Panthers 2011 Record 6-10 Overall NFC South (2-4)

Considering I heard some analysts say that Blaine Gabbert would have been picked before Cam...Mr. Protect this House didn't do that Bad. I mean Gabby was pretty sacred in J'Ville right?

The Panthers know what they have and their Signal Caller is a MAN-imal if I have ever saw one. Now expectations are there what is Cam to do...Better or have the Proverbial Sophomore Slump as they call it. Well before its all on him they still have the Best Two-Headed Monster on Sunday in RBs DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart. Cam should just make sure they get at least 30-35 Carries per and see what the D will do then on Play Action.

The Wide outs are led by Half-Pint Sized but Heart bigger than anyone he will ever face Steve Smith. Opposite of him is former #GeauxTigers WR Brandon LaFell. They also picked up a 3rd Wheel in Tampa Florida Native and former Gator Louis Murphy from the Mad Max Beyond Thunder dome Crew in East Bay near Planet Oracle. Tight End Greg Olsen is a Pro Bowler in the making. And of course the O-Line is led by none other than All-Pro Ryan Kalil and OT Jordan Gross.

The Defense still needs some fixing but as long as #52...Jon Beason is in the Middle the Panthers won't be completely out of sorts. Hopefully the Injury Bug will also stay away from former UGA Standout Thomas Davis as he has had some Freak Injuries in the last few years. The D-Line has to be able to either Stop the Run or Rush the Passer period

The Back End is led by longtime Island Chris Gamble of High Street Columbus, Ohio Fame. SS Charles Godfrey anchors Safety ply and sometimes your Secondary is as good as your Pass Rush as that holds true here in Queen City, NC.

Key Players and Free Agent Acquisitions 2012:

QB CAM
WR S. Smith
RB Williams/Stewart
TE G. Olsen
OT J. Gross
C R. Kalil

NT R. Edwards (2012 FA Pick Up Arrowhead)
MLB J. Beason
WLB T. Davis
CB Chris Gamble
SS C. Godfrey

The Offense will be Explosive once more and I think Cam will duplicate or even be as good as he was in 2011. Smith will be Smith but they would love to see LaFell or Murphy or both take pressure of of Smitty. Cam's Safety Net is right behind him in Sunday-Made Backs Will and Stew.

The D will have to be able to bend but don't break. Jon Beason and Thomas Davis will have to be formidable and get something out of the Front Four. They tried last season out scoring Teams and on Sunday it won't work if that's the Formula the Panthers will have to resort to again in 2012.

Key Schedule Dates in 2012:

Sep. 9 @ New Sombrero Tampa
Sep. 16 Who Dat Nation
Sep. 20 Gotham City Blue
Sep. 30 @ Bird Cage 404
Oct. 21 America's Team Texas

Oct. 28 @ Monsters of the Midway
Nov. 18 Bucs
Nov. 26 @ the Linc
Dec. 9 Dirty Birds
Dec. 30 @ NOLA

The Schedule is middle of the road as they have the Tough NFC East as well as the Bears and Broncos. The Division alone has the Saints and Falcons ahead of them and you would think the Bucs are improved just based on a New Head Coach in Schiano.
