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>

      Looking Way Ahead, But.

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I didn't say I thought throwing it was a bad decision, I said I thought not running those 3-5 yard routes to pick up the 1st down wasn't a great call.  Yes the play worked out, but I didn't love the play call, it's like when a bad shooter is taking a 3 and you're yelling "no no no" as they're going up and then they make it so it worked out. That's still gambling on them to make the play and I take no issue with that. But I just went and watched the play again, we had T-Mac and XL running downfield crossing routes, Coker went in motion behind the LOS and then moved up a yard or two after the snap but not even past the LOS, Sanders chipped the DE and then ran a drag route right long the LOS. The play worked out, but I don't really like that particular play call and route tree with the game on the line on a 4th and 2.  If you want to send one route downfield as an option that's fine, but there were only 2 realistic target options with that route tree and they were both 15-20 yards downfield.

      Chuba is a better back than Rico.

      If BY comes back, they 100% need to bring in legit competition.    Heres what as you are alluding too. This team can either sign Icky&Mays or BY, I do not see both without cuts/trades/etc. My vote is for Icky&Mays, draft a QB....

      JB shouldn’t even be a thought IMO.  Bonus if he ever matters for us.
