PANTHERS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Carolina Panthers Fantasy Football Projections
QB Cam Newton (Carolina)
Cam Newton could be overdrafted based on what he did last year. He’s still a strong QB1, but I think there’s a good distance between him and the 4 quarterbacks above him on this list. Anyone who expects him to rush for 14 touchdowns again doesn’t understand football. The all time leader in CAREER rushing touchdowns by a quarterback is Steve Young, who...

Beason comes to Newton's defense
Jon Beason may not play offensive tackle, but he's certainly not afraid to protect his quarterback.
Beason, the Panthers' three-time Pro Bowl linebacker, fired back Friday at San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith via Twitter after comments he perceived were a slam on Carolina teammate Cam Newton.
Beason wrote, ''Alex smith, don't hate on Cam (because) your...

Top 5 Linebackers in the NFL
Patrick Willis, San Franciscon 49ers
A recent ranking of linebackers by an NFL analyst motivated me to create my own top five. We will be taking a look at just every position and ranking the top five in the NFL. For today though, lets take a look at the linebackers.
5. Jon Beason. While Jon missed most of the 2011 season due to injuries, but he still should be considered one of...

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 look for ways 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.

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...

According to the Charlotte Observer, Carolina Panthers linebacker Jon Beason learned last week that he wouldn’t be participating in OTA’s after rupturing his Achilles early last season. The Panthers are taking things slowly, rather than rush him back and possibly cause a set back.
Beason said his Achilles feels “great,” and that he was disappointed...

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.

Panthers' Steve Smith knows why NFL players are broke
Year after year you always hear stories of professional athletes going broke. No matter how much money some of these players make there will be at least one that has a sad tale of wasting or mismanaging scores of money.
Carolina Panthers receiver Steve Smith usually isn't the voice of reason, but he has a pretty good reason of why players are going broke.
“Mismanagement...

Can Cam Newton avoid the ‘sophomore slump’?
This offseason is crucial to Cam Newton’s development as a pro. He was special as a rookie in 2011. The Carolina Panthers QB threw for 21 TD’s and rushed for over 700-yards while racking up 14 scores on the ground on his way to the offensive rookie of the year award. Give Carolina some credit here [...]

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....

Cam Newton will leave us saying Michael who?
It’s hard to look at Cam Newton’s success with the Carolina Panthers and not try to compare him to Michael Vick. No other quarterback in the league can do what Newton can do with both his arm and his feet but Newton has qualities that are already setting him apart from Vick. The most obvious

Panthers’ Jeff Otah is not guaranteed a starting job
There was a time when Jeff Otah was one of the best right tackles in the game, young, and a former first round pick. However, thanks to knee injuries, Otah has missed all but 4 games over the last 2 seasons. He declared himself 100% earlier this offseason, which should be taken with a grain of salt, especially after he did the same thing last offseason. However, Panthers Head Coach...

Cam Newton resurrected the career of Steve Smith
When the Carolina Panthers drafted quarterback Cam Newton in the first round of the 2011 NFL draft wide receiver Steve Smith must have been at least a tad bit worried. Smith, a Panther since he was drafted in the third round, has seen 11 different quarterbacks since his rookie year in 2001.
In his 11 NFL seasons he has had his ups and downs with the organization, but coming off...
