REcap of 2014 Statistics
In Carolina, fans have a lot to be thankful for, a lot to look for-ward to and a few concerns. We can be thankful for an amazing run last sea-son and thrill after thrill as Carolina showed everyone that they are a force tobe reckoned with. We are all looking forward to seeing our team stack up winswith a healthy backfield, a fresh receiver core including our #1 draft pick, #28overall in the 2014 NFL Draft, Kelvin Benjamin. There are some major im-provements at Bank of America Stadium, including escalators and tremendousnew screens at each end of the stadium. And then there are the concerns:Steve Smith #89, a longtime scoring leader and rabble rouser...is gone. ThePanthers GM Gettleman and owner Jerry Richardson are clearly advancing astrategy—and judging from the pre-season and win one in Tampa—we’re OK.
Cam Newton’s replacement Derek Anderson won his first start as aCarolina Panther (Anderson had one previous trip to the Pro Bowl) andpegged Kelvin Benjamin for KB’s first NFL TD.
But something else is missing: Jordan Gross—the stalwart left tackleand a leader among the Panthers has retired leaving fellow offensive linemanByron Bell in his position after working hard during the pre-season. And otherrookies and acquired players to fill in along the line. Returning are both of the2013 starting guards who went out with injuries early on:Amini Silatolu andGarry Williams—this is good news. Right up the middle we’ll have Ryan Kalil,the Pro Bowl center who keeps things in order for his QB. There is much to beseen about the O Line—the barrier between Cam Newton and 2,500+ lbs ofdefense on opposing teams.
Many question if Cam will be able to stand up in the pocket and makethe plays he needs to downfield. If not, we may be looking at another year ofCam on the run—exciting but not the solid, winning gameplan we’re after.
Ron Rivera, once on the hot seat, stood strong and delivered his Panther team to NFC South Championship status and earned two things in the process last season: the moniker of Riverboat Ron for going for it on 4th down* and NFL Coach of the Year in 2014.
So fans think back to years past and remember injuries,QB debacles, beginning play off lopsided, losing records and dig infor a season that promises to be warfare in the NFC South and one where you just-might-see-your-cats-go-all-the-way!
P H O T O S B Y S T E V E L I N D E N M A N
The Panthers will be powerful on the ground with Newton, Stewart,Williams and Tolbert all healthyand ready to literally roll over
would-be tacklers.
