8 or 9 wins. 6 is the floor.

truth

if there's any possible angle you can take to say the panthers suck and will continue to suck from the top down, people are going to find it...because that's the only angle they are looking from. it's old and it's tiring.

Kurb is rarely here,maybe enough to post two days a year and I think even he doesn't have admin powers any more.

Mods can't do it. I wish we or at least someone in here had admin powers to do something like this, but it's just Zod.

looks like people have already written the season off. they (think they) know there's nothing left but to fail. it's the easy option.

at some point, though, you just have to suck it up and accept it and deal with the bad deal you got. you go through funks where you keep making mistakes and hope that you get it figured out sometime soon, but in the learning process you realize you could have done some things better but you're stuck with decisions you make. you have two choices...whine about it or just brush it off and hope can make the situation you put yourself work. i know a lot of people in here have probably never experienced or dealt with failure much in their lives, but i have and i learned to just suck it up and try to make the best of the situation you've got yourself in because you realize that you're stuck with it for a while. doesn't do any good to keep harping over what you wish you had done better. you already know that. now it's just about moving forward from here and making the best of it and hoping you can make something of it. it's the easiest thing in the world to look at where Bryce falls short...and yes, that was intentional. everyone knows that and all that is done is beating that horse laying on the ground. what takes some work is trying to see how it can work and if they have done and are doing things to help the situation get better.

And because of this you're going to hold onto highly unrealistic expectations of him. You'll never be satisfied. At this point it doesn't matter where he was drafted. We got him. We aren't getting another Cam. We lucked out. How often do QBs drafted in the top 3 or even at #1 turn into absolute studs? It doesn't matter that they "should".

but it's ok to more pressure on the QB when the whole situation around him is a flaming pile of poo? this whole idea that a QB can/should turn a pile of chicken poo into a chicken salad is pretty lame, because in the end it's still just chicken poo and shouldn't be eaten.

and get clicks. just find last year's news when you want attention and say the same damn thing every time. lazy man's job. are they saying anything new? no. why? because they either aren't smart enough or they are desperate for attention/clicks. or they just like being the next in line to beat a dead horse. which apparently is all we do around here so i guess they know their audience.

it's like it writes itself. you don't have to do any thinking. just keep repeating the same things that everyone else does.

we're probably up there as far as the whiniest in the country, too.

Y'all sure know how to make mountains out of pimples.

Probably. At the very least you'll see him blow up a few big runs and go, "yeah....now I get it!" But the guy is going to be a stud and he'll be one this year. It might be a slow start out if the gate, but we'll see it.

you will.

Being food insecure means you have trouble securing food. It's mainly in reference to poorer families and children in homes where they don't have access to food consistently. We all need to be doing more, especially those who have a lot more.

unless you qualify for medicaid. you don't get the best places, typically, and it's no resort area, but if you need long term care, that's an option. you either have to be REALLY well off or at the poverty line. it's a challenge to get by, but i'm around a lot of people who manage to pull it off. i know a lot of people are stressed that they won't have a million in their retirement built up, but they don't need to. unless you are fixed on having this one particular lifestyle and want to live it up while you're retired, you can make it. you just have to learn to be smart and adaptable and get past this idea that retirement is supposed to look like it did when boomers retired. unless you lucked out, you're not going to have it easy when you retire. but life isn't meant to be easy. just manageable.

i guess we needed something else to be upset over. why not this?

That's one way if looking at it, for sure, and I think that opinion is justified. But it's still just an opinion shaded through the lenses of suck that has taken place since Rhule got in. Like I said above, I think we have the foundation for a good team. Not that we are a good team, but we have the foundation for one. That's what I see and I see us building that with Morgan and Canales. Last year was as bad as it's going to get and it's going to get better this year and going forward. That's just how I see it. One of us will be right. I hope I am. But neither of us know for sure at this point because we haven't played a game.

Every team, including ours, has talented players on it. Disagree with that all you want, but it's true. We are not devoid of talent. Now do we have depth or as much talent as the top 10 teams? No. But we have talent. We have the players needed to get us to 6-8 wins. We could have even pulled that off last year with better coaching. I think we're definitely going to be able to pull that off this year. We can at least pull off 5. Does more need to be added to thos team in coming years? Sure. But guess what? We will. This year was about ripping pieces out and reinstalling the floor. From here we build up

From conversations I've had, there's a lot of women folk that would watch just for Canales.

I think people are underestimating the talent we've gotten in our team now. Not saying we're great, but I think we're going to be a lot better than people think. We're not that far away from being a solid playoff team. Mock, poo, and/or disagree all you want, buy I don't think we're as bad now as we were last year. I think the coaching situation was the thing that sunk us. Not having such a clusterfug of a coaching situation cost us 5-6 games.
