Will the Panthers back it up next season?

I believe they can. but i have little history to go on. the only playoff run i really followed in the moment was our 2008 meltdown. the 2005 run cemented my interest in football as a 13 year old kid so i was pretty ignorant and didnt follow the offseason. the SB run was more to spend time with my dad (Superadiabatic here on the Huddle) than because i liked the Panthers.

 

this has been a nagging question on my mind all season. We've never had back to back winning seasons. is it finally gonna happen? what happened after each of the Panther's playoff runs to cause the next season to implode? any signs the same thing will happen this time?

Yes the core of this group is young and this time we actually have a  QB, not just a gun slinger that gets lucky.  The Def will remain dominate if Hardy can somehow stay if not we will still be good and allow younger cheaper guys to grow into bigger roles.  Off we still need that big time WR (hopefully the draft this year).  KEEP POUNDING!

should have added this to the OP but i am focused like a laser on the playoffs. i'll be at the game this weekend so next season doesnt really matter right now. BUt as a fan i can still speculate. besides... as a younger fan in terms of years following the team, this post was meant more for people to teach me some offseason history about my team so i can follow the upcoming offseason better.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
