In a short amount of time, there are already a few announcements to be made on the Carolina Panthers, regarding defensive end Julius Peppers, the status of special teams coordinator, and the future of quarterback Matt Moore.

I was going to wait on the outcome of Super Bowl XLIV, but why wait? The New Orleans Saints have been an amazing team to watch all season.

In this edition: Pro Bowl additions, and the “Bank” hosting an event of International proportions.

Not as scheduled (unfortunately we hit a glitch somewhere that delayed this post–my profound apologies), today we will take a look at the quarterback position on the Carolina Panthers. Understandably, the quarterback position was a hot topic in 2009.

Scratching the surface: Mike Goodson, Tony Fiammetta, and Tyrell Sutton. Mainstays: DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart Respectfully On the Decline: Brad Hoover This first series of analyzing the Carolina Panthers, will cover the running back and fullback positions.

I wrote this piece a while back on another site, but it was a pretty well-researched article, and since things do have a tendancy to get passed over with the large expanse of information on the internet, I wanted to share this piece with everyone one more time.

The latest update on the Carolina Panthers, is special teams coach  Danny Crossman was the first coach of the Carolina Panthers to lose his job in 2010. The decision by the Panthers was a curious one, and according to Panthers’ GM Marty Hurney, “an extremely hard decision.” With Crossman as the special teams coach, the unit had stability among it’s kickers.
