Anyone else think we’re getting too hyped

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.

My expectations for this upcoming season are higher than last season. That said, I can only see playoffs with a lot of things lining up. We need enough of these young players to make a meaningful impact, we need others in our division to falter, and most importantly, we need some luck in keeping this unit relatively healthy throughout the season. At full strength, this team has potential to be scrappy good but we don't have the margin of error others teams do.

I think we always do, but I think Morgan is showing signs of being special.  I am optimistic about our rookie edge rushers.  Maybe we are too hyped about TMac, but I am really warming up to him nd think he could be special.  I think we win 9 based on the fact that we won 5 last year and were only competitive for about half of it.

At least we don’t have anthony richardson.
 

TRENDING: #Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson spends his time off the field as a RAPPER and goes by the name of GVO.

Richardson released a song called “Villain.”

Richardson: “I be throwing like Drew Brees..”

That is so bad. Even worse, it’s bad and unoriginal. If you need to auto tune a basic ass flow like that then just stop.

Hype away..... it is the dead space between mini-camp and training camp. The hype is for fans. Players know that you have put in the work and by all reports they seem ready to do it. After all, the last few years the only hype we got was early as we sucked down the road. It is sad panthers fans can't enjoy the hype for fear it isn't going to work out.

Funny how some of the loudest voices now "cautioning optimism" were the same ones spending all last offseason trying to smother any hope or support... 👀

Weren't they inevitably correct?   Odd take on trying to dunk on someone?

5tds. 

Zero interceptions.  

Every single one of you should be downright giddy of Bryce Youngs true potential.  

If our defense can be at least, average, this team is going to knock the fug out of some teams.

    • 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.
