Dangerous? Absolutely! Ready to take the NFL (or even the NFCS) by storm in 2011? Maybe not just yet.

I'm very optimistic about the future, but I can't help but feel like we're going to need at least a season or two for the ingredients to really come together into a delicious recipe.

Of the 7 guys in the photo above, 4 are really young or have never played a game with the Panthers. Sure, Shockey is a vet, but it may take awhile for him to adjust to things.

Of course, Smitty is a huge question mark, and unless I've missed something D-Will is also, even if to a lesser degree.

Hypothetically speaking, though, and saying all these guys will be here, there's no denying the talent. But I'd bet good money that we're going to need to remain patient throughout 2011.

Its the different formations that we could use that excites me. I dont know exactly what offense we will be running, but we have a lot of weapons on our offense. I dont think we will make the playoffs but we will surprise some people. If anything, Newton keeps defenses honest with his running abilities.

I'm not expecting greatness this year. The lockout will make it tough to prepare for this year.

Even without the lockout, I think we'd be lucky to win 6 given the schedule, the lack of experience on some skill positions, and of course, the QB situation.

And even though I favored drafting Cam Newton, we still have a situation at quarterback. We can't lose sight of that.

I can't say that I'm not excited about the new additions to the team. There is a lot of potentiel in Newton as well as other guys draft not just this year but last year as well, including Clausen.

But the success of this team this year will have very little if anything to do with the addition of players. The 2011 Panthers will be defined by the new coaching staff. If you were to tell me that the Panthers are going to win 8 games this season I would guess that either Newton or Clausen was the starting QB, Smith was or wasn't here, Williams did or didn't re-sign. The major changes this year are going to be coming from the coaching staff, not the players, IMO>

      Ticket Prices

      By toldozer · Posted

      I read an article a few days ago that places like Seattle green bay and a few others are revoking tickets rights to holders that sell 100% of their tickets. That would do a lot of good league wide for bringing back some home field advantages. We aren't the only team who's stadiums get over run by visitors. It happens basically everywhere. That would go a long way to bringing ticket costs down

      Panthers schedule is out

      yeah, you can basically copy and paste my thoughts from this time last year.   We are building an O more suited for Jake Delhomme than Bryce Young.  Tmac and XL sound great for the downfield gunslinger  Give them opportunities to make plays.  From what I have seen, and the scouting stuff I have read.....TMac does not project as a get open quick WR.  He is going to have to work on getting off the line at this level, getting open, etc.  Which is all good.  This you go to think people will be studs out the gate or you are hater logic just ain't what I do.   Take my XL stance last year.  I lobbied hard for him.  When we drafted him I immediately told folks to pump their breaks on the wild expectations.    If XL legitimately turned into what I think he can be.....his best setup in the league would not be paired w/ a QB like Young.  if Bryce was going to be the dude, I would have lobbied for Ladd vs XL.  I was an XL guy.   And again, I would have gone Warren/Jeanty this draft.   I would have invested in small ball talent for him to be the PG for.

      @TheBigKatare you going to Arizona? I'm thinking about making a road trip again. Haven't venture out since we got spanked in Miami a couple years ago
