Yea its July but pre season is next month and regular season is the month after, we're getting pretty close in my mind.

I was wondering how exactly people here define a successful season after coming of an 11-5 years.

Last season was weird to me b/c we finished with a great record but got 3x swept by the Saints and lost in the WC playoffs.  Nice record but we had an embarassing loss to the Bears and did jack all in the playoffs after missing it the season before, and losing the SB season before that. 

I know we have new offense this year and we still havent quite figured out our WR core, so I'm trying to realistically curb my expectations a bit. Id love to get a SB but how realistic is that? 

I would say, its a successful season if we win 2 playoff games. Winning a WC and getting ousted in the divisional, or even going 16-0 and losing the divisional will not satisfy me. I basically think it would be great if we could make it to NFCCG. 

Thats just what i define as successful. My realistic view of what will happen? I think we go 10-6, win the WC, and lose in the divisional.

You’ll get mostly “anything less than a super bowl is a failure” answers to this question from the huddle  

My answer is always the same. I just want to make the playoffs and have a shot come January. You can’t hoist the Lombardi unless you are one of those twelve teams in the tournament. Being one of those 12 teams constitutes a successful season in my eyes.

Good reg season record and competitive playoff run. I picked get to NFCCG but if we win wildcard and then lose a close one to MN or somebody I wouldn’t necessarily consider it a failure. I do think though that we’re getting awfully close to the point of SB win or bust every year with this staff and Cam and Luke...

I will be disappointed if we don’t win the division though after it should’ve been ours last year despite the Aints sweeping us.

Agree

But i voted to get to the SB, I want to relive that 2 week build up again and the energy of the game itself, even with the shite outcome that was great fun.

Cam is firmly in his prime and won't have his running ability for much longer, so anything less than a Superbowl win at this point would feel disappointing. Good chunk of the key players on this team have been there and the Panthers were a solid team in 2017, it's not out of the question.

The more I think about this, the more I conclude that a winning season would make this season a success. That would mark the first time in team history that they had successive winning seasons.

That's a low bar. Especially considering the QB is almost 30.

....except that in the history of the franchise it has never followed a winning season with another winning season. Breaking that trend will be a solid accomplishment. I believe they have a great chance to escape that hallmark of consistent inconsistency.

      Maybe a weeeee bit exaggerating. I think he will be a great player. But that doesn’t look like someone that was super committed in the weight room during college which is just a little confusing. Maybe he cut some weight to try and run a better 40. We saw Julio come into the league a little skinnier, get bigger/stronger and really start dominating. Strength and size is important as a big physical x receiver. It’s not so important for the Devonta Smith role

      Panthers schedule is out

      I've watched literally every single snap of T-Mac's career, there isn't a person on these boards who knows his game better than I do.  And I'm telling you, he is a great fit for what Bryce does well, period. You keep talking about these "get open quick WRs" as what Bryce needs, but I couldn't disagree more, because it blatantly disregards what Bryce does best. AND NO.... that's not me saying we don't need any "get open quick" type of WRs, I've long said we still needed one of those in addition to a true outside #1, but it's not the only type of WR that can be a successful pairing with Bryce. Bryce's biggest strength is his mental side of the game, he reads defenses and plays chess instead of checkers.  That type of QB doesn't need to rely on his WR's to quickly create acres of separation because their mental side of the game will mean they are going to put the ball on the WR when they create even minimal separation, as he's going to anticipate it and throw the ball before the WR has even made his cut on the route. AND THAT is where and why Bryce and T-Mac are a great pairing.  When you have a guy with T-Mac's hands and catch radius, he doesn't need 5 yards of separation to get open and have Bryce then get the ball to him.   Bryce is going to be throwing the ball before he even makes his cut, so even if all T-Mac is able to do is create 1 yard of separation, the ball is getting to him when he creates that and because of his hands and size, he's plucking that ball out of the air before the defender even has a chance to close that 1 yard, because the ball is there as soon as T-Mac creates the room and turns his head.

      Ticket Prices

      By toldozer · Posted

      I read an article a few days ago that places like Seattle green bay and a few others are revoking tickets rights to holders that sell 100% of their tickets. That would do a lot of good league wide for bringing back some home field advantages. We aren't the only team who's stadiums get over run by visitors. It happens basically everywhere. That would go a long way to bringing ticket costs down
