Last years team has been blown up. This team will be completely different as it will consist of a lot new players in starting roles. They have to install a new scheme and philosophy on both offense and defense in about 4 months.  The coaches are 99% all new and a lot of them have never worked together before. On top of that they are putting their hopes in a rookie qb that they hope they can get ready by game 1.  Sounds like we should expect the playoffs at least.

All of this^^^sounds an awful lot like teaching, learning, physical workouts, practices, competition, cooperation and coordination. 

Just way too complex in this age of instant gratification. 

Don't tell me the truth. 

Tell me what I want to hear!

Who are you trying to kid?  It's not even close to reasonable.

5 games, 5 Super Bowls!

Anything less should result in a house cleaning at Panthers HQ by the end of this year!

That reminds me of Jerome Bettis' famous stat line...

5 carries, -1 yards, 3 touchdowns 😄

Or…

[hair on fire] “It’s five days into free agency and we haven’t signed a consensus all star WR1 yet.  What is wrong with Fitterer, can’t he see that we are doomed without one?”

Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Yea, I've never had high expectations since we drafted Bryce, so it's not like I'm just upset about not meeting them. I went into the season wanting to see player improvement and Canales' play design/calling improvement. I'm now to the point where I 99% only care about seeing individual player improvement.  The 1% is that I unfortunately have to still hope to see Canales play calling improvement, because that is kinda critical for the improvement of all our young offensive players. Offense is different from defense, you need good play designs and calls to show out.  On defense, everything can be a mess, but a great young player can still stand out and look great.  Our defense can be a mess but still have Horn locking down his guys on the outside, Scourton or Princely winning their pass rushing and pressuring the QB, DB swallowing up multiple blockers. But it's very hard for any QB, RB, WR, or TE to individually shine when the play design and calling is poo.

      Oh, I'm not 100% expecting/demanding anything for next season. All that I want to see out of this season is progress, but I also understand that progress is not linear. I also understand that we've got a young team and coaching staff that are both developing. Expecting a winning record isn't reasonable at all, but I'll cheer for one all the same. I think that this is where some of the more angsty fans keep themselves in a perpetual cycle of misery: high expectations leads to low resiliency. Folks can have high standards, and the Panthers + Bryce have not met those standards, but some of those standards are completely realistic (like Bryce has to be built like Cam in order to be successful).
