NFL Preview: Carolina Panthers

RANT #1 Pick a State! I know you Carolinas are essentially a lesbian couple but c'mon, I hate regional monikers that either combine locations or are misrepresented. I'm looking at you New England should be Boston Patriots, New Jersey Jets/Giants and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, San Jose, Sacramento, Davis, Encino, Covina, Tiajuana.

QB: D+ Sorry Jake, the magic ends here. You got obliterated in the playoffs and it was all your fault. No bouncing back. Josh McCown should probably be starting.

RB: A Fantasy embolism DeAngelo Williams teams up with Jon Stewart to create the leagues most injury prone and disturbing tandem. FANTASY TIP! Somebody is going to overpay for both these guys. Let them, you'll be happy about it later. Williams in the 2nd sounds about right.

WR: B The Tobacco City Cobra and the Prophet are an awesome 1 - 2 but Smith is already hurt and Muhammad is getting old. At least nobody got punched yet. Scary lack of depth.

TE: C Jeff King and Donte Rosario are both average. I suppose Rosario has a bit more to offer than King. FUN FACT! Rosario may be the most feminine name in the league.

OL: B Jordan Gross, good, Jeff Otah, good, everyone else, meh.

RANT AMENDMENT! The exception to the regional name rant is the Golden State Warriors. Awesome name.

DL: C Until I see Julius Peppers play like somebody who isn't trying to get traded or a new contract, then I'll upgrade the unit.

LB: B Diggs and Beason are both above average and also should have a inner city cop show together. Thomas Davis is already hurt, so that isn't good.

DB: B+ I like Gamble and Marshall because they can both tackle. Takes pressure off the safties who aren't as good.

P/K: B John Kasay keeps rolling along. Do I know the punter? No. Is that good? Yes.

COACHING: B I like John Fox and he coaches a good game but if he gets burned by the Cajun Rash, he has nobody to blame but himself. You're on notice.

BEST CASE SCENARIO: 7-9, 3rd in the SOUTH. I'm really down on Delhomme.

WORST CASE SCENARIO: 4-12, 4th in the SOUTH. If Williams tanks and Smith isn't 100% this team sucks out loud. They might anyway.
