Positive Progress

look at the south....Saints trending down.  Falcons trending down.  Bucs basically floating dead in the water with a chance to improve with Baker....but I'd rather have Bryce.

Our GM ain't perfect but he's better than his predecessors.  I believe we had a good draft.  And while we have hung with the Chiefs and Eagles, we have a great position in the draft.  Plus 2 4ths and 3 5ths.  

The future is bright.  Improved progress and we can compete for the division title next year.

Hasn't this been the line for years now? Maybe this time it actually happens.

I'm not one that's surprised very often, but the way this team has played lately is a surprise to me. This scrappy team thinks it can win any game, even though the bevy of roster limitations says otherwise. Maybe we didn't win today, but Rocky didn't win against Apollo in the first movie either. But he earned a ton of respect.

There's still the part of me that wants to be cautious, but it looks like there's finally something to look forward to again.

Meh.  I was not all that impressed with the Eagles today  with the exception of their running game.  If they had a decent passing qb we would have lost by double digits.

I haven't forgotten that. It's why I sometimes can't believe what I'm seeing now. 

What the hell happened?

Young got his confidence back.

I’m having fun watching deep into the 4th quarter with legit opportunities to win.  Feels like ‘02.

I Agree.

My optimism next year will no longer have to be based on blind delusion but actual genuine hope. 

Next year's draft is a big, BIG deal

Bryce Young’s turnaround has to be one of the more fascinating in league history, considering what the panthers gave up for him and how lost he looked until a few weeks back. I’ve never seen anything like it in sports.

The most important thing is that the Panthers are making me feel again, and I have been numb for a long time.

Atleast I’m back to looking forward to Panthers games every week. This team is looking a lot better than all of the other 3 win teams. We have loads of holes, but I’m hoping an elite WR like Tetairoa McMillan falls to us to give BY his first legit WR. Sign FA’s and draft defense with the other picks

After the first few games of this year, I wasn't expecting it but we've genuinely seen it this season.

There's reason for hope, there's something to build on, and I didn't believe either of those things existed going into this year. 

We definitely aren't where we would like to be, but the good news is that we also aren't where we thought we'd be.

I'd call that progress.

We sure need to nail the draft this year. If we do The Panthers should make a huge jump next year.

I’m so encouraged by this team I live out of state now and going to see family in Winston Salem for Christmas and now I’m making them go to the Cardinals game with me.  Really hoping to see a win. Last home game I went to was the Lions game where it was in the Teens.
