Anyone else think we’re getting too hyped

[NAS]

I always expected it locally but even national media is talking like this team is about to do something. I personally don’t like it, because it rarely works out that way. The blueprint stuff too. When you start speaking like you have arrived it diminishes the drive and the hunger it takes to compete. We haven’t won even a game yet, I am cautiously optimistic, but this team has too many questions from a roster and development perspective to be talking nonsense like playoffs or even a division title. Let’s just enjoy the journey and take it easy with the projections.

Our hype should be independent of the work the team and players put in. fug the karma. Let’s be happy while we can. 

[L-TownCat]

Meh… it’s better than being an afterthought.

[LinvilleGorge]

This is the time for positivity. Everyone is undefeated and coming off of an off-season of hopefully helpful moves. We'll find out what the reality is soon enough.

Let us have something nice before something sucky happens. Hype all the way

[Whoops]

True story!  I’ve built a work of art over the years in the belly region.  It’s time to reverse course and create a new work of art!  So, I’ve been skipping lunch and using my lunch money on Bryce Young MVP bets!  It’s win, win.  I’m gonna be rich and sexy!

Knowns:

top 10 o line

2 proven, quality RBs

2 proven, WRs who get open and catch everything. 2 others who show a lot of ‘potential’

A QB who improved greatly in the last few games of the season, topped off by putting up a 40 burger win in OT in this franchise’s kryptonite house. What will transpire this season is yet to be seen. 

defense has far less proven. 2  very good CBs, a stud DT (coming off a major injury) and the rest is, again, ‘potential.’ A DC that is essentially starting the season on the hot seat. 

This is not 2003, but it could be good. 2003 was the most stacked roster from top to bottom that this team has ever had. This squad finished on a big upswing, yes, but we’ll see. 

I think it all comes down to how spiked your hopium is.

The running game is where it is for the team. This is not a defense that will win 3 points games. Just not. To win, this team will have to dominate TOP and come up with 2+ more 3rd down stops each game. Again, do-able and should be good for at least a 7 point differential in our favor, ‘hopefully.’ 

I will say that it is nice seeing talent that actually belongs in the NFL on our roster.

While I have a chance to be overly excited I'll take that opportunity. The team will determine what happens with that. It's been a while since we've had much to be excited about, I'd say let's just embrace it and see how it unfolds.

[Waldo]

Yes. It's fluff time anyways but it's getting a bit ridiculous. I don't believe this mix has ever worked for the Panthers before. Break .500 and then start the hype.

Our division is semi weak.  We have a real shot to do well this year.

[Mistuh Jones]

Nobody's seriously saying superbowl. I will say 8 wins tho 

[CRA]

Guess it depends on what people think we are hyped into being this year.   Which I think is pretty broad. 

I think about 7ish wins is about right.  Which is in line w/ Vegas.
