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."

Ted Ginn a #1 WR


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.

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.

you poor fool. You've not only jinxed your team, you've set yourself up for ridicule and bashing for as long as your post here

We could sit here all day and list "dynasties" that never were. Teams loaded with great young talent, that unlike the Panters to date actually won something (85 Bears, 86 Mets).

Holy shite... Pump the brakes, homie. The only thing this Carolina "dynasty" has won is a division title and home field advantage.

Panther fans post tripe like this then get offended when no one likes them.

Relax Sally.

Saints nearly beat them twice, once without Brees. It's not like the Panthers are the Niners from 80's or the Cowboys in the 90's.

ETA: The Saints almost winning is directed at the comment from the OP saying "who in the South can compete with them". Evidently the Saints and Falcons can, sooooooooooooooo......
