Oh, How Things Have Changed.

I usually do not post things like this, but wanted to share.  I was on Facebook today, and looking at the "on this day" app when I noticed a post I made 2 years ago today.  The post read:

It has been 4 years, 9 months, and 26 days since the Panthers have had a winning record. This could all change on Thursday! For the first time in my son's life, the Panthers might be over 500!!!!!!!

After that Thursday, the Panthers would go on to win 9 of their next 10 games, and make the playoffs.  The following season, they would again return to the playoffs.  This year, we are 5-0.  Not to mention, the Panthers have the longest active win streak in the NFL.

We have put together a great system here in Carolina.  Gettleman-Rivera-McDermott, hell, even Shula. So excited about the direction this team is going.

People here underestimate the power of continuity and to a lesser extent, program culture.

 

I never felt under Fox that we had a strong program culture starting from the staff and making their way down. 

 

Rivera, Richardson, and now Gettleman; they've been trying to instill a culture for a few years now, and it's starting to pay dividends.  All the best football clubs have longstanding cultures that outlast the careers of players, and I finally feel like we're starting to establish that here.

hoping we can put together back to back winning seasons next year

 

achieving franchise milestones one season a time

Have to have a winning 2015 first, but the team is well on their way to checking that box.

I'd flip those, as continuity of mediocrity will only yield more mediocrity. Gotta get the right program in place first, then carry it from year to year.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
