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.

      Another Win

      Kalkbrenner and Sion James received regular contracts and not two ways, so the Hornets have some work to do to cut the roster size down.

      Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
