I digress from Sports Illustrated's opinion that this team will be a real contender. They have a good shot at taking their division, but Atlanta will be a real challenge this year, even with that hybrid QB/RB that they have!

I'm always leery of predictions. Do you remember that SI predicted the Panthers would win it all in '05? So, all I'm saying is that ON PAPER Carolina wins.

Keyshawn Johnson was a good addition that should help give Jake Delhomme another option that compliments Steve Smith very well. Their depth at running back is great with Foster, Going, and rookie DeAngelo Williams. Carolina's defense is always strong, and there top unit, the D-Line, should be even better with the addition of Maake Kemoeatu at DT.
