i genuinly hate fake ass fans like you, though i would probably not put this much effort into telling you so had we not just gone 2-14 so..sorry..blame jerry richardson and good luck to your new team the colts.. i guess

[neverlosethefeeling]

Uh we don't have a QB that's even NFL caliber right now...kind of important I think.

We have plenty of time and options to address that issue.

[BBQ&Beer]

Meh, we've got too much cap room to feel hopeless.

[CatMan72]

I never lose hope, I'm excited to see who we get for a coaching staff and how they re-shape this roster. JR is far from content with the way things are so I have a feeling something big is coming (trade, FA signing, etc...). With some decent QB play we are much better than a 2-14 team. I was excited about Luck but all along but I was also keeping things in perspective, Luck could just as easily be the next David Carr, Alex Smith or Matt Leinart.

Keep the faith, the Panthers will rise again.

I'm usually pretty optimistic for the next season, but not this year. I believe the league is proven to be driven by QB play if you want to make noise or constantly good. We play in a division with strong young QB play. I think we can have winning seasons, but nothing sustainable like elite teams. My expectation temporarily got set high, it's going to take me time to accept mediocrity and more inconsistencies.

[Pox 08]

I'm actually feeling better about this off season than I have about previous off seasons.

Change is in the air. New coaching staff, #1 pick. An owner making promises to get our offense on par with some of the other successful offenses in the league. I'm anxious.

No, now STFU.

[Cat'sGrowl]

At this point I'm really concerned we are going to go into next season with a team that's great all around but absolutely no talent at the QB position.

Locker, Mallett, Gabbert, Newton.

None of them impress me much.

I don't see anybody worth picking up in Free Agency and there isn't a lot of options to go trade for.

I've got plenty of hope, but lot's of worry also.

[David Duke Is a Bad Person]

The Audacity of Hope, Nope, Dope.

To be honest, I never wanted Harbaugh. They can have him. There are too many other coaches and assistants in the NFL who I think will probably end up doing a better job. Harbaugh is hype---the flavor of the day.

Frisco ownership is not as smart as ours!

I am as excited as I have been lately. With 9 years of Fox, this franchise was becoming stagnant. A fresh start was in order. I am excited to see comments from management about a shift in philosophy, and that management is responsive to reality, and willing to adjust.

This team is on the verge of a new coaching staff, has the first choice in the draft, and is expected to compete in free agency. I am excited to see this franchise move past an antiquated philosophy and into a new direction.

And I am not worried about Andrew Luck. This franchise is greater than Andrew Luck.

[Catalyst]

We'll be alright. This might be a blessing in disguise. There's a very good possibility we either end up picking 1st again or can trade back into the pick and end up with Luck after all. And even if we don't, Matt Barkley is a much better QB than Gabbert/Newton/Locker/Mallet. Think Carson Palmer before his injury wrecked his career.

[jma1287]

The fact is teams make their own luck. The Jets weren't terrible because Manning stayed in school, but other decisions. Ten years from now if this franchise is a laughingstock, that isn't going to be because Luck stayed in school, but because of decisions actually in the franchise's power, like the ones that will be made in the next few months.
