"I fully expect the Carolina Panthers to win the Super Bowl next year. That's my expectations," Davis said. "Everybody's talking about (how) we'll make the playoffs. So what? Anybody can make the playoffs. We're trying to win the Super Bowl."

Those lofty expectations are new for Davis. While he said the Panthers' goal was to win the Super Bowl last year, he said he did not truly expect for it to happen in 2011.

"Last year we didn't really know what to expect," Davis said. "We had a new offense. Everything was new. We didn't really have time to come together in the offseason because of the lockout. So we really went into last season not knowing what to expect."

"As a team, your goal every year should be to win the Super Bowl. That's what it was going in. But it was a lot different last year than this year right now because we know what to expect from our offense. We know what kind of defensive guys we've got once we get out there and get everybody healthy and put it all together. So we know what we're capable of doing. It's all about going out and executing and doing it."

i absolutely love it. sounds like that confidence and level of expectation is prevelant throughout the team. i believe they can pull it off.

I do realize that as fans we are programmed to have high expectations. But there is a different felling this year. Which is why I believe there is so much harping going on now. Because we have our Franchise QB, some fans are less patient than others. Whether it is the instant world or just self absorbsion, there are fans that cannot wait for the team to be a finished product.

I also realize that the negative nancy types have been around a long time, and they are not going anywhere soon. The good thing is they are a minority. With a side effect of most being more entertaining than annoying.

When you are young you have to let the talent play out. It is an unfortunate neccessiity of building. We are close, close enough to be scary. If the if's get answered, we will take another step up the ladder. The next off-season very welll could finish the building proccess, which should finish that climb, and position us on the verge of that elite group.

Being scary is cool, don't get me wrong. But I am positively giddy over the prospects for the future.

I have a request. Please do not use a players college performance against him. Plenty of players blossom when they hit the big time. It is called exceeding expectations, and it happens quite a bit. It is the main reason fans get excited over young players. Is this the guy that explodes? It is the reason I go to Training Camp.

Ah hell, unlike the Panthers, I am finished. And WE WILL HAVE A MUCH IMPROVED D THIS YEAR.

    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical. 
    • Football is not the professional sport where timidness and apprehension are justly rewarded. 
    • Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
