did you feel better about the future of the team in 2011 or 2020

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

both riveras and rhules first years respectively

tbh that 2011 team was a ton of fun to watch. this one is just boring

[hepcat]

Cam Newton at QB for the next decade in 2011 vs who knows at QB in 2020. Easy call 

[t96]

I picked 2020 due to coaching but Cam probably made me way more excited then than I am at this point. If we get a top QB in this next draft (which I think is likely), 2020 takes the cake.

2011 was a sneaky super talented team.  Enter Cam, and that's a landslide.

 

Crazy what an exciting new QB/high draft pick can do for you.

2011 vs 2021 will be a tougher one to call

[Floppin]

Anyone who doesn't pick 2011 is telling on themselves.

Rivera was a new coach and had not really had to chance to highlight his shortcomings and Cam burst onto the scene as a fuging monster. This is an easy question.

That doesn't change the fact that I'm generally excited about our future with this coaching staff. There's going to be some growing pains and the only downside that I've seen so far - that we might not be able to improve upon - is Rhule's budding loyalties to old ties.

[SOJA]

2011 easy. Cam was sensational. 

[TheRumGone]

2011 by far

[Eazy-E]

Cam in 2011 and then Luke in 2012. Back to back ROTYs. MVP and DPOTY. One Super Bowl appearance with all that talent.

Just want to give a big thanks to Dave Gettleman, Ron Rivera, and Mike Shula for being fuging terrible.

Hope Rhule proves to be the real deal because this team currently needs a serious influx of talent at numerous positions. It’s funny because QB and MLB are two of those positions.

The responses to this question will be inherently prone to bias based on knowing how the intermittent years played out, and specifically how the careers of certain players within that period went.

How so?

You weren't excited during and after Cam's rookie year with a fresh Rivera?

[Dave Gettleman's Shorts]

2011 team was fun to watch. Cam, double trouble, Shockey and Olsen, an actual offensive line, and Chris Gamble shutting down the entire league. If only Beason and TD didn't get injured. But we ended up with Luke cause of it.
