not quiet, but they are in the mix now. 

i was impressed by their coaching staff last yr. i had them as the worst team, they were not close to that and mainly played hard with less talent...

their coach is vastly underrated. This guy is the son of a billionaire and could hold a million dollar a year meaningless job at FedEx but instead is watching tape and sleeping in the coaches office, he’s hungry to succeed.

 

i would not sleep on ATL

Interesting info about the Smith family.  Googled his father...interesting read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_W._Smith

In 1962, Smith entered Yale University. While attending Yale, he wrote a paper for an economics class, outlining overnight delivery service, on which he received a “C”.

 

Was a minority owner of the Redskins..sold out in 2021 because of Snyder.

You had has sweeping them really , before either of our teams have played a single down ,before we even know who our starting QB is, hope doesn't equal wins, we might be playoff contenders, we might be worse than Rhule Era, that's the gamble with any new coach, especially one that was recently fired, and had the same QB by committy that Rhule had 

Some Panther fans need a reality check, we ain't done nothing yet

I still think one of our biggest advantages is our coaching  staff will bring on game day.  
 

I can’t wait to see Caldwell and Capers assist on setting up some mad scientist poo to put in Brown’s and Evero’s hands.

We were somewhat competitive with total shot gameplans let’s see what  happens  when we put the players in great situations on game day.

their roster is aggressively mediocre on D. I still see nothing threatening from a skill position group (or OL) that makes me think a toss up at young QB will be able to do much

Really ? The Falcons offensive line play improved in 2022 in a very similar fashion as the Panthers. The Falcons skill position group has improved too.  Drake London and Kyle Pitts catching passes with a 1k rookie running back (Tyler Alligier ) coming back with more confidence and experience in his 2nd year. Cordalle Patterson is a good 3rd down back. 

AJ Terrell and Okudah at corner with Bates roaming at Safety. Improved pass rush. They have a top 10 pick at their disposal for more talent too, while we use our top resource on our future QB.  I truly believe we are underestimating them if we think they won’t be a challenge. 
 

I think the Saints are going to fall on their face, while the Falcons improve and scare us for the better part of the season.

Panther Defensive additions:

  • Defensive End: Williams, Tuttle,  Anderson (counting him because he was out so much last season),
  • Nose Tackle:  Penisini
  • Linebacker: Grugier-Hill
  • Safety/Nickel:  Rowe, Bell

THAT is ALSO Seven Players (4-5 possible starters) that should contribute and allow us to use Chinn better.

Panther Offensive Additions:

  • Guard: McCray
  • Tight End: Hurst
  • Wide Receiver:  Chark, Theilen, Byrd
  • Quarterback: Dalton
  • Running Back: Sanders

Another Seven Players--4 starters (5 if you count Bozeman)--bringing the total of free agents expected to contribute to 14 players.

Ain't done nothing yet? We have put together a very strong coaching staff on both sides of the ball. We added a couple top notch players to what was already a pretty good D. We strengthened our Offense at every position. Although we could still use a Power Back and a true #1WR.

 

This team could make the Playoffs with Dalton starting. The only thing standing in the way of our ascension is when will our Rook QB start balling out.

 

I know I'm no expert like so many others around here appear to be. But this team has a chance to be pretty dang good. Pfft at Atl.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
