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.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
