sure they are obtainable, but its not realistic, that was more of a generic type coach speak and I suspect you know this.  Of course he is going to say the goal is to win, why wouldnt he say that?

I think if our schedule was hard it wouldn't be realistic, but it is honestly just so soft after the bye, like I was just saying, we have Houston, Indy, Chicago, Tennessee, Tampa. we could easily be .500 by just beating garbage teams and stealing one win when we enter December. And from there we have our run game, defense, and talented rookie with another college football season of time under his belt.

I'm more optimistic about the schedule than the offensive roster at the end of the day. No way does our run game get worst after what they did last year.

Noted and we have discussed and acknowledged that.  However there is also a possibility that we go into the bye something like 1-5, 0-6.  That would be tough to turn around.  No true easy games before the bye

I see it as the exact opposite........Panthers will start out strong and do well through through the first half of the year and fall flat through the balance of the season lucky to end up even. 

Reasons?

Simple.........the wear and tear of injuries.............and no depth with the offensive line is really going to bit them in the ass. 

That is the reality of the situation.

here's the thing about this season, yes we have a brand new coaching staff and a lot of new young players that's going to take some time to develop 

but, our division is trash and our schedule is somewhat manageable

we don't have a first round pick next year, so our goal should at least try to win the division and build from there

The coaches, the players, the team wants to win now, but their keeping their expectations realistic, with hopes of exceeding them. Can't ask them for more then that, no.matter how we personally feel. 

It's just reality. When you have to blow an already mediocre team up to rid it of years of bad coaching, player development and drafting, what do you think is going to happen? 

No amount of pumping themselves to think they are SB bound is going to overcome that. 

I laugh when I here that "this team almost made the playoffs last season so thay better this season or everyone needs to go".  Fool, that's what they just did.

Fans are not known for patience, but that's what they are gonna need this season.  You cannot turn a turd into a diamond necklace overnight.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By Basbear · Posted

      All true, Stafford and Mccvay were both talking about "retiring" during those future picks too, I member. In my computer when you make future trade, I feel you have to factor in the worst case or close to it from your side. The big issue for the panthers, maybe even now is that they have not proven they can draft well enough to trade. I know that Dan and company have not traded future picks and they seem to always want 7-8 picks overall. They like to trade 3 picks for 3 picks or 2 for 2.   It would have been great to flip BB for that haul and use those Rams picks instead of the first overall pick...... Verse wise, Jesus what a beast....... Garrett is the top dawg and all, but man this is rough for me. I also noticed this about the panthers they are pedo bears, they like dem young. So a 25 year old verse would have gotten gigged with the panthers. Even with NIL and 6th year, and even coofus fallback, panthers prefer younger players. Monroe Freeling (Round 1, Pick 19 | OT, Georgia): 21 years old Lee Hunter (Round 2, Pick 49 | DT, Texas Tech): 22 years old (estimated) Chris Brazzell II (Round 3, Pick 83 | WR, Tennessee): 22 years old Will Lee III (Round 4, Pick 129 | CB, Texas A&M): 21-22 years old (estimated) Sam Hecht (Round 5, Pick 144 | C, Kansas State): 21-22 years old (estimated) Zakee Wheatley (Round 5, Pick 151 | S, Penn State): 22 years old (estimated) Jackson Kuwatch (Round 7, Pick 227 | LB, Miami OH): 22-23 years old   Tetairoa McMillan, WR (Arizona) — Age: 22 Nic Scourton, EDGE (Texas A&M) — Age: 20 Princely Umanmielen, EDGE (Ole Miss) — Age: 21 Trevor Etienne, RB (Georgia) — Age: 20 Lathan Ransom, SAF (Ohio State) — Age: 23 Cam Jackson, DT (FL)- age 22 Mitchell Evans, TE (ND)- age 22 Horn-22   Fitterererere just turned out to be a awful hire, too green, too willing to please, no sense of what talent looks like on teams other than Seahawks, too much pressure, didnt have the correct network of coaches and FO office people. Kick was herniay leftd him with a bare bones talent to start with and besides taking a bottom level team and improving it, he made it even worse AND trading prime draft picks to prolong the timeline to fix. People forget Dan didn't have the 1st overall pick and 39th overall(that dude looking good for bears) to repair this team. Dan could have traded that 1st overall for a proven 1k WR, 9th overall, future 1st and future 2nd......

      Who is/will be an 'All time great' thats on our roster right now?

      When I read the OP I was thinking more of the Franchise than the league but I agree.  To me DB is the only guy right now but I could see TMac being on the list.

      “All-timers” usually stand out early and often.  There really isn’t much wiggle room.  Not many of the greats magically figured it out 3-4 years in.  Franchise greats is another story.  They don’t even have to be all that good to become a legend.  One play or game can make a guy a hometown hero.
