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

      The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman.

      And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!

      If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
