NFL Rumors: Carolina Panthers Targeting Free Agent WR Mike Wallace?
March 4th, 2013 at 9:16 PM
Wide receiver is certainly a position of need for the Carolina Panthers heading into 2013.
Veteran Steve Smith, who turns 34 in May, certainly isn't getting any younger. Brandon LaFell and Louis Murphy have shown flashes, but neither has proven to be a game-changing wideout.
That leaves the Panthers in clear need...

October 29th, 2012 at 9:33 PM
I'm still trying to figure out exactly how the Carolina Panthers managed to lose to the Chicago Bears on Sunday.

Cam Newton: Will He Lead or Recede?
September 28th, 2012 at 1:00 PM
The Panthers’ 36-7 loss to the Giants was one of the most embarrassing in franchise history. Still, it’s only one loss – regardless of how much they were outcoached, outplayed and outclassed. I have faith that the inferior game planning, poor tackling and shoddy blocking can be fixed by head coach...

September 10th, 2012 at 9:15 PM
Somewhere in Charlotte, Ryan Kalil may be rewriting his Super Bowl promise. The Carolina Panthers looked more like a high school team than a Super Bowl team in their 16-10 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium on Sunday.
