Time for a motivational speech about Panthers' Pride in 2009

The Panthers were 12-4 last year, and notwithstanding a collective brain fart from some of the key players (on the field and on the sidelines), The Panthers would have probably played in another game or two. Now you have sports pundits, and even fans, basically setting .500 give or take a game, as the standard this coming season, despite having basically the same team (with one more year of experience under its belt, and a bad taste in its mouth[a taste that smacks of Cardinal]). One main thing that I feel a lot of people are forgetting is that sometimes irritation breeds motivation, and with that motivation comes a huge chip on the shoulder that fuels heart.

This season, in a large part, is going to show us about the true heart of the organization as it exists today. The Panthers have had to sit around for weeks thinking about how they got punked in their own house, in front of a national audience, with the big dance just (just) over the horizon.

I am thinking---as a matter of fact, I know---that this talented team has a lot of pride. It has some mouths to shut, some scores to settle, and some asses to kick. Look at the chip on that shoulder as a diamond in the rough.

This isn't like last year when people were saying much the same thing, now there are a bunch of "wounded" cats that may have been punked into a corner, but will come out with a ferocity that will ironically catch a bunch of detractors and "downgraders" off guard.

It's all about the Panthers' Pride in 2009. Watch out!

Remember that: Sometimes irritation breeds motivation.

Good post... i agree, i think the whole team is going to come out on fire. that loss has been festering for quite a while, and if the coaches know what they're doing - and they do - they'll find a way to channel that festering into chip-on-the-shoulder fire out on the field.

Not this season but next we will do good thats how we roll 1 good season and bad the next sorry!

because we are slaves to our past. :lol: go to training camp and tell the players that. i would love it. tell them that it doesn't matter how much they change or try to improve, it is going to result in a bad season. i'm sure they will listen to your intelligent sentiments and appreciate you keeping them from their futile effort to have a winning season.

So original. Did you think of that on your own?

Last year is over, I don't base this year on what happened last year. We have the talent to win as many games as last year. This upcoming season will be the Panthers best season ever!

There is enough negativity in the world as it is, why would I help spread more?

Every season I hear most sports writers say something like 'The Panthers will go as far as Jake takes them'. I agree. We can drag Jake to the Playoffs, but it's on his shoulders to advance and win the SB. Either he pulls an Arizona part 2, or we advance. Jake is the weakest link. If he sucks, then the chain breaks. So I say we go as far as Jake can take us.

The odds of another Arizona performance is like 1 in a million. I'm counting on it anyway.

Look i would love for them to prove me wrong but untill then im going with the facts of our teams history.Even if they play good something will happen watch i promise you injuries or something just watch.

7-9 here we come

facts that the past dictates that what the panthers or anyone else does in the future. that we are enslaved to the past. the fact that we have no choice...the panthers destiny is screwed and written in stone.

pardon me if i don't buy your crap. i still would love for you to go to training camp and let the panthers know that history says that no matter what they do or how hard they work, they aren't going to have a winning season. i'm sure that they will appreciate it just like we all do.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers.

      Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
