This Season Frightens Me

All I know is the first 10 games of next season can't possibly be much worse than last seasons'.

and if the Panthers make it to the playoffs it can't possibly be as miserable as the Arizona game the season before last.

This season is unpredictable but to be honest the Panthers weren't really going anywhere as it was...except continuing overpaid mediocrity.

You're completely ignoring that we have:

1) Best run game in the league

2) Top 3 offensive line in the league

3) Top 10 receiver

4) Elite linebacker core

5) Above average/arguably elite secondary

Yeah D-Line might downgrade our linebackers and secondary but we aren't even sure how the d-line will do. It's not like we have scrubs on the d-line, we have a 2nd round DE who is great at getting to the QB, C. Johnson who has done very well with his limited playing time, Leonard who showed flashes of brilliance last season, and Tank Tyler looked solid too.

Free agency started like a week ago and the draft hasn't even happened. The sky isn't falling, people need to calm down.

Just repeat this over and over:

At least we aren't the Browns, At least we aren't the Browns, At least we aren't the Browns, At least we aren't the Browns, At least we aren't the Browns.

D-Line is so important in the NFL. If you can't rush the QB and you can't stop the run, you're dead.

O it can be worse. ask the bucs!

edit: or the rams, or the chiefs.

lol

While that may be true I think the fact that there were only 3-5 teams that had it worse than the Panthers is the point...especially when half those were rebuilding where as the Panthers were MORE than established comparatively speaking.

I'm sorry, but this season might be really UGLY. No defensive line. No experience at QB. Yikes!

yeah, this kinda sucks.

i've made a website called lemonparty.org

it's for everyone that's soured on this offseason.

go there, sign the guest book and petition, etc.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.

      Scourton may not get double digit sacks, but he won't be a liability on every other down
