So excited.  Such a great story.  Love the connection our teams have formed.

Hope this inspires the Panthers afresh to go out and win the Super Bowl this year.  Obviously we won't be the underdog or a Cinderella story like LC this season, but still... to overcome the Super Bowl hangover and become the first team since the 72 dolphins to win the SB after losing the previous year... that would be something truly special!  (Even better if we go 19-0 and break the 'Phins perfect season record in the process!)

This is literally like the Browns winning the SuperBowl this year...

Except for people are actually happy for Leicester City.

The crazy thing is that the Browns are 200-1 to win the SB this year. Leicester was 5000-1 to win the Premier League.

I actually think the odds of the Browns winning would be way better. The way the Premier league works this is an incredible achievement for a team that was widely perceived as a punching bag for the rest of the league at the outset of the season.

Yeh but I don't really think 5000-1 was (obviously in hindsight) as out of reach as 200-1 is for the Browns winning the Superbowl. Given in the last 20 years teams like Leeds, Blackburn and Newcastle have all got to touching distance of the premier league title, and I can't remember the last time there was a completely shocking superbowl winner, I think those odds are too far apart.

I would put the chances of the Browns winning the superbowl closer to 2000-1 if the odds on Leicester at the beginning of the season was 5000-1.

Leicester barely avoided getting relegated last year and fired their manager before the season even started. Historically the BPL is one of the least competitive leagues. Prior to this year, Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Arsenal had won every league title dating back to 1994.

I would agree that the Browns chances of winning the SB should be worse than 200-1, but Leicester City winning the title is the greatest (no exaggeration) underdog story in history.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By CRA · Posted

      99% of my complaints generally are front office complaints.  It may not appear that way always but that's where I have been for some time.   It's also why I constantly talk about random parts the last several years....  to this day, if they were going to draft Bryce Young....I thought they needed to do specific things.   They have literally done the opposite.   In a certain world, I would LOVE an AT.  A Bryce Young.  An XL.  All sorts of people.  How they have chosen to put it all together here? Meh.  I still think if Bryce Young is your QB....the easiest and obvious play for a team....would be a dynamic slot WR, a rec RB, and solid rec TE.  Spread it out.  Let him be the point guard.  I still think this team is being built for a different type QB....one that a Jake Delhomme style QB would thrive more in.  Which is in fact the heart of what Canales has been around and done.  So I nitpick it all.  If I had thought Bryce Young was going to rebound....I would have NEVER been all in on XL like I was.  I was all in XL because I thought the BY experiment was about to over quick.  Ladd would have made way more sense if you believed in BY IMO.   I don't think this team did.  I think Dave drafted XL because they were mentally ready to move on and did after 2 weeks.  and I thought the Frank think was bologna from the jump.  I just have hate the pairings and plan every since Rhule year 1.   Rhule year 1 was the last time I really thought this team was in a good place to give it a go.  It went horribly.  But....the zoomed out plan was pretty logical all around.  Rhule just was not ready and a clown on top of that.   I still think the Dave, BY, XL, Tmac build 3 round pegs and a square one at the end of the day.  Worst thing to happen to BY was to land in Carolina IMO.   Which is often how the NFL plays out.  Where you land and what the org does matters probably more than raw talent/ability often.  I do not actually have a problem with Adam Thielen in a vacuum.  He is overperforming in a vacuum all things considered.

      Bryce Young could throw for 40 tds and 4500 yards this season and my gut instinct still says you would triple down on hating him.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      They should just be predetermined slotted contracts.  I feel like that was the intention of the current system, but they left too much room for interpretation about guaranteed money.  I agree though.  You play for who drafts you or you don't play.
