the Panthers will win super bowl 51

[the greatest]

yesterdays game illustrated a very important lesson.

If you don't come out hot for what you want from the very first snap, the other team will. and as Luke put it, they will "step on you".

 

If the panthers jump on the opportunity that this offseason with the tenacity and vigor that was missing from the offensive and special teams units yesterday, we will win the super bowl. 

Not winning the game was painful but it was a growing experience. They've been to the big show, they've seen the lights, they've heard the noise, they've experienced the love and they hate and how quickly people, and the two facedness. Transcending and blocking out these additional burdens and distractions and focusing on playing football on that field on that night at a higher level than the player facing you.

 

Addressing the wide receiver position has to be done this year, I see that everyone is enticed by Alshon but I'm sure that that man wants to get paid.

Travis Benjamin could be a reliable and explosive receiver that cam and the team could have confidence in. And for him leaving Cleveland for Carolina would appear a dream.

this is the offseason to snag a wideout a. because of the obvious need for talent and depth and b. because next years free agents aren't much better. In 2018 Sammy and Odell become free agents but why wait that long when we should win this very next super bowl. And besides by then who knows, we might still snag them.

 

as important as wide receiver is the right tackle position. Again it needs to be someone that cam can trust. He's been on the run his whole career here, let's get him some protection so that he can throw super bowl touchdowns into his twelfth and fourteenth year.

 

addressing the josh norman situation. I believe that josh is a great corner with still more room for improvement(which is exciting) (2 dropped ints in the super bowl). playing with our dline and linebackers provides an opportunity for success not found in many other work environments throughout the nfl.

I think what plays out will be determined by josh himself. Does he want to get paid, or does he want to build and win a championship here? because I don't see Dave gettleman overpaying for a 28 year old corner especially with the viable corner options available through free agency. If he doesn't franchise tag him I wouldn't be surprised, and josh may take it as I slight but based on his reaction at the end of the Super Bowl the man seems to care about winning. 

 

Safety is another position that will be addressed. I could see us going with free agent vet help here but I wouldn't be surprised if we used our first two picks to fill any of our positions of need.

 

running back, defensive end and linebacker close out, what should be the offseason before the Carolina Panthers first nfl championship.
