The secondary hasn't been upgraded at all, which is a concern in their division. Cam Newton better put up a lot of points.

They haven't done much to help the roster, which leaves some holes on defense. They better draft well.

After a step-back year in 2012, I think the Panthers will be ready to push for a playoff spot. Cam Newton came on strong in the second half and looked comfortable throwing it.

I think Ron Rivera did enough to warrant keeping his job. This team isn't far away.

Ron Rivera probably has done enough down the stretch to keep his job. They aren't far away from being good.

Cam Newton is on fire. I think Ron Rivera will keep his job -- and he should.

Cam Newton has really played well the past month. He has been lighting it up.

They just aren't good enough on defense. Teams gash them with the run. They need help on that side of the ball.
11/27/20122728
Cam Newton looked like the 2011 Cam Newton against the Eagles. But can he do it again in back-to-back games?

The Panthers don't know how to hold leads under Ron Rivera. That could be his undoing if they make a change.
