everytime we finish a season well -the media pumps us up as threat and we underachieve. anyone got any reasons history will not repeat itself in 2013?

Here's the thing.

We don't have a history of underachieving after we play / finish well for a season. We just have a history of being underachieving. We underachieve in the years we're hyped or after we've finished / played well because underachieving has been the order of the day for all but the following seasons: 1996, 2003, 2005, 2008.

To your question? What we can tell you is that with Cam's arrival the culture of "eh we'll get 'em next time" and being OK with losing in our locker room started to change. Guys who already didn't like it started speaking up and there is an obvious difference even between this year and the last when you listen to guys speak. The longer an influence like that is around, even if he is sometimes obnoxious in how he shows it, the less likely it is we will underachieve.

We might suck next year. We probably won't be hyped regardless. Worry that you will suck next year is a rite of passage for every NFL fan in every offseason.

No way ill ever get gotten like I did this year. I'm gonna make them show me who they are instead of bragging about what they will be the entire offseason... Ill be hype next year when the season starts, but not nearly as much as I was this year. Now, I know better... Despite our roster moves or what happens between now and then, there is no way I will EVER get that excited about a football season ever again.

We all had a right to be excited after seeing what our offense was capable of during Cam's rookie year... And we all learned our lesson that not even Cam can beat his OC.

      Best way to Stream

      The new (released today) FOX ONE app will allow you access to watch your Local FOX Station - similar to how the Paramount Plus app allows you access to watch your local CBS station It'll cost you $20/month for the privilege, but if you're having trouble accessing the over-the-air antenna for FOX, this could be an option to consider the new ESPN app will give you access to ESPN content, but not to the local ABC affiliate. A reminder: if you currently get ESPN via some TV provider (cable, satellite, youtube, etc) then you should be able to use the new ESPN app via your provider login, no additional payment required

      XL went to one of the worst teams in the NFL.  One that features a weak passing O and bad overall QB play on the season.   XL is getting way too much hate IMO.   He had an okay rookie season all things considered.   Very much on par w/ prospects that projected around the same area with him.   Panthers made a 2nd rounder a first round technicality for that contract.  XL also getting this weird kicker type blame for games.  XL somehow single handedly lost us games on one play.....and then we ignore the rest of the team that went about losing the game for 4 quarters.   Should he of caught the Philly ball? 100%.  The O and D still played like garbage that entire game.  Even after the drop, Panthers had two shots starting w/ a 3rd and 4 to convert.  They kept playing bad instead.  And even if we XL made the play....Philly would have had a minute and half to get into FG range to win it.  Who is banking on the Panther D getting that stop?  also, I am deemed Mr. Negative, yet here I am defending a no good dirty Gamecock lol
