The starters play into the 2nd half and give the fans their first real glimpse at what the team will look like when the season commences. The Panthers played their third preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens last night. Their performance in that game does not bode well for ... pcannon@injtech.com (clemsoncannon) Carolina Panthers 2009-08-31T08:40:23-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/panthers/14320 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/panthers/14320 The biggest concern for the Carolina Panthers entering the 2009 season was a lack of depth at several key positions including both offensive and defensive line. Now the injury bug has bitten early and often in this preseason and has shown a light on some glaring deficiencies in this Panthers team that may lead to their downfall in 2009 unless some of the youngsters on the team mature quickly and ... pcannon@injtech.com (clemsoncannon) Carolina Panthers 2009-08-25T07:30:26-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/panthers/14298 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/panthers/14298 Let me start by saying that I generally put very little faith in what I see during preseason games. These games are largely meaningless, usually little more than a glorified scrimmage game. Teams run very vanilla offenses and most of the game is played by guys who will see little or no playing time in the regular season. However, the game on Monday night did not bode well for the Panthers as ... pcannon@injtech.com (clemsoncannon) Carolina Panthers 2009-08-20T09:40:24-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/panthers/14197 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/panthers/14197 There is both good and bad news for the Carolina Panthers as we approach the 2009 season. The good news is that the Panthers will start the season with 20 returning starters from the 2008 team that finished 12-4 and won the NFC South. The only starters not returning are CB Ken Lucas who was cut in a salary cap move earlier this year and DT Maake Kemoeatu who suffered a torn Achilles tendon on ... pcannon@injtech.com (clemsoncannon) Carolina Panthers 2009-08-05T10:25:59-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/panthers/12273 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/panthers/12273 This is not what John Fox needed as he enters the 2008 season on the hot seat in Carolina. Steve Smith, the onetime NFL bad boy who had seemingly cleaned up his act and his image, suffered a relapse and went ballistic on a teammate again, and Fox had no choice but to suspend the receiver in an effort to maintain control of his team.

A petition started by Panthers fans through a group called "Fans 4 The Logo" has been circulating, garnering over 1,700 signatures from fans calling for the inclusion of the team's logo on the Bank of America Stadium turf.

After two years sharing time with Foster, it looked like Williams would finally get to carry the rushing load full time. Well, that lasted all of two months. Now Williams, the team’s first-round pick in 2006, is looking at yet another backfield timeshare system after the ... ccluff@comcast.net (Chris Cluff) Carolina Panthers 2008-05-05T01:53:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/panthers/11029 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/panthers/11029 Let's take a different tack this year after Day 1 of the draft, shall we? It takes years (or at a season) to see how this talent will all plan out, injuries happen, personality conflicts arise ... a million things can take place before opening day, much less Hall of Fame Day 2027, so this year, sobriety will rule and no immediate knee-jerk reaction will be presented here.

Carr only made it through one season of a two-year deal worth $6 million. He was relegated to third string after he threw for three touchdowns, five interceptions and a miserable 105 yards per game in the six contests he ... info@realfootball365.com (Hugo Guzman) Carolina Panthers 2008-02-29T21:49:41-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/panthers/10477 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/panthers/10477 It looks like the Carolina Panthers will have both tackles back next season. Just a couple of days after cutting linebacker Dan Morgan and guard Mike Wahle to gain salary-cap space, the Panthers cemented a deal with Travelle Wharton that will keep the left tackle in Carolina for the next six years. The deal reportedly is worth $36 million, with $12 million in bonuses and $19 million due to ... ccluff@comcast.net (Chris Cluff) Carolina Panthers 2008-02-18T01:07:49-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/panthers/7690 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/panthers/7690 The Carolina Panthers have a lot of decisions to make this month as they try to figure out how to fix a team that finished 7-9 and out of the playoffs for the second straight year.
