It looks like the Carolina Panthers are destined for third place in the NFC South.
Tampa Bay has played consistent football all season (and already owns a win over Carolina), and the surging Saints appear to have their offense in top form. The Panthers, meanwhile, have shown no ability to get the ball to Steve Smith in the crunch (or at all) and may start Matt Moore at quarterback next week.
Let's get this straight. Jake Delhomme goes out with a season-ending elbow injury, David Carr gets his back messed up, Vinny Testaverde's improbable return gives the Panthers a win, but then he gets injured, and Carr suffers a concussion against the Titans.
Yes, there are lots of things Carolina could and should be doing better, but this might be the most injured team in the league overall. Remember, in addition to the quarterbacks, Dan Morgan has missed lots of time (shock), Mike Rucker is coming off a major knee injury and several other players have been nursing minor-but-nagging injuries throughout the season.
It's been a weird year for Carolina. I thought the win against St. Louis in the opening week would set the tone for an 11-5 season. When the Panthers lost the next week to Houston, I was sure they were a 6-10 team. Therein lies another problem. The team is so inconsistent week to week.
This week? It looks like a 7-9 team.

I think it is a dream now to go 7-9!
7-9 doesn't look like it is going to happen anymore. The bags were out at Bank of America field yesterday vs. the Saints. Most original: the guy wearing the one made out of a Tidy Cat kitty litter bag. How much longer do you give coach Fox?
I saw that guy wearing the Tidy Cat bag. The bad thing is the bag was still full, desperate times for the Panthers.
Read some old posts, it seems some guy named Dave Kingman got many mentions, could he help the Panthers????
I think Kingman could really help the Panthers. Not sure if he would sign though. He could probably play about anywhere, but they could really use him on special teams, especially kick returns. I found this on youtube:

Does anyone know where King-Kong can be reached?
That is one cool video. Did he make it to the Hall of Fame yet?
Do you think Barry Bonds or Steve Smith could compete with him?
