The biggest differences between the 2002 team and now are:

1. We are playing in by far the best and toughest division (2002 not so much)

2. We had a vet QB in 2002....now not so much.

Is there an outside chance at 7 or so wins....sure. We do have a lot of talent and much will depend on how Newton plays.

I still think that 5-6 wins is far more likely.....but I do like your optimism.

The NFC South in 2002 was arguably the toughest division in football. It had three teams above 500, and the fourth place team (us) had a top notch defense. Tampa won the Superbowl, and Atlanta was a wildcard team that went to Green Bay and beat the division champs on the wildcard weekend. I doubt the NFC south will be that good this year.

While I agree the lockout is not helping us. Newton is doing all he can to learn our playbook. I am sure other members of our offense have the playbook and are learning their role as well.

If training camp starts on time. I believe we will come along just fine.

Like I said in the opening post. IF.....IF.....IF we go 2-2 out of the gate. I think offense and defense will start to gel and we will be in the hunt.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
