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

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
