Luke is my hero and I love DJ Campbell.

Thought Naka was going to be special...

Most memorable moment is a tie between Thomas Davis being a force once again and seeing Luke play his guts out all year long. Both of them out there was such a wow factor for me...really proud of our guys.

For me it boils down to these two games... week 2 and week 3 of this yr. We come home and win a great game after a loss to tampa and then on primtime we get throttled. My expectations for this season were through the roof, but that was tempered and with good reason. We had so much to learn about ourselves and getting rid of Marty might have been the key factor in turning this ship around. I love Gmagic and Rivera has the support of the team. Let this team gel and come out next year with a sense of purpose and togetherness that will infect the fan base and take over the league. I think we will.

-Will 2013 be Rivera's last season? Yes

Approve or Disapprove of our current direction? There is much to like about our roster and it's ability going forward. However, our team is going to be held back by a very inexperienced coaching staff, lead by a HC that I don't believe in. Further, I don't believe JR is the same man after his illness, and he is not making the right moves as an owner.

-What's your favorite win

First Saint game this year when I still had hope.

-Describe your mood about the team with keywords

I'll assume by team you mean the entire panther organization.

Repetitive failure (tired), familiar failures (worn out), devastating (seemingly hopeless with this coach and owner), oblivious (more towards our team's FO), potential (why I am so upset over all this BS), young, disorganized, leadership pretty non-existent (still building), SLOW, falling behind

ok positives in there only potential....hmmm maybe....nope can't think of much...potential of a better future is really all we have.

-Rate it out of 10

Rate the team out of ten?

Players: 7

Coaching and FO: 3

But they rely on one another...

-Favorite/Least Favorite acquisition

Olsen, worst = Naka

-Worst Loss

First Falcon game this year, I fuging hate the falcons fug the falcons

-Favorite draft pick

Cam

-Most memorable moment

Best: Cam to smitty pass over the left shoulder in the corner of the end zone...I was a believer after that. Not many positive memorable moments. Jacksonville last year was awesome.

Worst: Rivera's dumbass onside kick this year

-Will 2013 be Rivera's last season?

I really hope so.

DISAPPROVE.

-What's your favorite win (hard to pick just one from all those moral victories)

-Describe your mood about the team with keywords (fire Ron Rivera)

-Rate it out of 10 (13/32)

-Favorite/Least Favorite acquisition (Olsen/Rivera)

-Worst Loss (between the Chiefs last season and the Vikings in '11. Maybe give the edge to the Chiefs game since we probably would've beaten the Vikings if our kicker wasn't retarded)

-Favorite draft pick (are you kidding me?)

-Most memorable moment (any of the 10,000 instances the camera panned over to the sideline and captured Ron with that signature glazed over look in his eyes; or when we fired Hurney for being retarded)

-Will 2013 be Rivera's last season? (Wish 2012 was his last season)

Approve or Disapprove of our current direction? Well it takes being competent in three positions to be able to compete in this league. Good GM, good coach, good QB. So far we've got 2/3, hopefully 3/3 when we replace Ron next season.

I think Rivera/the Panthers are the worst thing that could have happened to Cam. Imagine if he was on a real team, like Kaepernick is.

[panthers55]

What do I think about the Rivera and Cam regime. I think both of them have learned a lot over the two years and have each made a ton of mistakes. But I am optimistic that now have the proper skills sets to win. Cam knows what he needs to do to win and how he needs to be a leader on the team. Rivera knows that playing not to lose ensures you will. I know that 6-10 and 7-9 are nothing to get excited about but they are 4 more wins than Fox had in his last 2 years and he was coming off a 12-4 season in 2008. Rivera on the other hand inherited a 2-14 team that every agreed was largely devoid of any real talent.

We have more talent on the team than when Rivera inherited it after Richardson gutted it. We have a coaching staff that is actually pretty solid and we have a new GM who is by all accounts a great judge of talent and has a solid reputation.

The Rivera era has been a transition between the worse team in the NFl by far to one that can contend in any game and is a tough out. But for 5 or 6 plays in 2012, we could have easily made the playoffs.

As for those who don't believe in Rivera, all I will say is that I am glad you are fans and not players. Ultimately it matters if they believe in the coach where as for fans it really doesn't matter.

No I didn't copy and paste all the suggested responses since most things were covered already and I wanted to talk about other things.

I think Rivera/the Panthers are the worst thing that could have happened to Cam. Imagine if he was on a real team, like Kaepernick is.

I remember when Cam came out everyone said that he would need 2 or 3 years to be ready to play. Rivera and Chud tailored their offense to meet his skills and without an off-season he had an unprecedented year.

If he had played for San Francisco he would have sat the bench of 22 of his 32 games and really made the Superbowl based on the rest of the team who came within a play of making it last year. He would be further behind than he is right now. Kapernick may be in the Superbowl but I don't think he is as complete a quarterback as Newton.
