The Panthers are fun, and the future is bright!

[Saca312]

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...?

Good to see you again Saca

Good to hear from you saca

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.

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

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.

Not sure why you are mad at me. I guess it doesn’t matter since you’ll be changing usernames again soon.

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.
