maybe a little break... but you know.. the greatest wins mean nothing without the worst losses... and maybe this game will encourage a bit of a house cleaning... Fox.. eh, I don't know... Jake was (is?) my favorite player... I just don't know... but I'm excited for the future of this team...

As one of the not-too-hardcore fans, I must concur that I'm probably done (except for a few post-season bitching threads here or there) until summer or later. I must say it's been a really fun ride, and having just discovered the board this season I must give props to all of y'all for making this Panthers season one of the most exciting I've ever experienced, despite the horrific ending. Thanks everyone & stay classy Charlotte.

just don't bandwagon off somewhere else... I wouldn't be surprised if 10-20% of the fans bandwagon off to other teams for a season... the fanbase was just starting to really get into this team... it is going to be a while, maybe a year or two, till we see the kind of excited fanbase... who knows... maybe they will be back in full force next year...

I know that post wasn't intended for me specifically, but I don't think many of our "seasonal" fans plan to bandwagon anywhere else, and I myself would never do so in a million years. I just think that you'll see a dramatic drop off of people posting during the off-season, and we won't hit the level of board activity we have had for these past several weeks unless we buck the odds and have a title-worthy team again next year.

I'm definitely excited for 2009, though, and I'll be back. I've been on board every year since '95, and a 12-4 season and Division title won't do anything to dampen that enthusiasm. I'm also betting that those that got their first taste of Panther football in 2008 will be back for more in 2009.

Came back to clarify.

I'm no bandwagon fan, but being a huge fan consumes a lot of your life. Kind of an odd way to put it, but I would be checking for Panther news everyday and visiting many sites, the games/tailgates/parties.

I guess I could have seen this coming cause after loses I would just turn off anything NFL related and just wait till next week. This is a different case, cause there is no next week.

Just give up a bit of your "NFL life." It will make you much healthier.

      I want the following: LB - Devin Lloyd (our big money splash) I'm also interested in Nakobe Dean if we go the cheaper route. His size is a concern beside Wallace, but Dean is a Dan Morgan type of alpha leader of the defense. He's often called the heart of the Philly defense and would absolutely bring a swagger and be our field general on defense. We need this so badly and I'd almost rather go with him because Wallace is no guarantee to ever hit his potential, so maybe we go with Dean and find a Wallace replacement in on day 2. EDGE - Boye Mafe (SEA) I think he's a great blend of pass rush prowess, age and experience. We have our potential youngsters in Scourton and Umanmielen, let's add a vet from a successful franchise to bring some heat. Bye bye Wonnum....bye bye Jones. We roll with Mafe-Scourton-Umanmielen TE - Cade Otton (TB) Again, we have youth in this position w/ Sanders and Evans. Sanders is tracking similarly to Ian Thomas (age/stats) and wonder if he will ever be the TE we thought we stole in the 4th round. Evans looks legit, but more of a balanced/blocker. Sign Otton, who Dave is familiar with and save some money by cutting Tremble. Also allows us to roll Otton-Sanders-Evans in 13 personnel WR - Wan'dale Robinson or Rashid Shaheed I wonder if either of these will be priced out of our range based on age and what they bring. We do already have a 5'8" WR with Horn, Jr. so I'd see the argument against Robinson. However, the latter is still only 25 and just hit a 1k yard receiving season with suspect QB play in NY and an elite talent in Nabers on the roster. SEA gave up two '26 draft picks for Shaheed and he has stepped in nicely for the 'Hawks...doubt they let him walk. I also saw Doubs on the FA list and wonder if he'd be what we need. We need a separator that can be a deep threat to keep defenses honest. TMac/Coker are the bigger receivers, but not necesarily guys that scare a defense....would Doubs be that guy? SAF I'd like an upgrade here and wonder if we wait out the FA period until the latter stages if someone like Ar'Darious Washington or Jaylinn Hawkins lingers and there's a discount later in the game. Nick Scott can F off and I hope he never suits up for us again.

      I just can’t see Morgan as being under the threat of unemployment at any time this upcoming season.  As little as ‘winning’ the division and making the playoffs impressed me, I think to Tepper it was like nectar of the Gods. A milestone for him. And the team did play well in the Wild Card. That has to buy him 2027. I would think. Unless we start 0-8 or something. Which I don’t believe will happen.

      I'm not arguing that Linderbaum isn't a better player than Mays, just that the difference isn't as much as people might think. At least not compared to the difference in cost between the two players will be. In any event, I don't expect the Ravens to let him get to the open market.
