The Carolina Panthers are coming off a good season all things considered in 08' with a 13-3 record. Nothing wrong with 13-3, but their playoff performance looked like a completely different team.
The Carolina Panthers are coming off a good season all things considered in 08' with a 13-3 record. Nothing wrong with 13-3, but their playoff performance looked like a completely different team. The Carolina Panthers were a dangerous football team in 2008. Armed with one of the best wide receivers in the game (Steve Smith), a great quarterback (Jake Delhomme), and arguably the best running back in football in 2008 (DeAngelo Williams), the Panthers were dangerous. The Panthers second half of the season schedule is brutal - at New England Patriots, at New York Giants, at New York Jets, and at New Orleans Saints. The Panthers offense is one of the lowest ranked in the NFL - with a WR like Steve Smith one would assume that couldn't happen. The Panthers are underachieving greatly and time is not on their side to turn things around quickly. Their competition in the NFC South is the Atlanta Falcons and the high octane offense New Orleans Saints. Can the Panthers turn their season around? Yes they can because they do have the talent to do so. The Panthers need to create more turnovers on defense and give Jake Delhomme more chances to use WR Steve Smith, as of now, Steve Smith isn't even on the radar as one of the best wide receivers in the league. It was just a couple years ago when Steve Smith was a MVP candidate. If the Panthers expect to compete in the division they must improve on defense or otherwise quarterbacks Drew Brees and Matt Ryan will destroy the Panthers defense. WR Steve Smith is one of the best play-makers in the NFL but has been forgotten and seemingly an after thought. They don't have many other go to targets, so Steve must step up and mesh with Delhomme as quick as possible. The Panthers travel to Dallas for a week 3 Monday Night Football game. Is an 0-3 start in the cards? About the Author: Talk with other Panthers fans on RootZoo's Carolina Panthers free chat and check out their football trivia.
