Before I get started with this topic, neither viewpoint should be seen in a negative light.  This is sports.  For player and fan alike, we celebrate our teams the way we celebrate.  Ain't nothing wrong with that!


I often think about the things players are saying about Bryce Young, and they all point out how his attitude is one of meekness, while still carrying an air of confidence.  Many of us have been Panthers fans for a long time, and more are coming aboard.  I often imagine what would be my reaction to a Superbowl victory?  Now, when I talk to fans from other teams, I always brag about my cats before the season, saying we will go 19-0 (prior to the extra game in the season) and 20-0 every year.  Yet personally during the season, if we got a big win against a team on any given Sunday, I don't cheese it up and brag about it much.  Perhaps one of the reasons for why is I know the Panthers could stink the joint up the next Sunday.  Then I would have to go in front of friends and explain myself over something I have no real impact on. LOL! (Of course fans in the stands have impact to a degree)  This was even true in years where we did well.  So all that in mind, I again wonder how I would react around everyone, friends, family, coworkers, and folks of opposing teams should our team take it all the way.  How would y'all react?


Again I think about Bryce Young.  No doubt for him to lead a team to a Superbowl as a rookie would be awesome!  It would also be historical, and would speak for itself on greatness.  Yet I imagine if all that came to pass, our guy would still wear the respectful hat.  Then I think about Cam.  Now please don't get me wrong, I am not speaking evil of Cam or criticizing him in any way.  Don't take it this way.  I'm just thinking on comparisons here.  That said, Cam let you know who the best was.  Particularly when he was dominating, and even as a rookie he was dominating at the QB position in ways not seen before and yet to be seen since.  He said himself he was a sore loser.  So he had a lot of pride in his abilities and his team.  It is a stark contrast from the early indications of how Bryce will be.  We are just like this as fans.  For me, when we win big, I don't play it up too much. (Though inside I'm ecstatic and jumping around)  For the next Panthers fan, they might throw it up and letting everyone know what time it is.  Both are valid expressions.  So here again and again and again, how will you respond to a Superbowl victory this year?  Or have you thought about how you would react?

Not even sure if Cam aka Superman can lift the Panthers to the SB let alone winning it as a rookie, let alone Bryce. Just too much competition for this young team with a new coach. Realistically, it will take a few years to be real contenders as long as we can make progress and improvements game after game. Our goal should be to win games that we are supposed to win and have a winning record unlike last year 7-10 record. It is attainable.

Before some of you continue attacking the OP, how many saw 2015 coming?

I am sure people were touting us, I don’t even need to look. It happens almost every year. And Cam had actually proven something so it had some validity. 
This year? That is a ton of ‘if’ and ‘maybe’ being substituted for ‘is’.

      You don’t even need 1b because Tepper is the only one foolish enough to wheel that deal.    Player wise? Jake’s elbow. JR and Pep getting sideways, no Carruth, Cam’s shoulder, Luke’s concussions, it would be a long list of stuff. You can take it down to certain plays in games. Fox chasing 2 point conversions in the SB would be on my list. RMJr slipping at the end of that same game was not helpful.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By frankw · Posted

      Ultimately this just amounts to heavy revisionist history. I mean you aren't talking to someone that just popped out the womb a week ago. I was here all throughout the predraft process. The overwhelming majority of the fanbase felt like this was a fine situation and the best situation for a rookie QB to go to compared to Houston for example. The hype for Young and our "rockstar" staff was off the charts. No one could dare speak cautious skepticism of his abilities or they would be neg repped into oblivion. Only after he had one of statistical worst rookie seasons of the last 25 years did we get this narrative now that his rookie season actually shouldn't count. Complete malarkey if you ask me.

      On the field? Since I guess it qualifies as multiple instances it might not count, but have the damn refs throw some flags on illegal hits to Cam's head in SB50. If that doesn't count, 1A. Cotchery caught it 1B. Kasey keeps that kickoff inbounds. Off the field? 1A. Team is sold to anyone but Tepper 1B. We have the patience not to mortgage the franchise on that Bryce trade. Stroudwpuldve been the better pick but he's not worth it either.
