Quote:The Panthers are #3 in offense and #5 in defense. So there goes that argument.

Not trying to get in any "argument" here:

IMO, the Cardinals offense is the better unit, while the Panthers defense is the better one. They are both outstanding units.


Obviously,, the Panthers offense and Cardinals defense are terrific units in their own rights.


But:

Better Offense - Cardinals

Better Defense - Panthers


As long as Palmer and Newton stay healthy,, both those teams have excellent shots at getting to the Superbowl.
