"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.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth

      What a Possible Trading Out of 1st Round May* Look Like

      The fact that this is even a discussion is a testament of the level of front office badassery that's going on.

      Not always. LT was for the Giants. So was Ray Lewis. Von Miller was moreso than Manning his final year in the season that shall not be named. It's usually the QB, but not always.
