Cam going to smash lol.

Yeah, I'm not trying to rain on any parades but I'm not gonna let my hopes get too high either.

That's always going to be the case on a team coming from the bottom, though. We are acting like we have arrived because we have something to look forward to again. It was hard to be optimistic during the Rhule era. I don't disagree with you, but they way I see it is, we have nothing to lose by being happy/optimistic right now. It may be the only enjoyment we get if things DON'T work out. Let the dreamers dream imo.

We need a lot of of new pieces and rookies to work out. Yeah, there's potential there by it seems like some Panthers fans are acting like we've arrived and we definitely have to prove that on the field. Most of the teams on our schedule are probably looking at the game against us as a game they should win. That's just gonna be the reality until we prove otherwise.

I'd say they did a good job fixing the o-line. Our running back room on paper looks good to me. WR group is the most exciting we have had in a long while. Thielen said it was the first time since he has been here that he doesn't know who will make the roster and that the floor is raised. Our defense looks very different than last year with a clear focus on stopping the run which was a huge weakness. They can only do so much at once. I think we have plenty to be excited and hopeful about.

We have a lot of issues. We're just hoping that we may have some of them fixed. We still got a see it play out on the field first.

Thanks for sharing. I haven’t gotten all the way through but it seems very in depth. I don’t know much about this guy but like the fact that he is high on the panthers and optimistic but did not let that really play into his rankings. I think 28 is a good stake in the ground. I would question the credibility of anyone ranking this team higher than 24/25.

I feel like we had more issues back then, though. Whether you like the regime or the plan, they do seem to have a plan. Revamping the team group by group and building something. I am admittedly overly optimistic when it comes to the Panthers.

Coker is a 6-3 215 possession WR at this point. He had a near 70% catch rate and was really good in contested catches situations. He is pretty sound fundamentally, and he seems to be very intelligent and self disciplined. As the fourth WR, he will get his opportunities and I see him more of an AT II if XL and TMac develop as expected. BEHIND him (at the moment) we have Renfrow, Horn, and Moore. The bottom line is this: WR depth is usually based on the confidence the QB has in you. When the game is on the line, the QB will find the guys he trusts. For example, Mingo and Marshall did not get many balls--you could say they were not getting open, but it could also be they had not earned the love.

We definitely don't. I'm just saying that we didn't when we were concentrating tons of resources into RBs either.

It's a very floor level ranking, yes. I think the big takeaway is that he believes we need a lot of young players to step up in order to really make any ground up. He's not wrong.

lol thank you. Everyone’s a genius after the fact

Times have been dark buddy. We haven't had a winning season in 8 years. 2 out of 8 sounds like an improvement. Nostalgia may be clouding my perception a bit, but let's not act like we have our poo together lol

We were? We had two winning seasons out of DeAngelo's eight with the team.

That is a different discussion, though. I don't disagree, but I think they are trying to get back to our former identity and become a tough, hard nosed, run first team. If that is the case, the pick makes a lot more sense. We were deadly with a one-two punch as much as I dislike D-Will.

We did not have the luxury of rolling the dice though. Most of the board wanted the center (Frazier) that made the all rookie team.

I feel like this is a crazy take. Obviously the plan wasn't for Brooks to get injured again. You really believe Dan doesn't care about 2nd round picks? He was taking a risk, hoping it would pay off big. Brooks was the first running back off the board. They obviously saw a ton of potential there. Life happens sometimes. You can't view things in hindsight and act like you knew them ahead of time.

wasn't her because I follow her too. lol relax

I don't think you could ask for a more thorough look at each and every aspect of the Panthers. Personally I think it's the most in depth Look at our franchise by any media aspect ever. Really deep look at almost anything you can ask for.. I love this guy. Nothing but pure Panthers glory and knowledge from someone who attended the games and knows ball. I mean the guy goes on for like 2 hours. Kuddos to this man who temporarily lives in Charlotte last year and says the Panthers are his second team and home.

I believe. Thus season is going to be a joy to watch. The first of many.

I definitely can appreciate the enthusiasm but for right now I'd just like to see a much improved team culture and maybe a winning season and go from there.

Yep. It's the right move IMO. We have more depth at IOL and BC's skill set plays better at OT despite his measurables saying IOL.

Yosh Nijmon is basically the only other guy they have that has shown he can play tackle behind the starters. It makes sense that Brady's being used more at Tackle with Mays and Zavala improving and Corbett being healthy. Those guys will play center or back up our guards more than likely.

Yeah legs were sore for a day. There wasn't too much mosh pitting at Metallica, a couple popped up but most people just gave them a look and they backed up and it ended fast. But yes, next time probably seats lol.

Alright. Well...Fitz giving it all she's got Captain. I see no flaws thus far.
