There are a few huddlers here that are telling everyone to temper tbere expectations a little, pointing out the neither TB or the Lions are very good teams. TB does look pretty bad, and Detroit has always been erratic. One thing the lions have been consistant. at since they drafted Stafford ib 2009, is scoring.

The Lions have averaged 26.4 last year and the Panthers held them to 7.

I for one will not temper my expectations, this team is special and I firmly believe we are a force to be reckoned with

I think I was reading Barnwell's picks for this week and he said something like "The Texans, Raiders, Jaguars suck, the Seahawks are elite, and the other 28 teams can beat each other any given sunday". It's a pretty good summation that we can't always look at a team and think we'll beat them. That being said, I have faith in our team to make the playoffs 2 years in a row.

at this point, a healthy dose of confidence stained realism is a god thing. 

 

be realistic: its a long season. Panthers have played inconsistently on offense and in the secondary. history is still against us until its not. we've only beat TB and Detroit to this point. we still have the hardest part of the schedule to come.

 

be confident: the Panthers defense is exactly what we thought they would be, even without Greg Hardy. the Panther's offense can put up points when they are in rhythm. it wont be long until the Cam-led Panthers offense will be in-sync right out of the gate. opponents that we thought would be strong have REALLY struggled thus far this season.

 

i believe in this team. i believe they are for real. i believe that, based on the way the rest of the NFC South has played, the Panthers have the best shot at winning the division. i believe the Panthers will go into their week 5 matchup with the Bears sitting at 4-0. but the games get tough after that for seven straight weeks. 

 

temper your expectations, but be confident. this team can hang with the best in this league.

I am very pleased by how the defense has stepped up and how the offense has dug itself out of ruts to put up points but its a long season and we are only at the tip of it. A lot of good teams which are very consistence on offense and I hope that the panther offense is able to capitalize more when they have the ball cause the defense can only do so much. I just want to see more consistency in the offense and not to allow plays with huge loses which end up stalling drives.

I am all for confidence even at 2-0 but as long people and the team understand its only the beginning, they're still improvements that need to be made.

The Panthers held one of the best, even if very inconsistent, offenses in the NFL to 7 points yesterday. With that defense, there's not going to be too many games this year that the Panthers don't have a chance in.

It's a long season. The roles of the Saints and Panthers are completely reversed from a year ago. I don't expect a collapse from the Panthers, but I expect (hope) the Saints get better. I'm hoping for a tight division race down the stretch.

Oh it's gonna happen. The Saints will to remember how to win just like the panthers figured it out for the first time in this new era.

I agree with everything you said, except i will not temper my expectations and you can't make me. lol

All joking aside, the element that has me most excited is the play of our secondary to this point, before the season started I would have been happy if our secondary played = to 2013 squad, all indications point to a much better unit.

I think we shut down an offense yesterday that had a better than average QB in Stafford who happens to be throwing the ball to the best receiver in the game. Johnson made some good plays but his performance was not spectacular. Defense really got to them.

........and Tate was totally shut down.

For the first time in my life I feel like I don't have to worry about what team is going to show up on Sunday. Inconsistency is a thing of the past. This team works hard day in and day out. Then they ball out. Ready for Sunday and can't wait to watch the Panthers drill the squeelers right in brown eye.

      I definitely respect your opinion more than Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and Carmelo Anthony (whom I just watched on their show, all saying NOBODY wants to get the Hornets in the post-season). You win.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      By TD alt · Posted

      For all the good feelings about Bryce Young, when you read between the lines, it's what DC says and doesn't say that makes us know that Bryce hasn't necessarily been the supercomputer that they thought he would be. This season, Bryce has to make a tangible progression on the field. "A big part of it is being able to operate at the line of scrimmage — not in the huddle — when we want to, and he’s certainly capable of that," Canales said about Young. "It’s not solely on him. It’s a group that’s pretty young. You have to trust all the guys to go up there, communicate verbally or nonverbally and execute what we’re doing. We’ve made huge strides in that regard. His ability to alter things based on what they’re giving you will give us another edge, which he’s continued to grow and had some great examples down the stretch where he identified things they were doing, got us to the right check and capitalized on some plays. Want to see him do that more when it’s appropriate. We don’t need to be changing things just to change it." The implications, perhaps insinuations, are pretty evident. Bryce is just going to have to do better. "And then for Bryce, it’s the identification of early on the cues that the defense are giving us, to be able to eliminate parts of your progression before the ball’s even snapped. That happens with time. I’ve seen quarterbacks really own and master, which allows them to play lightning fast." Obviously Bryce isn't necessarily picking things up as fast as Canales would like, and I can only assume that Canales is making comparisons to Russell Wilson, Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield. But, of course, not everyone picks things up at the same rate. Bryce's pace has left Canales wanting for more. During the coming season, I don't believe that it will be good enough for Bryce to start putting things together in December, evidence of the light switch being on is going to have to show itself in September. Basically, it's really the moment that we've all been waiting for, the one that we thought should've happened earlier, the one that brings Bryce's accountability in the spotlight. On an off note, perhaps to that end, we should consider the possible implications upon the draft, but that's another story. Basically, it's time for Bryce to sh¡t or get off the pot. https://roundtable.io/sports/nfl/panthers/news/carolina-panthers-dave-canales-holds-nothing-back-on-bryce-young-in-new-interview
