I see more strengths than weaknesses on the Panthers. I also see a lot of threats going into the season that have not been adequately addressed by the team. As long as the strengths hold up throughout the season and the opportunities I see are realized, then we will never encounter the cracks in the team's foundation.

I talk about all areas of the team. Most readers seem to focus on the negative and ignore the positive. I am rarely engaged on any of my strengths and opportunities of the team. Most seem to focus on my belief that the depth of the team is not sufficient enough for a strong next man up organization, or that I view one of their favorite players as a weakness.

I hope that helps.

 

 

Threats that were not adequately  addressed? So all the negativity is because Gman did not build the team the way you wanted, or we don't have All Pro depth at every  Position? You have to know that is a pipe Dream? Right?

 

We currently have the deepest team we have ever had. Sure, some corps. may have better depth, but there is defiantly a whole bunch of talent on this team.

 

Personally, I applaud Gman for the job he has done/is doing, putting a team around Cam. But, then again, I have faith that our DB position is stronger than  most folks think, and that the group is solid, with a chance to be good. 

 

We may not be perfect. But, we are still one of the  best teams in the league. And I just think that fact should not get lost in all this critiquing.

 

But, maybe that is just me.

 

We are young, we are skrong, and we are still improving. Giddy is not really a strong enough word.

They're freaking jinxing us. Just like Superbowl week. :(

 

 

....that wasn't a jinxing. It was a screw job by the NFL themselves wanting to see ol Forehead manning ride off in the sunset. The Panthers inexperience had a lot to do with the loss but all the non calls that killed drives and momentum were too much for us to handle. I'm not going to sit here and say that the Denver Defense isn't good, but they sure did have a lot of help from the refs in several instances. 9 times out 10 we beat them, scratch that, annihilate them, but they chose the right day to come out and play and we chose the wrong day to be scared of success, plus the horrendous refs.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
