THE John Coleman Lobby at BOA

[Panthercougar68]

The Panthers officially named the lobby today after Mr. Coleman. I have had the pleasure to meet Mr. Coleman and I don’t think I have ever seen him not smile. I’m glad to see Dave honor him today.

I’ve talked to him before. Mr Coleman is a solid dude!

Great move.  Some Huddlers continue to think Tepper has done nothing for this franchise.  He’s done a ton of stuff like this to improve the organization.  The product on the field will come sooner rather than later

An actual Panther employee who excels at their job… immediate raise and promotion.

Haha sure

Lets face it, last season we should have been a 1-3 win team.  We had so little talent it was ridiculous.  We overachieved by winning 5 games and almost winning another 7 more.  Was it coaching?  Maybe, I don’t know.  Regardless, the fact that we overachieved while putting together a nice off-season set even higher expectations for the fan base for this year.  Are we a better team this season?  Yes.  Do we still have holes?  Yes.  
 

Bottom line - on paper we should have been a 3 win team last year.  This year on paper we should be a 6-7 win team.  Next year the real expectation is that we are a 10+ win team.  
 

Getting ahead of schedule last year with a putrid team made us fans want and expect even more this year.  Fact is we are still 7 starters away (OT, OG, OG, C, QB, MLB, S) from being competitive week in and week out.  Needing to still upgrade at 7 of 22 starting positions should make us a sub .500 team.  Our expectation should have always been 6-7 wins this year…an improvement over year 1 where we somehow won 5 games with a roster needing over a dozen upgrades.  
 

This was always a three year process. We will end the year with a better record than we had last year.  And we will end next year in even better shape than this year.

Moose looking old in the Panthers.com video, time flies.  Glad they did this.

I did read that - and agree with some content.  But the author contradicts himself.   He claims in one regard that there are a ton of talented and smart players on the roster, then claims Tepper and Rhule haven’t done anything yet to solve the problems here they inherited.    
 

This team was in cap hell with very little talent in 2018.  We have at least assembled a roster that shows promise.  We have to fix the OL and QB positions.  But not much more.  2 years ago we had to fix everything but RB.
