Anyone else think we’re getting too hyped

I don’t really believe that what we talk about in the off-season has much to do with what the team does this coming season, but if you did wouldn’t it make more sense to be as hyped as possible? Like if fans were super hyped and excited and felt the team was a real contender to the point of selling out our home games and painting BOA in Panthers blue wouldn’t that help the team, not hurt it? I don’t get the kill the vibe approach and never have.

I'll say this, I have seen Tepper era teams more hyped up around here than this current one on the huddle.  

I think year 2 of Matt Rhule and year 1 of Frank Reich at THIS time of the year were more hyped around here.

The offseason is when we're allowed to hope and dream! 😄

Though I can understand fans lacking in emotional resiliency wanting to be hesitant to hope instead of mope.

The offense is in a good spot, but that D is still atrocious. A lot of guys have to have the best year of their careers for it to be an average NFL defense.

It's the middle of June and the world is effing falling apart all around us.

Right now, I have the currently UNDEFEATED Panthers and Spaceballs 2 to give me hope for the future.

Let's keep the optimism for the little things, ok?

I just placed 300$ on the Panthers for the season. 

100$ that we win the Super Bowl (+15000) pays 15K

100$ that we win the division (+450) pays 450$

100$ for Tetairoa McMillan to win ROTY (+1300) pays 1,300$


Now that my bets have been placed for the year, we can all get hyped! Buy at the bottom, cash out at the top yall. Lets Go!!!!!

*I know these chances are low, but it makes the season more exciting!!!

I feel like we're viewed/projected as a team ranked around 24-28th in the league.  This is moving up from the cellar at 28-32 but I don't see it overhyped lol.

I've said it before-I think realistic expectations is not a specific record, but how long we can technically stay in playoff contention before getting knocked out.  It would be nice to see us hang in there until week 15-18 rather than know by week 9 that we're staying cellar dwellers.

even national media is talking like this team is about to do something.

The majority of everything i have seen in the form of 2026 draft picks to season predictions has us losing even more games this year.

Vegas only has 5 teams with a lower over/under than the Panthers in 2025. 

Browns, Saints, Jets, Titans and Giants.  Then us.

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
