Optimism and hope spring eternal once again. With the draft eight days away and two top QB prospect's in our sights plus a good FA haul has made it exciting to be a Panther fan once again.

Having to put up with the sh%t show that Rhule and company had put on the field last season, I had lost all interest. 

Looking foward to training camp and driving down from Hendersonville to see the new team and checking out the schedule to buy a few tickets for select games.

Life is good in Panther land once again with a promising future.... no matter who they choose at #1.

I was sinking into the pit of apathy and was pretty much done with the team until they fired Rhule. Then Wilks got me back to ground zero and made it ok to be a fan and I'm grateful for that 

With this coaching staff, I'm feeling good about the future for the first time in a long time. Being in this position to draft.... whoever it is they draft...I'm really excited and yeah, it feels good

I recall seeing that you preferred Stroud a while back... will you be as excited if we draft Young and he stinks?

I don’t think anyone is going to be excited if our new QB flat out stinks especially considering the assets we have parted with to get him. That said, I personally am a big believer in this staff and their ability to evaluate so I’m fine with Stroud, Young or Richardson. The optimism is in full swing currently for me personally.

I'm not excited yet but I am definitely relieved. Im happy to have a competent staff for a change. Anything positive from here on out is icing on the top.

I echo this completely. For me, we have endured too much bs for too long to be excited at the moment.

Now when we finally figure out our QB and complete this draft.. it’ll be nice. And when Training camp starts, if I start reading tweets about our new QB looking good… Yeah that will start to get me going then.

I think it is possible after the draft (and our choice is made on quarterback) that the next prominent conversation will be about who is starting at QB on day 1. I think it possible we may have a rookie starting day 1.

No disrespect to coach Wilks but Imagine that if Piniero made the field goal vs Atlanta and we made the playoff. Then now Wilks is our head coach .............

Now imagine we beat the Bucs to actually make it to the playoffs. That kick didn’t keep us from the playoffs. The shitty job in the secondary, Wilks’ bread and butter, against Evans kept us out of the playoffs.

I’m hopeful again because the last 5 years have sucked. Late 2018, you could tell Cam’s arm was shot and so could everyone else and that started the long run of losing. We haven’t had a QB since then that was close to a legit playoff QB. A QB we take at #1 sure as poo should be a legit playoff QB. Who knows if they will but it’s nice to feel like it’s possible.

There's a chance that any QB we draft will stink.

I'm not going to sit here and worry about it, though. "OMG what if we pick the wrong  one !!!!!!!!" What a waste of energy.

I've said it before many times and I still mean it. I'll be happy with either one and Ive got confidence in this coaching staff and FO to make the right decision. 

If we draft a guy and he sucks, then I'll deal with it then. Until I see reason not to be excited, I'm going to be.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
