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.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
