Accelerated Improvement For The Panthers

[Zod]

Last season, due to the lockout, the Panthers were affected in much more of a negative way than most other teams.

New coaches, new players, new schemes, new QB, no off season.

The good news is that this season the reverse should occur. The Panthers should see an accelerated improvement that other teams who are settled in to years worth of a scheme will not see.

Between individual workouts, weight training, class and film room, one could assume that there are plenty of "light bulb" moments as they reflect now on what they were doing last season.

Bottom line, even if the Panthers don't sign one more free agent, they are already a better and more prepared team than last season. Optimistically throw in the long list of injured players and we are competitive and in the hunt.

Yeah, cuz no one had any film on us last year <_<

[Zod]

Not really. Other teams had plenty of film on us by mid season and we still were in every game. The learning curve for our new schemes is much more drastic than other teams who have a good grasp of their schemes watching our film and making small changes to adjust adjust to it.

Plus, we got a human bowling ball, sparkplug, ninja and John Coffey, like the drink but not spelled the same. Damn, that's a long nickname.

and I expect the playbook will grow a bit this year - Chud seems to be a pretty imaginative guy

Also we had a disproportionate amount of injuries last year, so we should pray to Sir Francis Galton: the Patron Saint of Regression to the Mean.

Or maybe it won't, 'do to' a sophomore slump.

I just hope we are more 2009 Packers than 2011 Bucs.

Both were expected to take huge leaps with young star QBs.

Packers stepped up, Bucs fell apart.

We'll also be adding 4 1st rounders to this year's team which could propel us into the playoffs.

Also, don't forget, David Gettis is back. My sources say NFL officials compared him to Jerry Rice coming out of college but he fell due to poor interviews.
