I heard Deon Sanders make a comment a couple weeks ago that completely got under my skin.  When asked about Ryan Kalil's prediction, he laughed, and said it would never happen.  He made the statement that the Panthers wouldn't even make it out of the NFC South because there were three teams in the division that were better than them.

My question, and try and give an unbiased response, is where does the 2012 Carolina Panthers stand in the NFC South right now, and how do you see the division shaping up at years end?
