Peppers misses out on $2 million - (12/18)

Julius Peppers? silent season has cost him at least $2 million in the short term and, possibly, a lot more in the long term. The defensive end?s failure to be elected to the NFC Pro Bowl roster cost him at...

Looking to the future, garnering some hope? - (12/18)

Since John Fox came in as head coach in 2002, the Panthers have jumped back and forth between making and missing the playoffs.

Gross makes case for Pro Bowl - (12/17)

It's been written several times that with wide receiver Steve Smith far down in the reception rankings and no one else lighting it up on offense or defense, that the Panthers are likely to have no Pro Bowlers this season....

Finally giving us Moore ? Panthers beat NFC West champ Seahawks 13-10 - (12/16)

Alast!  Rookie quarterback Matt Moore got the practice reps and then the start fans have craved for weeks.  By no means did he win the game for the Panthers, but he made no turnovers, and coupled with a dominating defense, Carolina gave its fans a second home victory, 13-10, on the season. Conditions in the stadium [...]

Panthers' report card after beating Seattle - (12/16)

Youth movement begins - (12/16)

The youth movement won?t be limited to Matt Moore at quarterback. Rookie defensive end Charles Johnson and rookie receiver Dwayne Jarrett will be active today. Jarrett?s active partly because Keary Colbert?s hurt and partly because the Panthers want to give...

Weighing in on baseball scandal - (12/15)

Starting QB Moore has pros, cons - (12/14)

With starting quarterback Vinny Testaverde not practicing again Friday, the likelihood that undrafted rookie Matt Moore will get the call for Sunday?s home game with Seattle increases dramatically. This could be good or bad; good, because Moore, who has already...

Why not start DeAngelo Williams? - (12/12)

Random observations: -- It's not going to solve all the offensive problems, but why not start DeAngelo Williams and give him 15 to 20 carries a game for the last three weeks? DeShaun Foster's already shown he's not a true...

Vick's dogs didn't get a plea deal - (12/10)

Just curious; what do you guys (and gals) think of Michael Vick's 23-month prison sentence? I know it was within federal guidelines and all that, but it kind of bothered me that the feds let Vick enter a plea. If...

Jags punish Panthers - (12/09)

The fewest points of any team in the NFL this Sunday (or Thursday, and probably Monday, too).  Embarrassing. The first half looked promising. Carolina kept up and was so close so many times to a potentially game-changing interception. But in the second half, Jacksonville poured it on, outscoring Carolina 27-0 to ultimately win 37-6. Vinny [...]

Bridges out - (12/09)

Bit of a surprise. Jeremy Bridges, who has been the starting right guard since Week 3, has been declared inactive for today's game. Bridges woke up this morning bothered by an abscessed tooth. That likely means second-year pro Geoff Hangartner...

Nelson making impact for Jags - (12/08)

Many observers expected Carolina, in obvious need of safety help at the time, to draft safety Reggie Nelson with its first-round pick in April. Instead, the Panthers traded down and scooped up linebacker Jon Beason. That has obviously worked out...

Rookie wide receiver Dwayne Jarrett will miss Sunday's game in Jacksonville with a sprained right knee. Jarrett had an MRI on Thursday afternoon. It showed no tear and surgery is not being considered at this point. Running back DeShaun Foster...

Garrard: It's good for young QB to sit, learn - (12/07)

Smith's role diversifies, to team's credit - (12/04)
