It's a whole new Era in Panther Land...

Folks,

The writing is on the wall in Carolina. This off season has marked one of the biggest shake ups Panthers History.

This team still has some talent and some players who will compete.

BUT

From this point on, everything with this team is one big

?

...Some like it (the grass is always greener) Some dont (Doom and Gloom)

But at this point you have to expect 8-8 and hope for the best.

The thing that made made 2003 so special is that NO ONE expected it, we might see some excitement like that again in Carolina in 2010.

But one also has to think that we are headed for a repeat of 2001.

For the last several years we were only a few players away from a SB, now we are a lot farther from that.

Only time will tell.

One thing is certain, this is a Panther team that no one knows what to expect, and anyone who claims to is a blabbering IDIOT.

I think our needs are the same as they were a few weeks ago. Anyone thinking Lewis and Kemo make that big of a difference have to be out of their minds. It was Delhomme's time to go and although I didn't like letting Hoover go we didn't miss a beat with Sutton in there and Fiammetta should be ready to handle it. I think Diggs was 50/50 although he was diminishing, his skills we usually solid and he brought veteran stability. However Anderson and Conner are talented player and both are in their 2nd and 3rd years.

This is why we draft players folks. It's about time we give them a chance. When I look at Louis Leonard, Tank Tyler, Charles Johnson, E. Brown , Tony Fiammetta, Tyrell Sutton, Matt Moore, Dan Conner, and James Anderson.. I see talent not scrubs like you gloom and doomers think and apparently John Fox and Hurney think so to and they are closer to the players and know more football than any of us likely ever will. So can we stop bitching?

I know you guys all worry about leadership and everything but Matt Moore has sat behind Jake for 3 years now. Charles Johnson played side by side with Lewis for 3 years. TD and Beason are natural leaders and have picked up on Digg's veteran experience as I'm sure guys like Conner and Anderson have as well. It's time let these guys step in to those "leadership" roles.

I have to say I like the idea of making some moves this off season. How fast a year goes bye. Last year most people was thinking "great we have kept most of the team that made it to the Playoffs". Look at where that got the Panthers. I'm happy the over 30 crowd is getting replaced. I really like Hoover and wish he was able to stay, but at the same time it is not a bad idea to try to get better at each position. This board is way to fast at yelling the Panthers are going to fail.

Letting players go is not always a bad idea.

    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.        
    • My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
    • He wasn't a JAG, he's been a starter every year of his career. Didn't turn into the superstar it seemed like he might his rookie year, but I think part of that has been being misused. Guy was/is a baller.
