So what do we need to be worried about?

Prior to the start of 2008....we worried about having an offense with Jake attemtping to be the first QB to successfully comeback from Tommy John. Offense rolled overall through the regular season w/ Double Trouble and Smitty leading the league in rec yards per game.

Prior to the start of 2009.....we thought we could maintain and make another playoff run. Opposite was true.

Prior to the start of 2010......we thought we needed to be worried about defense as the offense would carry us. Opposite was true.

Prior to the start of 2011.....we thought we needed to be worried about getting enough offense as the D would be solid enough. Opposite was true.

So now this year, we look to be worried about getting enough D to aid the offense........we tend to be wrong.

If anyone thought we could maintain and make anohter playoff run in the 2009 offseason, they were fooling themselves. I doubt it was a majority of fans that thought that we could. And I highly doubt the majority thought the offense would carry us in 2010.

Jerry Richardson gave that thought process the green light. Gave Fox his team back.....paid Pep 1 million per game.

in 2010, based off Matt Moore's finish.....I don't recall this board worried about the offense that much in the offseason. Carolina stomped on people to finish 2009.

There was definitely a feeling that the progress at the end of 2009, with Moore warming up, would carry over.

There were many in 2009 that believed that season was doomed after we gave Delhomme an extension after the 2008 playoff disaster. A lot of people were questioning Moore in 2010.

well, I don't think many questioned the offense as much until preseason started. I think overall, before that, this board at least was somewhat comfortable w/ the offense.

and yeah, I am talking overall.....I do realize many wanted to dump Jake after 2008. Many saw it coming.

all I am saying......is let the D get healthy, make some moves, give Rivera (who IMO is better defensive mind than Fox) an offseason......and I could see this D rapdily improving.

I could also see a sophomore slump for Newton as possible. Turnovers will be huge area to watch.

Damn.. hit the nail on the head. I wanted to make a post like this a few weeks ago but decided to wait till training camp but pfft..you put it way better than I would have anyway.

My answer:

I am worried about offense reaching lofty expectations that are being put forth. TBH I think everyone here is expecting Cam in his second year to lead us to a top 3 offense. I'm hoping we don't regress or have a devastating injury (smitty or cam) that sets us back.

      The good thing about replacing a bad player is you really have nothing to lose. If their replacement is bad so what, you didn't get much worse and probably saved money.

      I came over from the old Panthers Insider site. When Fox Sports bought that platform it slowly just started dying plus the guy who ran that site was dealing with some pretty significant health issues so the whole thing just slowly fell apart. Quite a few of us migrated over here. Not sure how many are still around.  I miss that place. It struck a nice balance of having enough active posters to keep productive conversation flowing but didn't have so much traffic that you end up with a lot of trolling BS. This place is getting there though since we shutdown new registrations but at some point we're going to have to open it back up or we'll watch this place slowly die off too as posters fall off for one reason or another. We just have to figure out a way to filter out the spam bots. It was a never ending battle to ban the spam bots to keep then from overrunning the site. You'd think they'd be a little more strategic. I mean, if you fill a site with nothing but spam people are just going to stop coming so it's not a sustainable model. But nope, every one of them makes dozens of duplicate threads filling up pages upon pages as soon as their account goes live.

      lol...I don't remember that.  Although recalling what I had for breakfast yesterday is sometimes a challenge.  Hope it was a positive thing.
