Panthers LB corps packed with potential
It's still a little early to characterize the linebacker situation in Carolina as an embarrassment of riches. Heck, because of injuries to two projected starters, the Panthers' linebacker corps was an embarrassment, period, at times in 2011. But coach Ron Rivera and coordinator Sean McDermott seem to be pleased with the potential for the unit to dramatically improve...

Panthers try to find a way to motivate Otah
They've waited for him to heal, and hoped he'd keep himself in shape.
But the Panthers latest attempt to get something out of right tackle Jeff Otah was evident when they lined him up with the second line during the first week of OTAs. They used former undrafted rookie Byron Bell with the first team, leaving the former first-round pick as a reserve.
In one respect, it makes...

Jon Beason puts Alex Smith in check for Cam Newton crack
Alex Smith bristled at a question about the 49ers’ poor passing yards stats last season, and responded to a reporter on Wednesday by saying passing yards are an overblown stat. His argument included a shot at Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, who won Offensive Rookie of the Year last season.

Ron Rivera: Cam Newton won’t succumb to sophomore slump
There have been several forces working against Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton this offseason.
The first was the “Madden Cover Curse,” which Newton seemingly avoided by losing the vote to Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson.
Now, fans are worried that Newton will fall victim to a “sophomore slump” after putting up ridiculous numbers during his rookie season.

Captain Munnerlyn’s starting job with Panthers in danger
The Panthers have a lot of hope for the future with quarterback Cam Newton and had a very successful offense because of him, but their defense was the cause of their 6-10 season. A big part of their defensive struggles was their 8.4 YPA allowed, highest in the league. #1 cornerback Chris Gamble was solid, but their other cornerback, Captain Munnerlyn, really struggled last year....
