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.
