What talent does carolina really have, a rooie head coach, a couple bad and overate QB's,. Deangelo Williams will be gone in the next week or since the only thing left is for the players to say yes to the new agreement and he's the most sought after free agent running back available, people were even trying to trade for this guy last year so they wouldn't end up in a bidding war for him, steve smith has already demanded a trade, and teams do want him, no no running threat or passing threat when those 2 are gone. Peppers is gone no no real pass rush anymore, and a average secondary, but a very good LB core. So a rookie QB and a eookie head coach, with all there best players gone, no run or passing threats, besides Newton and Stuart, a average d-line, a good Lb core and a ok secondary, thats questionable at times is going to start to in now, NNNNNOOOOOOOO i don't see that coming. Even almost if not all the analyst think carolina will have the No 1 pick in next years draft bc there nothing great or winnable about this team, especially when your by far the worst team in your devision, where you will get sweepted by the Saints, Falcons and Bucs, so that 6 losses right there, and Newton will start slow so add atleast 2-3 more losses, honestly if they win 4 games it shouldn't be considered a bad season for them!

What talent does Carolina have?
Rookie QB Cam Newton - High potential IRL, Heisman winner
RB Deanglo Williams - Pro Bowler
RB Jonathan Stewart - Starter quality back
WR Steve Smith - Pro Bowler
WR David Gettis - Watch him, promising 2nd year player
TE Shockey - Pro Bowler
LT Jordan Gross - Pro Bowler
LG Trevell Wharton - Solid G
C Ryan Kalil - Top5 NFL C
RT Jeff Otah - Solid RT
DE Charles Johnson - Julius Peppers who?
OLB Thomas Davis - Pro Bowler
MLB Jon Beason - Pro Bowler
OLB James Anderson - Solid OLB, sought after FA
CB Chris Gamble - Top15 NFL CB
Rookie Head Coach
Who was the DC for the Bears during the Super Bowl, and for the Chargers the last few years.
D'Will is leaving
Based on? Carolina has the 2nd most money to spend in the NFL
Steve Smith demanded a trade
No, he didn't. He said if things don't change he wanted a trade. Carolina isn't going to let him out of Charlotte unless someone wants to dole out some high draft picks.
Yes, he cleaned out his locker... just like a lot of NFL players did when they got locked out.
Anything recently on this front? NOPE!
Your theory = No running, or passing threat
I'd hate to lose D'Will, but Stewart can take over with little loss in production, especially being backed up by Sutton and Goodson.
If Steve Smith is going to be traded Carolina will go out and grab a #1 WR in FA. Plus, they have one of the newest dual-threat QBs in the league. Teams are going to have to treat him closer to Mike Vick or Vince Young, opening up the passing and running game.
Most of the experts think Carolina will end up with next years #1
I watch ESPN and NFL Network all the time and haven't heard that echo'd once. A team with a 12-4 record, and an 8-8 record in 2008 and 2009 didn't fall apart simply because Jake Delhomme left town. 2010 was all about coaching, and the complete lack of it. John Fox was a lame duck coach, deal with it.
Carolina will get swept in the NFC South
I think Carolina gets swept by the Saints, but they have a chance to get wins against both the Falcons and the Bucs. Neither of those teams run an offense that will bury the Panthers.
4 wins will be considered a success
I personally don't think 4 wins is a success for Carolina. There are 5 teams on their schedule that I think are lower tier teams this year. Carolina should be able to win at least 3 of those and then sneak 3 games or so from the mid-level teams.
If Newton can take care of the ball, the ceiling could be closer to 8 wins.
