I continue to get excited as I learn more about our team. Otah can dominate in this league. I don’t have any insider info, but I’ve always been over optimistic. There is no reason he can’t dominate the way Marcus McNeil did in SD as a rookie. Our OL is going to dominate. There are a few things we have to look at, the little things, to understand how we’re going to dominate. First of all, we’re just more talented on the line. Wharton was a pretty solid tackle, and will be even better at guard. If a fast rusher gives Gross an inside move, they’ll run into Wharton. Kalil is better, we have much competition at the guard spot, and Otah is the real deal, too. But let’s take a deeper look. Imagine shedding the Otah block in time for Stewart to put his helmet on your chest. Jake’s arm is stronger and he has more weapons, including a pass catching TE, so he’s going to release the ball quicker. With Stewart and D-Will averaging 5.5 yards a carry each, Jake’s play action will be a gem, especially when some over age OLB is trying to cover our 3rd receiver, Hackett, in the flat. This season is going to be unbelievable. Think about it. We have improved at every single position on the field. We were 7-9 last year, not 1-15. We were only 2 games out of a division title with four QBs, none of whom threw for 1000 yards, a starting RB with 3.5 yards a carry and more fumbles than TDs, and only one receiver who could run, catch and compete. Let’s get it on…that’s all I’m saying.

I think the trade for this guy was an amazing trade. If you think about it we basicall
traded a first for a first. we got an earlier first and most likely the eagles will get a 25th-32nd choice. then we gave up a 2nd and a 4th. So now we had two first rounders this year instead of one this year and one next year and we got a franchise running back what will be a franchise tackle. Do you think we really think we had a better chance of getting a franchise player with a second or fourth round pick or a 28th pick of next years draft. I personally don’t think so. I think this was a great deal for us, one that will send us to the super this year.

JStew is my favorite player on the panthers thats why I took the name. It would be awesome if any panther player would speak on the blogs though.
To add on to the Otah pick I think that it was a best pick for the panthers out of just about every tackle that was in the draft. He is one of the biggest tackles that was in the draft and has a mean streak that a good tackle needs. unlike last year Delhomme won’t have to worry about any side of the line so he will have more time to find open receiver. This helps the running game open up. With two first round running backs. Both of who I think have pro bowl talent. This teams offense will be unstoppable. The only thing we need now is get our defense to make more tackles which we made great strides with the pick of dan connor and godfrey. I Can’t wait for the preseason to start.
