4 Carolina Panthers

Or two. The Panthers, 1--15 in 2001, went to the Super Bowl two years later; they were 7--9 in '07, 12--4 the next year. It's hard to imagine 2011 will be a quick-fix season: new coach, rookie quarterback, new offensive and defensive systems. But this is a franchise convinced it had the talent in-house to return to the playoffs. This fall we'll begin to see if that judgment was right.
