I am more excited for this season than I was last season.

The writing had been on the wall for a long ass time about the old regime. Everyone knew it would be another year of more of the same. Mediocre football at best, 2015 being the anomaly. Sure, we tried to be optimistic, but deep down we knew. 

 

Now, we have no idea what to expect and that is exciting. Instead of old players on the decline, we have younger players on the rise. It is a totally different feel and I dig it. 

 

Anywho, just wanted to post some optimism. 

 

I do believe there will be a season. I do believe it will be fun as hell to watch. 

 

Love,

 

JI

If Cam can sign to a competitive team it’ll be great watching our young guys develop and hopefully Cam having a productive season that builds up his career. 

I get that. 

 

Personally I never really follow a player once they leave Carolina.

I'm curious to see the approach of the new staff and the systems they're going to install. I'd be lying if I said I expect more than 4-5 wins though. I'm cautiously optimistic about the future, but I expect a steep NFL learning curve from the staff and young talent, especially given this year's unique off-season preparation.

I think Rivera could’ve gotten it done if DG hadn’t been fired. 2017 was DG’s roster, so in DG’s time here we had 4 out of 5 playoff seasons, 3 of which made it to divisional round or further. Those two actually had a solid thing going. Rivera and Hurney in 2011, 12, 18, 19 was an absolute disaster. Glad Tepper blew that up but we still need to get rid of Hurney...

I will very very passively root for them to do well if they go to an AFC team (not the pats), like I enjoyed seeing Smitty play great in Baltimore at times. But yeah generally don’t follow them. Love TD as much as anyone but I didn’t see, hear or read a damn thing about him last year in LA. With Cam I guess it would depend on where he goes. If he winds up in JAX starting somehow and they absolutely suck I won’t pay one bit of attention. But if some starter got hurt on a top team and he came in as the replacement and the team is good and on national tv a lot yeah I’d follow him a bit more.

I think it is OK to expect 4-5 wins AND also be excited about the upcoming season. I think we all expect things to be bumpy in the beginning, but at least there is new direction and potential to move past the mediocrity once the foundation is built. That was not going to happen without blowing it up and starting over with the young nucleus of talent that we kept.

I loved Cam and I appreciate what he did as a Panther, but I agree it is time to move on and focus on what we have. I wish him well except when he plays the Panthers. And, in a way it will be refreshing to go through this journey with the real fans of the Carolina Panthers who will be here through thick and thin regardless of who is on the roster.

That's me as well.  I watch them if it's a nationally televised game, but otherwise I don't really care.

that’s really funny bc i don’t remember seeing a lot of ppl disillusioned about the franchise and begging for change besides me and a few others last summer

everybody here was drinking kool aid and acting like the panthers just pulled off the best offseason in the entire league in 2019

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
