The Panthers are fun, and the future is bright!

Coming out of my abyss of college-work and fear for this season to state some of my thoughts so far. So many questionable moves, hard choices, and a huge mood shift as fan favorites were cut/retired and the team showed a dramatic change in appearance.

One thing that I've questioned is how this regime will bring in the change needed to win. At first, I thought it'd take a few years to even see the vision Rhule has.

But well, man, he's surprised me.

Wow, I cannot begin to describe how amazed I am at how this team is performing. It's like night and day. 

Even as the season began, I thought those questions wouldn't be answered.

But poo, Matt Rhule is showing he might know what he's doing.

Getting rid of Cam Newton for Teddy Bridgewater was one of my biggest questionable moves I've seen. Well, as you all know, I'm a huge Cam fan, and still am. However, seeing this season progress, I see exactly what Rhule saw in Bridgewater to make this a success.

Teddy's no slouch; he knows how to distribute the ball well, make big plays when needed, and smart enough to avoid forcing the ball in situations where the ball doesn't need to be forced. He has a high football IQ and shows it during gametime, showing Rhule's trust in him is warranted. He fits this system perfectly and makes it work, and that's what matters. Him and Joe Brady have been having a field day of fun.

Phil Snow shows off what it's like to have a creative DC manning our defense again. We shouldn't be holding teams down like we have been. Our players are a mix of randoms and rookies, and we're making it work. It doesn't even matter that we're going down to our depth. We're getting huge production when needed, and showing that we can be creative on the defensive side as well.

This is a well coached team that's oiling well together and just seems ready to explode. It's been a lot of fun to watch, and it seems to only be the beginning.

Who knows, maybe we'll even reach the playoffs and surprise everyone from there. With how good this coaching is, it wouldn't surprise me one bit.

Matt Rhule, you've absolutely blown everyone's expectations away despite your questionable moves. You've proven you know what you're doing and will man the ship towards a bright Panthers future. 

To those who believed, keep on believing. I'm now a firm believer that the future of this franchise is bright no matter how this season turns. Coaching has always been our obstacle, and now it is no longer a problem. This will be a franchise to be reckoned with in the coming years.

Can't wait to see where this team ends up next!

Your over the top positivity had gotten a bit annoying in the past few years but I've still missed your solid effort, content and the positivity. You can definitely bring it back to combat a lot of the negativity here. Maybe just try to be a tad more realistic while still being positive...?

I was thinking this exact thing, We have enough pessimists this season I kinda welcome Saccaisms.

I just hope we can hold onto Joe Brady because that dude has put together an efficient offense the likes of which the Panthers have never seen. He will definitely be in conversations to be a head coach next season. 

What we need to do is find somebody that can pick up his ideas and thought processes so when he leaves we don’t drop off too much.

I thought the Rhule hire was stellar from the get go. What he had done in College was impressive. And the man knows how to motivate. And you’re one of the reasons I came on here. Your over the top positivity was hilarious. Made me laugh a lot. Team would be in the shitter, and you would find some positive BS to latch onto. It was amazing.

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
