When will we be good again?

[panthers55]

Did the Packers switch to a 3-4 last year or in '08? They seemed to make the transition pretty fast.

And yeah they did a good job with it. Capers may be a lousy head coach but he is good defensive coordinator.

*sigh*

People are overreacting, again.

You guys don't seem to understand that most of the people on the team that are here now, will be here "when we're good again."

How do you know that. With a new coach and staff changes could continue. We assume Hurney will stay but he hasn't signed a contract either. With as many guys on expiring or 1 year contracts, this could be only the first wave.

nothing is for sure, and that's all that we can be sure about

So your making the assumption right now, that we're going to let most of of our best players go, even though we just cleared enough cap space to reach $70 million dollars.

Lemme guess. You also think Jerry was "JUS1 b3ing Gr3eDy!!" this past offseason..

There's more to having a team than one season. You've got to look at the future.

And even though it sucks to be where we are at now, thanks to some good front office management, we are in position to be really good-really fast.

You know how many teams have said that in the past??? LOL. It only works about a quarter of the times.

LOL.

Now show me some proof!!!

i realized early in the season i might not see a winning season for 3-5 years. it made me really really sad.

[Zod]

Realistically not next season but the season after. We should see some real improvement next season, maybe 7-9 or so but playing with heart. After that we are playoff contenders again.

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

Not a Bills/Browns type death spiral but it's going to be a while-2+ seasons for playoff contention at least.

The Lions just called, said they needed an answer first.

[MaineManPanther]

We were 8-8 last year with the same amount of talent we have now with the exception of Peppers. We wouldve been pretty decent this year if it wasnt for Moore and the Oline sudden steep dropoff.

[Lumps]

Lions will be good in another year. They don't count either we'd have to get rid of a lot of more players to go that low. Which I guess could happen.

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

That's the million dollar question Klong. After this year, we will know who the real fans are and who will stick with Carolina through thick and thin.

Hopefully less trolls this off-season. On second thought, I doubt it.

Considering the division we're in, anything can happen, and quickly. So far, no team has repeated as division champs since it was created. Teams that have had a good season one year often found themselves bad the next, witness us since the SB year. New Orleans is a different team without Bush, his loss will have a significant impact on them against most teams (maybe not us this year, but most teams). Tampa Bay is a surprise so far, even if Pittsburgh brought them back down to reality Sunday.

We are an extremely young team that should get much better, quite quickly. Special Teams have held up alright so far, we aren't running anything back, but we are covering better. The single biggest mistake made for this year was letting Jake go, and our young QBs are paying for that. I think next year we will surprise some people, if the league resolves the CBA.
