Then again, that team also had so much weird shit happen to them with firing Harbaugh, surprise retirements, and the league figuring out the read option. For the Panthers, Cam might get even better, they don't appear to be headed for a mass free agent exodus, they tend to draft well, and they'll be getting Kelvin Benjamin back. Tough to see this team not at least being a contender for a few more years.

Division-wise, South's weak enough that I wouldn't be surprised if Panthers won it again. Saints and Falcons both have some serious issues that might take a while to resolve (Saints D, Falcons O). Tampa is a wild card since they are way too inconsistent to write off but at the same time experts have been consistently wrong about when their break out moment will occur.
