This dataset records every single play from the 2015 regular season and breaks each play into over 60 categories. During the 2015 regular season, without a doubt, the most successful team was the Carolina Panthers. Lead by Cam Newton and a stifling defense, the Panthers dominated their schedule, finishing the with 15 wins and only one loss (best in the NFL). After putting them through my model, I found that they also had the highest YLS% at 80.8%. Despite their offensive and overall success, Joe…
On Wednesday the Carolina Panthers sent shockwaves through the NFL world when they decided to resend the franchise tag on cornerback Josh Norman making him an unrestricted free agent free to sign anywhere. Personally I think the Panthers made the right move in letting Norman walk and I think it will benefit the franchise presently and in the long run. The Panthers sent a strong message with this move showing they will not be pushed around and/or mortgage the future success of the franchise for…
The Carolina Panthers are enjoying their bye week in the best position possible at 4-0. The last time this team was undefeated was 2003; when we made it to the Super Bowl I'd say that is good karma. Many around the league have called us “the worst undefeated team due to the lack of competition we faced early in the year. My response to that is we don't make the schedule and the reality is in any sport anyone can win on any day. I will echo head coach Ron Rivera's sentiments when he said we are…
Carolina Panthers quarterback and reigning NFL MVP Cam Newton continues to make headlines for all the wrong reasons. After the Panthers’ much-needed 30-20 victory over the Arizona Cardinals this past Sunday, Newton threw down the gauntlet against NFL officiating crews for putting his safety in jeopardy with missed calls on questionable hits. However, Newton’s claims have already been debunked. Henceforth, he should focus on adjusting his game to mitigate the hits he does experience instead of…

The Carolinas would have been a good choice for multiple reasons one of which colonist were given headrights by the government for moving to Carolina. A headright means they were given land for settling in the area with this land would make it easier to start a farm or plantation in order to become prosperous. The Carolinas’ land was very fertile and good for growing crops and there was also a harbor making trading an easier task. The land was especially fertile in South Carolina so I would…
