"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.

      Hoping you guys keep it up

      It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️

      Cam on ‘The Bank’

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
