach John Fox. Brown had two years left on his contract and was set to earn $535,000 in base salary this season."

9/4/2011 3:24:58 PM

I kinda hope the panthers finish last again, maybe the 49ers, Bills, or Seahawks will trade up to get Luck (or maybe we'll need Luck?) and end up with a good draft.

9/4/2011 4:36:09 PM

I kinda hope we don't ever finish last again

9/4/2011 4:59:08 PM

Def not hoping to ever see the 1st pick of the draft again (at least not from finishing last)

9/4/2011 5:02:44 PM

Our genious GM would skip Luck if he had the first pick. Probably trade it for a 2nd rounder.

We need more mobile FCS quarterbacks to play receiver.

9/4/2011 11:25:42 PM

9/4/2011 11:35:28 PM

signed Max Jean-Gilles. nice move.

http://www.gastongazette.com/sports/jean-60580-line-add.html

Quote :

"The Carolina Panthers signed free agent Max Jean-Gilles to fill a huge hole at right guard Sunday night. Jean-Gilles received a one-year contract, according to his agent Drew Rosenhaus. Terms of the contract were not released. Jean-Gilles spent the past five seasons with the Eagles, starting 25 games from 2008-10, but was cut after the season. He signed with the Cincinnati Bengals but was cut again on Saturday. The 6-foot-3, 320-pound Jean Gillis should help fill a void created when starting right guard Geoff Schwartz and then potential fill-in starter Garry Williams both went down with season-ending injuries."

9/5/2011 11:14:03 AM

Hangartner just brought back ... interior OL looking up.

Bring on a starting-quality DT and nickel CB and we're good to go

9/5/2011 12:31:29 PM

i was thinking he would be perfect to bring back, good to see

if memory serves me correctly, he can play guard in addition to center?

9/5/2011 3:21:28 PM

Yeah, he can play all over the interior. He possibly starts at RG against the Cardinals.

9/5/2011 3:37:44 PM

i just wanted to stop in and say I'm sorry for the upcoming season that you loyal Panthers fans will have to endure.

There is always Andrew Luck next year

9/5/2011 4:04:21 PM

fuck u

9/5/2011 4:06:28 PM

Standing pat at the corner position is going to be the downfall of the defense this season. I can't believe we didn't make at least one move there.

9/5/2011 4:54:20 PM

they did pick up a rookie CB cut by the Cowboys, but yeah it's the equivalent of not making a move

9/5/2011 5:17:50 PM

DT Marcus Harrison failed his physical. Paging Tommie Harris.............

9/5/2011 5:56:23 PM

Panthers sign Geoff Hangartner!

welcome home!

"If Rivera has a frustration with Newton it’s that the quarterback has not been a bigger personality. One day, as Newton looked especially frustrated, Rivera pulled the quarterback aside and said, “You can’t be hard on yourself.” Newton, he says, looked at him and said: “Yes, Coach, but you know why? Because in that huddle are a group of guys that are Pro Bowl players and guys who have been to a Super Bowl. I want to make those guys proud.”"

Darius Butler, finally a corner.

68 in Madden, can't be too good, but can't be worse than what we have.

9/6/2011 7:58:18 PM

got interceptions in his first 2 games for the Pats at the end of the 2009 season

got abused the first 2 games for the Pats last year and got benched

returned some kickoffs in college at UConn

9/6/2011 8:51:57 PM

he's Willis McGahee's cousin

9/6/2011 9:01:07 PM

Halfway there. Can't say I've ever seen Butler play, but I have seen our CBs play. Has to be an upgrade

Seriously, why the hell haven't we gone after a DT like Pat Williams, Tommie Harris, Jamal Williams, etc. Starting to get mind-boggling. Even if we can only get 20-25 plays out of them, it would improve our run defense ten-fold.

I'm excited about Cam, but Marcel Darius would be awesome in there right about now.

9/6/2011 10:27:10 PM

then we coulda signed David Garrard and Randy Moss and been a playoff team again

"Carolina Panthers Odds to win the NFC South: +3442 That line implies that the Panthers will win the NFC South only 2.9 percent of the time. 2.9 percent! Think about how frequently randomly bad teams have suddenly popped up and had bizarre seasons that won them a division title. The 2009 Bengals won the AFC North after going 4-11-1 the previous season. The 2008 Dolphins went from 1-15 to the AFC East title in one year. The 2007 Bucs went from 4-12 to 9-7 and the NFC South title. Would it really be that extraordinary to see the Panthers win the NFC South? Chances are they won't win the division, but it's absurd to think that they'll go 2-14 or worse again. Even Vegas thinks so — the over/under for the Panthers is set at 4.5 wins this season. Last year was a perfect storm of problems for Carolina, which was a respectable 8-8 team in 2009. Virtually every one of their above-average players got hurt at one point or another during the season. They lost star right tackle Jeff Otah and valuable linebacker Thomas Davis to season-ending injuries before Week 1 and never really replaced them. The team's running game dissipated when both DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart struggled with injuries, while wide receiver Steve Smith missed two games and hobbled around for most of the year through a high ankle sprain. Cornerback Chris Gamble, the team's highest-paid defender at the time, missed five games with an ankle injury of his own. The coaching staff gave up on quarterback Matt Moore, and general manager Marty Hurney didn't bother to stock a veteran backup, leaving the team in the hands of Jimmy Clausen long before the rookie quarterback would ever have been ready. By the end of the year, the only stars left standing were linebacker Jon Beason, left tackle Jordan Gross, and center Ryan Kalil. Most of the players we mentioned should be healthier in 2011, and the guys who took their place will have gained experience in the meantime. The entire NFC South seemed to take a leap forward in 2010, and while part of that was due to feeding on Panther carcass, they were also playing over their heads. We explained the concept of the Pythagorean expectation for football in the Falcons section of Tuesday's preview, but as a refresher, a team's point differential does a better job of predicting its future win-loss record than its actual win-loss record from the past. When a team's actual win-loss record surpasses what the Pythagorean expectation says its win-loss record should be, it tends to decline in the following season. Last year, each of those teams won more games than their Pythagorean expectation would have expected them to. The 13-3 Falcons were 1.8 games better than their projection, the 11-5 Saints beat theirs by 0.9 wins, and the 10-6 Bucs were 1.3 wins beyond their means.1 That means that the rest of the NFC South won't be as strong in 2011 as it appeared to be in 2010, and it makes the idea of a competitive Panthers team far less daunting of a possibility. With that in mind, their schedule should be a little easier in 2011. Last year, the Panthers got to play the NFC West, but they also had to suit up against the AFC North and finished up with games against the 11-5 Bears and 10-6 Giants. By virtue of being in last place, those games are against the Cardinals and Redskins this year, teams who seem unlikely to combine on a 21-11 season. While the NFC North comes to town, the Panthers should be able to compete with the rapidly weakening AFC South. As obvious as it was to make fun of Hurney's spending hundreds of millions of dollars to lock up the core of a 2-14 team, there is a fair amount of young talent here waiting to blossom. The Panthers will be able to slow down games and stretch leads when they get them, and the presence of Cam Newton could help turn the Carolina running game back into its previously dominant self, even if Newton struggles as a passer. Best-case scenario: The Buccaneers implode, the Falcons collapse under injuries, and the Panthers narrowly beat the Saints in New Orleans in Week 17 to claim a shocking NFC South title. This makes some people's happiness +3342. Worst-case scenario: Carolina suffers another string of injuries, and the combination of Newton and Clausen struggles so much that the team finally turns to its third-string quarterback … Derek Anderson. Can we get our money back on that division title bet?"

9/7/2011 3:56:37 PM

So there was some pointless story on ESPN.com about how Vick called Newton to give him some advice. Doesn't even say what advice he gave him, most pointless story I've ever seen.

But it did make me remember something. Remember when Vick first got out of jail and people were like "where do you think you want to play"

And he said he would love to play for carolina.

""He was giving me (advice) on what he thought I needed to do, as far as what I'm capable of doing," said Newton, the top pick in this year's NFL draft. "He's been through my situation. . Obviously he's a person that I idolize and whatever he says right now is golden.""
