What would you have said before the season

With these scenarios we now know?

1. The defense would be worse than it was last year?

2. Cam would have more INT than TDs?

3. We wouldn't use Mike Tolbert?

4. Our only division win is against the Saints?

5. Our only win is against the Saints?

6. The franchise would hit rock bottom on National TV?

7. Rivera lacks the emotion to fire up the team?

8. Beason would not perform at the same level?

9. Our special teams is worse?

10. We are running a college offense?

We tried to use Tolbert on two very important 3rd down passes vs Atl and he dropped the ball. That's not a scheme or game plan issue. I thought that 4th and 1 was the right time to see what we had in Tolbert as well. In that case...he was not used.

Beason's form is surprising but he has an injury.

Not worse...

2. Cam would have more INT than TDs?

Technically he has 7 total TDs, 5 INTs

3. We wouldn't use Mike Tolbert?

Tolbert has at least 1 15+ yard rec in 3 of 4 games. Not sure why people though he would get many touches here

4. Our only division win is against the Saints?

Thought Tampa would be it but 1 division win isn't a shock in itself

5. Our only win is against the Saints?

Wouldn't of guess that

6. The franchise would hit rock bottom on National TV?

I wouldn't call that rock bottom, could be an early turning point if we continue moving in the direction we started the week after

7. Rivera lacks the emotion to fire up the team?

Meh. Tony Dungy is a great leader. Only the team knows.

8. Beason would not perform at the same level?

That shouldn't be a shocker, that was the realistic assumption

9. Our special teams is worse?

Not worse

10. We are running a college offense?

Anyone who watched last year should of known what we are

3- Expected

4- Not expected, I seen the saints going 2-0 against Carolina and Tampa

5- See #4

6- Expected

7- Expected

I was optimistic, so I probably would have laughed in your face if you told me those things. That will be the last time I make the mistake of having hope in the offseason that the Panthers might be good the following year. The time for hope is over, it's time for results. Until wins occur I will just watch and enjoy, no more starry eyed imaginings of rings and titles. Just here and now.

At the very best, I figured we'd be 8-8. I was thinking more along the lines of 5-6 wins again. I knew we we would have problems when we didn't fix the pass rush/D-Line. Either we fix the back end of the defense with studs and have no pass rush or fix the pass rush.

I shook my head at all the people on this forum that thought we were going 10+ wins. It is not realistic with our talent or coaches.

    • Gonna be interesting to watch. All reporting indicates he's gonna be out. From what I'm hearing he's out. The interesting part will be what happens next. The job has been staying within the "family" since Dean retired. But there's no one within the family that makes any sense at all right now. They'll have to go outside the family to hire a coach that's likely to be successful and tension between the school and the basketball family is already high right now with this plot to move the arena to Carolina North because the folks within the basketball family want it to stay at the Dean Dome and they feel misled because they feel like there was never any real consideration of revamping the Dean Dome and this whole evaluation process was just meant to make it look like that was being considered. The best outcome here IMO is that we hire a great coach from outside the family and we revamp the Dean Dome as an olive branch to the family. But the powers that be REALLY want a new arena at Carolina North.
    • yeah outside of 3 shots in a row for arsenal nothing has happened.  I need a quick goal for them and then MC start to press.  Need 2 shots for Arsenal and all 4 still for MC
