5 Stats the Carolina Panthers Need to Change in 2014
1.
29th
in Passing: The non-existent air attack of 2013 will have to be improved
upon if Carolina hopes to repeat as NFC champs against the high powered New
Orleans “Ain’ts” and the big body Tampa Bay “Sucs.” Carolina averaged only 190 yards/game in the
air last year. This wasn’t because of inconsistent
quarterback play either. Cam Newton completed
61.7% of his pass attempts with only 13 INTs. Carolina was simply one
dimensional in 2013, and that dimension was the defense. Carolina’s defense will keep the Panthers in
games this season, but the offense will need to win some as well.

No Receivers, No Problems for the Carolina Panthers: Are the Backs Poised to Breakout in 2014?
By Dan Rawlinson, UK
Dan writes for UK sports site, the Sports Breakfast. You can find his work also at http://danrawly19891.wordpress.com/
The Carolina Panthers offseason has been dominated with negative talk about their lack of a certified wide receiver, but what of the running backs? At one time, the Panthers running corps was a well oiled touchdown machine. However through a mixture of injury and offensive style changes, its numbers have dwindled slightly over the past few seasons. Could this season be the year they reaffirm their status as one of the best backfields in the NFL? I'm here to explain why it could just be.

Back in 2008 & 2009 Jonathan
Stewart and DeAngelo Williams earned themselves the nickname 'Double
Trouble'. In 2009, they both rushed for
more than 1,100 yards and scored 17 touchdowns between them. Fantasy players
even took to drafting both as at least one of them would always get you a
touchdown. Since 2009, the pair’s numbers have declined, with neither hitting
the 1,000 yard mark again. In fact, in the four seasons since 2009, their
combined figures make 4,820 yards. In 2008 and 2009 their combined figured were
4,601 yards. So why do I believe that this downward trend will stop this year?Thursday, July 3, 2014
Panther Offensive Players due for a Breakout 2014 Season
Through my knowledge of Panther football I’ve generated a
list of players who I feel will have a year that will propel their name to a
higher tier. This list consists of a variety of players, some who a few Panther
fans aren’t too familiar with and others you guys might feel shouldn’t be on
here. I wanted to put some big name players on the list because I’ve been
keeping an eye on their offseason and believe like these guys could possibly
register one of their most productive seasons yet. A few rookies even made the
list.
C3 Podcast: Was Cam Newton Lucky He Outranked Luck in the NFL Top 100?
The C3 Crew brings on Drafttek.com's Rick McGlothlin aka ColtsDrafter and Jake Arthur, Editor/Indianapolis Colts Beat Writer for @IndySportsRep, to tackle the question. Let the fan debate continue as we anticipate this upcoming season. The guys will also discuss the Colts and Panthers 2014 outlook in relation to the two young quarterbacks, Andrew Luck and Cam Newton.
How Do The Panthers Make You Feel?
We’ve spent time over the past week discussing our disdain for other teams and we’ve discussed curses. Bottom line is that we wouldn’t care about any of that if we didn’t love our team. So why do we love the Panthers? Cool colors? Nice guys on the team? No, though those things do help, I love my team for how they make me feel. The recently departed and much respected Maya Angelou said it well when she said, “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” So below are two games that without research I didn’t remember the score or the yards or who the starting 22 players were, but I certainly remember how they made me feel. I’d love to hear a few from you, PantherNation.

My Take on Cam Newton's Ranking in NFL Network's "Top 100"
NFL Network's Dave Dameshek actually, finally made some sense for once and lifted himself out of the role I had slotted him into since I knew the man existed - that of the network's clown.
More on that in a moment.
