What A Difference A Season Makes

After last years house cleaning, everyone, including the players, thought carolina would not be a good team.  Luke himself said as much to Thomas Davis.  Gettlemen was being laughed at for wiping out the receiving corp.  This off season is different.  The general consensus from what I have read across different websites and reported from the mainstream media is that Carolina will be good next year and most likely three-peat as NFCS champions.  Free agency hasn't even started yet and already Carolina is being touted as a team to beat next season.  You know, I like this.  This team can only get better from here on out.  I'm getting that super bowl tingle and its a great tingle.

Don't we all love the offseason?

 

I will say, I'm very hopeful for 2015 more so than any other season.  Cam's getting better (I'm not worried about him being resigned, it will happen).  Our young guys have more experience.  We have a few holes (OK, still the glaring LT hole), but we bring back a lot of our main contributors back.  We finished well, even with the 2nd half shalacking we got in Seattle.  Gettleman will get a LT for us and he will add more talent.  I think our coaches are better than we give them credit for considering what this team has achieved in the past two seasons.

 

I hope we can enjoy a fun and successful year!

    • I see progress and improvements. We aren't the same team we were even at the beginning of this year. You want to harp on the past while I am all about the present and future. Do I know thinks are going to be great moving forward? Actually I don't but I prefer to look at the good instead of the bad. Since he is surely going to be the QB the rest of this year barring injury, I am going to root for him to succeed instead of fail. I always said if we are going to finish at 500 for the year I prefer we win at home since I will be there and want to see wins and crying opposing fans like the cowboys. So far mission accomplished. Now we have to show we can win on the road.
    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
