Panthers

Can’t imagine many players or even coaches are too happy about this news, but starting next season we will see Thursday Night Football early as week two. The main goal in Commissioner Roger Goodell’s eyes appears to be to get every team in the NFL exposure on primetime television throughout the season. All 32 teams will play at least one game on Thursday Night, including all playing at least one of those games following a Sunday game. OOUCH! At his “State of the NFL” conference earlier Friday this was one of several topics Mr. Goodell discussed, though to me one [...]

A quick forward… Making Mock drafts at this point in the season is very tough as the jury is still out on a lot of these players. But to those who enjoy playing “Fantasy-GM” before they go to bed, or pour over their madden franchise, this one’s for you…

I try to keep up with all news concerning the Panthers. Most of the time, I write off an article as something to feature in On The Prowl, but sometimes I come across a piece that needs to be featured. Cam Newton received a lot of criticism about his performance at the Pro Bowl, but no one really praised him for what he did. By the time he took the field, the pace of the game had changed from the Offensive and Defensive Lines dancing around like a Pop Warner game to a full blown football game. While Aaron Rodgers [...]

The Panthers have 16 players that will become free agents this year. However, none of the guys on the list would be viewed as guys that Carolina has to retain. There’s a couple players I’m sure the Panthers would like to have back as far as depth goes, but all these guys are expendable. That’s a good thing too, because Carolina spent a lot of money last offseason on retaining a couple potential free agents (Charles Johnson and DeAngelo Williams) and we’re also active in the free agent market. Here’s a list of the players who could become free agents: [...]

…and that’s about it. As reported by Scott Fowler of the Charlotte Observer, the new logo will be added to the uniform, and that is about all that will change.

As we all know by now, the Panthers’ new logo was actually leaked by Nike in reference to their new gloves. In a hurried move, the team released the new logo. So now that we have all seen it (If you haven’t look directly up) I want to know how you guys feel. So feel free to vote however you deem necessary.

Lst night Carolina Panthers introduced their new logo to the public. Josh Sanchez of Fansided’s own NFLSpinZone.com, informed me of this as Nike revealed the new gloves for each team. Carolina’s gloves look a little off when he posted them, so that sent red flags flying. Here’s a picture of the gloves from the Pro-Bowl: For comparison purposes, here is the older logo: Notice the bolder style of the new logo. So for those of us that recently bought a new jersey, we now have a throw-back. Well, it is a cool new look, and the might be rolling out [...]

Cam Newton will always look back at this first experience in the Pro Bowl as a blessing and reward for an outstanding rookie season, or at least it started that way. I will say again it was an accomplishment getting to the game in the first place, it shows his individual achievement throughout a productive season, and hopefully for him he is selected to many more. Yet, with that said, I don’t think Cam is too happy about how he played in the game.

1. Indianapolis Colts Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford When healthy, Peyton Manning is still arguably the best quarterback in the game, but with his age and health concerns the Colts don’t have a choice: they have to take Luck. However, its almost a lose-lose situation for the Colts, because if they take Luck everybody will be saying they’re disrespecting Peyton Manning after he put that team on his back for more than a decade. But if they don’t draft Luck, then they are saying they don’t care about the future of their franchise. 2. St. Louis Rams Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma [...]
