I'll give you the restrictions, but this isn't the first year it's been hot

Just goes to show the difference from when Cam was here to Darnold. Darnold will have to earn that hype.

 

Cam had that fan interaction and people just loved him. Sam just needs to focus on improving his game.

 

But I wasn't there so I can't really say for sure. Just my opinion. 

Merit in that…Cam was a show, that’s for sure

From a social media viewpoint the new photography restrictions are somewhat understandable. But for a franchise trying to regain relevancy it's counterproductive in the short term for fan engagement imo. But the Panthers will be the Panthers.

Fans should have a reason for excitement if you ask me. This is a year where no one really doesn't know what to expect. Last year we were expected to be bottom of the league. This year Analysts have us possibly making the wild-card. 

I can understand some having little to no excitement for Sam, this defense should have us excited on their own.

Fan excitement hinges on Sam Darnold. The fans got sold crap in Teddy last year and they're very much in wait and see mode on Darnold. If he shows promise in preseason excitement will tick up. If he doesn't, Tepper is gonna see a lot of opposing colors in BOA while daydreaming about the excitement that a Justin Fields pick would've brought to the fanbase.

 

We'll see how it goes. As fans that's all we can do.

I totally agree, but that is old school thinking. Teams have to put up big points now to get real excitement. Wish it wasn't so.

Just seeing the difference in DJ Moore's route running and seeing slight improvements to Darnold's game has me excited. And what I am hearing about Dan Arnold is making me drool everywhere since we had to deal with Ian "Big Threat" Thomas.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      Yuck.  I still kind of like Herbert but these playoff performances are rough....

      Evero and the pass rush

      I feel like this was the case with River and McDermott defenses as well, we just had the jimmies and the joes to overcome these deficiencies with all pro players at edge and linebacker positions.  Even then, was extremely frustrated in 2015 when we'd let team come back from 20+ pt deficits playing prevent only to barely win at the end.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      We need to move on soon and just use Bryce as a bridge to find our next guy. I'd like to see how this offense works with Canales hand picking his own guy. Bryce holds this offense back a lot considering you draft the first pick to carry your team and be your best player. We invested heavily for Bryce and need everything to go right just to have him look like a solid game manager sometimes. When he plays well he can look decent or mid, but when he plays bad he looks like a bottom 5 qb in league (backups included). It's not worth it, especially if we need to pay him soon, which means we have to skimp all over the roster. If the defenses don't hand it to us on a silver platter Atlanta style then we struggle big time. Defenses don't respect the offense at all. With Cam we could have the worst offensive talent and I'd still think we had a shot in any game we played. If Bryce is facing a 3rd and 10 I pretty much wave the white flag and don't think we can make that first down.
