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.

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • 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.
