We could have held onto our all pro corner instead of our GM having a dick measuring contest with him. 

Then he wasted our picks on a shitty DT and 3 CBs to try and replace Norman. Those picks could have been used on the OL since that is what cost us the super bowl. 

Coaching (and some refs) cost us the SB. The OL was fantastic aside from 2 games in that 25 game run. It was stupid for us to make no adjustments to stop two HOF edge rushers. That’s why Belichick wins SBs and Rivera/Shula do not. That said 2016’s OL rash of injuries had nothing to do with that or Norman. Sometimes you get good health luck and sometimes you don’t.

What's really weird, going into a new season not completely worried about the offensive line.

 

When's the last time that happened?

Still worried. Always worried because depth is an issue on every team and one or two mis-steps can lead to a serious issue in a league where inches wins championships. 

So, worried still. If Icky still gets beat on occasion like he was against the Bucs in the 4th quarter of what was effectively a championship game, or Semi-Final, we are in trouble. If not, great.

You're telling me you don't miss the excitement of Byron Bell vs Nate Chandler? 

Yet we somehow managed to go 17-2 with them? That's the insane part. If not for the Broncos defense, who used and abused everyone that year, we would've been fine. But that defense had two future Hall of Fame pass rushers and Wade Phillips, a Hall of Fame coach as DC.

Neither were on the 2015 roster.

To tell the truth, the only thing I'm worried about is that injury bug we can seem to get away from.

To be fair, we had impossibly good luck in terms of OL injury luck last year. Aside from that last game where Corbett tore his ACL, up until that point our starting OL didn't miss a SINGLE SNAP. That's unbelievably good luck and very improbable to be replicated. Hope guys like Zavala, Mays are ready to be called on if needed. Also, all the poo he got two years ago, Cam Erving is a solid reserve swing tackle.

First season for me that I'll support the Panthers with my money in some time.

Very long time.

 

I'm hoping to spend more time watching them this year, I honestly missed more games/quarters on TV over the past 3 seasons than in the previous 15 years prior combined.

It’s a lot nicer to mow the lawn or go for a walk and check the score routinely than be a die hard fan. I can never break away from my fandom but I’ve learned to have balance.

No doubt about it.  There was a time where I was watching tons and tons of NFL games, pretty much watched every game, every week, all season.  I was a big Panthers fan, but also just a fan of the NFL.

Now?  Don't have the time, nor desire to sit through 15-20 hours of NFL per week.  I'll try to watch the Panthers, but if it looks fishy out there, and it ain't raining, from now on I'll likely be fishing and trying to catch up when I get home.

The OL was already beasting with the lineup coming back from last year once whole again from the injuries - but the opportunity of developing Cade Mays and Zavala(sp?) In the meantime while our other guys heal?  The OL went from complete ass to possibly the strongest unit we've ever had in roughly 2 years time?

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Jaycee LOCKDOWN Horn is due for a breakout year

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
