2019 Season - Cam/Ron - Excitement Level: 6/10
We were coming off that 7 game skid with a meaningless win over the Saints to end the season that made us drop like 8 spots in the draft (Burns).

2020 Season - Bridgewater - Excitement Level: 5/10
Ron was canned - Cam released - we hired Rhule and traded for Teddy. The newness of everything got me excited as the season got closer but not too much.

2021 Season - Darnold - Excitement Level: 4/10
Oh boy- I was less than optimistic but whenever you get a new QB things are intriguing. I was interested to see if Rhule and Co. was who we thought they were.

2022 Season - Mayfield - Excitement Level: 7/10
Someone needs to settle me down. Not that I am giddy, but I think I'm more optimistic I have been and it is not warranted. I think Wildcard is SUPER realistic.

Pretty close to my feelings, Although I'm remiss you left luke retiring out of the 2020 season and will add that was probably 4/10 as well.

Just curious if you saw this today🤣🤣

 

This is how you end up being mentally ill. Being on social media enough that you post about DM's people send you with screenshots of things people say about you in some random internet forum.

That's a tough life, living second to second staring at a cell phone screen.

    • We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.
    • I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
