Carolina Panthers



Here is a team that absolutely destroyed everyone in their path last year with the exception of the Broncos at Superbowl 50. The team seemed overawed by the big stage (Von Miller helped out a bit there thou I guess) Cam Newton established himself as one of the best players in the league winning the MVP, he was also just named no.1 on the top 100 players list!

Cam Newton is almost a complete player at QB, he has a great arm, he is tall helping with vision down the field and he runs like a big TE when needed. Newton threw for 35 touchdowns in 2015, had 600 plus yards rushing and 3800 plus yards passing the ball. Compare that to Tom Brady who rushed for 53 yards. Cam is up there with the best! I can see him coming out and continuing the same form again in 2016.

Kelvin Benjamin is back this year after suffering an ACL last pre-season, this is a massive bonus for this team. His rookie year was outstanding, he went for 1000 plus yards and 9 TD's. Hopefully the ACL does not hold him back from his 2014 form. Doing it so early in pre-season gives him the best chance to make an impact this season.

Greg Olsen is coming off another dominant year where he went back to the Pro Bowl. He and Cam have now become a great pairing with Olsen able to put up big numbers. He is one of the top TE's going around today and he will be a big part of their success this season.

Luke Kuechly, probably don't really need to say much more about this guy. The linebacker will have another Pro Bowl year where he will be selected in the top 50 best players in the league.

The Panthers have a pretty easy schedule which I think provides them a clear run to home field advantage. I see them going 14-2 this year. Can they take out the Superbowl? Im not sure but I think they will be one of 4 teams that can.
