I was at the Greenbriar in (by god) WV this weekend. My wife and I were in the casino getting ready to cash out when i noticed the person in front of me in the line was Mike Shanahan. Of course my wife was ecstatic(redskins fan) but he asked what our names where and I of course let him know I was a panthers fan. He said I should be real happy where the franchise was is headed ( and I am ) and stated that Cam changed the way he viewed quarter backs.

I then asked him if he thought he gave up too much to move up to pick RGII and that I thought he did. He paused and answered, "would you have gave that much up for Cam", i said "knowing what I know now yes but we didn't have to and nobody at the time even knew how well he would transition to the nfl". he replied "I think he handled that really well." he said he thought RGII had a lot of the same skill set as Cam and is excited." I then said " but two firsts and a second round pick?" He said "Well you have to have a franchise quarter back and I'm sure you understand that" (smart ass) He said "they did their home work and he thinks it will work out but if it didn't it would set their franchise back 10 years". I was cordial and shook his hand and wished him luck...

Anyway, just a tid bit of personal first hand information...

      I wish we could upgrade safety and put Scotts ass on the bench. ILB and Edge would also be nice.

      It was hard to imagine beating Dallas and GB, so at this point I put nothing past this team. There are no asterisks in the record books.  Yes, Kraft got knocked out, but our piece meal line blanked one of the premier pass rushers in the league and our RB is playing like prime AP. DB is our best DT in 23 years, shuts down the run and draws at least 2 holding calls every game. This is one of the better secondaries this team has ever fielded.  O line depth may be the best this team has ever had and I am now comfortable in saying we have FINALLY found a true franchise LT. We have a stud #1 wr whose potential is just waiting to be unlocked and we also have an all world RB (for now).  This is neither a bad nor a good team, but they’ve showed identity and that they CAN  hang with the better teams in the league. They 100% look the part of a Panthers team. Physical team that runs the ball and plays fundamentally sound defense, usually. They’ll lose close games, get boat raced at least twice a season but then out of nowhere win a few they aren’t supposed to. They’ve gone from the easiest to the hardest team to handicap.  They are undeniably headed in the right direction, and are a QB, head coach and a few defensive pieces away from being serious contenders. Besides QB, the offense is set. WTF?  To conclude my mindless rambling, this is the PERFECT team for Mike Tomlin to come next. He and Morgan would mesh very well.  I have no expectations going forward but nothing will surprise me at this point.
