Cam Newton made Ted Ginn a #1 WR and revived Michael Oher's career. This was all done without Kelvin Benjamin.

Josh Norman finished with the lowest QB rating when targeted among all CB's. And there's not much more than can be said about the greatness of Luuuukke Kuechly.

The Panthers core is young and talented. Cam and Luke have signed team friendly contracts that will allow them to continue to build through FA. Dave Gettleman has drafted well and has an eye for talent

What team in the NFC South can truly compete with them? Outside of maybe Seattle and ARizona, what NFC team will stop them?

The dynasty begins now

Lol Saints could have beaten them twice, once without Brees, in a season where we matched our worst record in the Payton era. They're a great young team, but let's see how they fair in the playoffs first.

He has made them look good, but you better hope the Panthers' front office isn't foolish enough to think he can make them look better than they are next year.

Cam needs weapons. They need a talented runningback. Benjamin is a great redzone target but he has below average hands.

Green Bay is having a down year that resulted in 10 wins. I wouldn't count them out.

Carolina may very well be a NFC "dynasty", but you have to make moves in the offseason to stay on top. Complacency is a killer in the NFL.

Whoa there....pump the brakes. At least win a Super Bowl or 2 before beginning to talk about a "dynasty."

Alshon Jeffery has expressed he wants to play for Carolina in 16? Have been trying to figure out where he would fit with Benjamin and Funchess.

Not concerned about finding a RB through lower rounds in the draft or FA. Would like to see focus on O-line and Secondary. Also continue to shore up Special Teams play going forward. Joe Webb is a good but don't think he's a long term solution

Says who? Dude had 740 yards. Olsen is the #1 guy in CAR. But also, if your definition of being a #1 WR is being #1 on the depth chart of a team, thats a dumb thing to say because SOMEONE has to be listed #1.

No. Carolina has benefited a lot this year from turnovers (leading the league in both fumbles recovered and interceptions). They have a turnover differential of +20, compared to +3 last year. That's about 50% better than the next best place team in the NFL (KC with 14). That's not sustainable. They'll be good still, but I expect them to come back to earth once the turnover differential evens out a bit.

Look at stats like DVOA for a true barometer on how sustainable offensive, defensive, and special teams performance are.

Cam has the same number of playoff wins as Matt Ryan. Lets not get ahead of ourselves.

You need to win a couple of SB's before we can have that conversation, champ.

Are you trying to argue a team, that hasn't won a championship yet, is starting a dynasty?

Cam is an amazing talent, but you need an insanely good front office to accomplish that feat in today's NFL.

Agreed. I think OP was really just talking about the NFC and having a path to the playoffs.

The last "dynasty" was 4 year stretch of just loaded Patriot's teams that honestly, outside of the salary cap era, wouldn't have been considered a dynasty.

Meh. This is the NFL. Things don't work like that. No one will be shocked if they miss the playoffs next year

What does this have to do with anything? Congrats on almost winning twice.
