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

      Malik Willis anyone

      By countryboi · Posted

      One thing I didn’t consider is how thin this draft is at quarterback. That’s going to drive up the market for backups and borderline starters like Willis, Jones, and Jameis Winston. Because of that, we’ll most likely be priced out of the market for this tier of backup.

      We've already beat the #1 seed twice, why not one more? (Packers and Rams were both #1 seed at the time we played)

      My determination has come down to this. Based on recent QB history, has Bryce's improvement warranted 50m per season? Lamar is the only original team QB to play on his 5th year. The others took major deals at the end of the 3rd, before or just after the option was signed. Chances are, we're getting asked for the same.  I haven't rooted for Bryce to fail. I've rooted for him to succeed so big that them signing that extension would give me no worries about our future at QB at all. We haven't seen that level of play consistently that this year. We haven't seen it in the past 6 games.  We're about to be at a threshold with Bryce and I worry about what this front office will do. We have a history of bad decision making and Morgan has been part of that group making those decisions. I don't want Carolina in the same boat Arizona and Miami are right now. It has nothing to with being right. It has to do with wanting to win for more than a single season. We've never had back to back winning seasons. Faith in their abilities is not warranted at this point.
