What were your expectations for this season?

Very low. I was not high on the DM promotion, the DC hire or keeping Evero. Young was always going to be a bust IMO but only having to endure 2 games vs the 16 game of the suck marathon from last year was a nice surprise. Looks like we are easily picking top 5 again so that's dead on there. The Dalton bump was fun but also predictably short lived. The draft class is looking as predicted unfortunately. It's just not a good team and that includes what these guys chose to do this offseason even with the few positives. 

I keep hoping to see more improvement. I haven't see enough yet. 5 weeks down and 12 to go. Get going or I would cheer for a house cleaning. No Caldwell or Morgan or any of these guys? Sounds great even if Tepper fugs it all up again. I was hoping more from Tillis but maybe he is biding his time waiting for the rest to fail to step up and be Tepper's new in house guy?

It was 3 to 5 wins for me but I think 3 would be hard to hit if they don't change up what they brought last game. Injuries stink but adapting is what the NFL requires in the best of times. Get to it or fug off IMO

Progress, in something. Anything.

I had no expectations of improvement in Young. He was who we thought he was.

I knew Luvu was the glue on the entire defense. Brown jammed it up, Luvu was the pass rush and kept the run honest. We added people I’ve never heard of except Clowney. I knew it would be bad, didn’t think it’d be like this. Preseason was fools gold that I fell for badly. Evero, could call up some kind of stunt. Like, what do you have to lose at this point? 

I knew Thielen, Andy and Chuba would be our mainstay. I wasn’t sure about the o line help. Didn’t really pay much attention honestly. I hadn’t even heard of Johnson, but I don’t pay attention to the rest of the NFL like I used to. 
 

I was very skeptical of Canales and Dan. Thought like the previous, they sold their man cards to T. This is a strong maybe, I’d say.

I actually felt better about Morgan than Canales. I didn’t like the fact that Morgan was essentially a part of Fitterers group, but I was willing to give him a chance because of his past here. Would still be willing to give him another season or two to clean this mess up.

The DC hire to me was strange, very skeptical at first because he came out of nowhere and reminded me of the Nathaniel Hackett hire. I do feel somewhat better about DC now.

If you expected a lot of wins this season you were not paying attention. They have a first time GM and a first time HC who just came from being a first time OC. Neither of which I would call in hot demand by any stretch of the word. Starting out with the worst team in the league by every measure you can think of. All of which are the puppets of David Tepper. You must be a serious homer.

I was not. Morgan's work here last year had me hoping he was not going to be staying either. DC is Morgan's friend so when Morgan was hired I knew we were fugged. The entire Seattle connections was always a dead end IMO that started with Friterer. I was hoping for Peters and more KC connections.

2-15

I tried to tell many huddlers, but they were drunk on hopuim. Its not my style to bust-up fellow fans hoping for a 7-10 win season. I too want to hope my favorite team can be average again......

I even thought they had less talent than 2023, many poo'd on that as well. 

Unless evero can surprise some QB and get some TOs, even with dalton at QB getting that second win will be one tough mountain.

People talk about the points and non-pass rush, but the defense is also lacking TOs. TO win games...

I said with a couple of injuries this defense would horrifically bad

I said Dave canalas is as green as it gets

I said a top 15 offense and 6 wins would be a success

I said Dan Morgan will be a poo GM

Welp here we are are eyeballing 4 wins. Ive seen this movie before and I know how it ends.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!

      Well, if they know Tepper wants to keep Bryce there is an an implied safety net there in case he fails. A possibility that he will be empathetic and •maybe• not fire them.  If they go against that and bring in someone else and that fails they are in a much worse spot.  IMO.  And another factor may be that after all those years of instability and musical chairs pre Bryce there will likely be a feeling of security in knowing what they have.   Kind of like settling just to keep from going through the process all over again.     IOW I think he really needs to fug up bad to lose his job and change our course.
