what would be a successful 2011 season for you?

The win/loss record the team achieves is less important to me than a clear sense that we are getting the pieces in place for long-term, sustainable success.

And please, no more draft day deals that leave us with less than a full slate of picks in 2012.

The Panthers field three QB's at once in the backfield - snapping to a seemingly random QB all combined throwing 100 TDs to a youthfully rejuvenated Steve Smith, and go on to win the Superbowl by going 19-0.

successful season to me, at least

I don't care about our record next year as long as one way or another we at least appear to have our Franchise QB.

I would have to agree. I am not so focused on wins or losses but rather whether or not we can play Jim Johnson type defense and find our version of Phillip Rivers and mimic San Diego's offense. I could be happy with whatever happens if we find our franchise QB for the next decade. Seems to me if we do that, the wins will take care of themselves.

This is pretty much how I feel.

I'm thinking 6-10 would show good progress with the tough schedule we'll have. 2012 could be our year though! We'll have good team and weak schedule. playoffs 2012!

If there is footall, I will share my keen observations in regards to our chances for making the playoffs after it has been acknowledged...
