Its been a Great/Terrible/Fun/Crazy/Depressing Season.....

Here's something I've been thinking about that kinda gives me some hope. Last season, we ended on a terrible note. A crushing, humiliating defeat caused mainly by our starting QB's utter failure to function correctly--a problem that carried into this season. This season, we end on a good note, winning our last three games, and going 4-1 after naming Moore the starter. The defense turned into a juggernaut this season, and we have a lot to build on going into 2010. We're a team on the rise.

It was mostly depressing, but there were some great moments. For me:

Panthers at Cardinals. Delhomme gets redemption (well, adequate at 90 yds, 1 TD and no INT's) while we watched Warner crumble. The similarities between that game and the previous playoff match were just too crazy.

Tampa at Carolina - the introduction of Matt Moore (I was there! Hopefully some of you guys were too). Beason showed he is absolutely an animal out there.

And then lets not forget the beautiful dismantling of both the Vikings and the Giants (via our "backup" QB). We saw the re-emergence of Smitty and saw that J-Stew can absolutely carry the rushing game by his lonesome.

....Bah, now we have the offseason and all the lameness that follows with it. Dammit, I wish the break wasn't so long!!

New Orleans at Carolina - Jonathan Stewart breaks 1,100 total yards, along with Deangelo Williams...both backs, first time in NFL history.

It was awesome being there during this, although a lot of people were wondering why my buddy and I were cheering so loud for a short run.

If anyone knows where I can get D.Will and J.Stew to sign these tickets I would love it.

As long as there is a possibility for Jake Delhomme to start for us, I will reserve my hopes until I know otherwise.

This season was as frustrating as they come. The Panthers' mantra is to run the ball and play defense. John Fox wins by running the ball and playing defense.

We achieved both this season and finished 8-8. You did what you said you like to do, and we are still mediocre. There is a problem with this, and it limits my hope for the future.

My favorite moment, Steve Smith breaks his arm and still scores the touchdown.

If Delhomme starts next year the Moore era will have been nothing more than a short-lived good dream during a nightmare lifetime.

Please resign Thomas Davis, I might cry if we Will Witherspoon him.

    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
