I think we could compete for an NFC Championship, when you remove QB from the equation. Everything will depend on Bryce Young and how he translates, ultimately. This is the best receiving core we've had since Steve Smith left. Best running back room, best offensive line, and best coaching staff.

If we fail to win the South, it will fall squarely on Teppers shoulders for pushing the wrong QB.

Best running back room?  What?

If we fail to win the South this year its the wrong QB?... because why?...the other rookie QB's must have done better, based on what?

lol

You're funny.

going into a season expecting your team to fail sucks. honestly i don't see why you'd bother with it at all. seems pretty miserable. i know i was that way with rhule and i was about ready to call it quits because life is too short to try and be a fan of a team that you have no faith in at all. seriously i just don't see what the point is in staying a fan.

life's too short to spend emotional energy on being a fan of a team that you thought was just horrible.

i'll tell you this...i'd much rather have my hopes up and have them dashed again than have no hope for the team whatsoever.

I think you have this weird group of people (someone else mentioned this) that are more concerned with being right or appearing edgy than actually enjoying being a fan. If we are bad they chime in with the “I called it” pointless posts if we are good they pretend like it never happened. Every fan should be excited about the offseason and hope their team does well. That’s part of the fun of being a fan.

Rhule just about did me in too, but I'm still here.

I get it on both ends of my fandom.  I'm both a Panthers fan and a St. Louis Blues fan.  Other than the Stanley Cup run and win in 2019, both teams are rather renown for letting fans down.

So I get it, and I would describe myself as "cautiously optimistic" entering this year.  That is about my upper limit for expectations from either team. 

Last year I was not cautiously optimistic.  The Process torpedoed that level of optimism with his second year flailing around.  My hope then was simply that he dispelled the thinking that he was a complete NFL buffoon.  Instead, he reinforced it.

This year we have an NFL-level coaching staff, they picked most of the players, they will hopefully adapt their systems to what the players they picked do well or not, etc.  I think the roster is better.  There is cause for optimism, particularly in a gawd awful division. 

But, all that considered, there still are years of past scars and disappointments.  For me roughly 17 years worth as a Panthers fan and 52 of 53 seasons as a Blues fan.  I'd be stupid to walk that tightrope without a net.

Alabama vs. UT = 35-52, 455 yds, 2td

Alabama vs. A&M = did not play 

Alabama vs. LSU = 25-51, 328 yds, 1td 1int in what most consider his worst game.  

Neither Metchie nor Williams played for Alabama in 2022.  Their wide receiver room took a big step back in 2022 where they were forced to start two sophomores and their third leading receiver was Jahmyr Gibbs, who failed to hit the 1,000 mark in rushing.  The drop off in supporting offensive talent for Young in 2022 was huge, but yet he somehow managed to almost get them in the playoffs and only lost to LSU by 1 and UT by 3.  Alabama's oline took a step back too with only one draft pick. They did a poor job pass blocking for Young too.  

 

 

Enjoy. You must have missed this game.

Jfc some of you acting like we’re the Lions or the Browns. We’re a t20 team in the league in win % since inception and top half in playoff wins and 2 super bowl appearances. Plenty of room for improvement, but some of you need a serious reality check. If you can’t muster any hope now after drafting our new franchise QB then what’s the point? You gonna go bitch in the Hornets forum too if they land Wembanyama?

The point of this thread was to illustrate that having low expectations guards against being reactionary during the season.

People are acting like I'm gonna start "doom and gloom" threads after the first bad performance, when it's actually the opposite. I guarantee you that the overly hopeful ones are gonna be the first to yell "burn it all down".

      He was so much fun to watch as a player but is a prototypical example of the old "never meet your heroes" adage. Great player, not a great guy.

      Does Bryce deserve credit for game-winning drives?

      By Basbear · Posted

      Look.... if us BY "haters" give credit about his GWDs...... Will the BY stans also have honest discussion about the 55minutes before the last 5 in which BY has put up 9/20 for 78 yards 0 TDs???

      Hubbard says he might have rushed back

      By Pantherxtreme · Posted

      The way they are handling now is how they should have handled it from the start instead of that you get a series, you a get a series. Let Chuba spell until he had some of his step back.  We definitely could have put a better showing against Buffalo and their weak run defense had we employed the same game plan we did against Green Bay. Saints were determined to stop the run and make Bryce beat them, Atlanta had similar plan and the coaches and Bryce were able to respond.  Rico although didnt have the best rushing game was vital in the passing game and his catch and run help get us into the redzone there at the end of regulation probably should have been a touchdown that out of bounds was a judgement call it wasn't conclusive and thus should have went with the original call on the field.  Roco brings that dawg to the offense that it shorely lacked up until Miami game. Interesting it was his call that help seal the win for us, glad the coaches were listening. Hope they can get a deal done and run it back next year.
