You can have the best team in the league and still lose the big game. See 2015, the year that broke me. 

After that, I can't really get too excited anymore. Now I just take it for what it is and don't get my hopes up. 

Don't have much resiliency. I spent tons to go to San Francisco and see the game live only to suffer all those Bronco fans and the loss. It didn't break me it only made me hungrier to get back and hopefully win it all. I am all in this year just like every year.

Just verifying here:  You're almost 80 years old? 

Next March, sir.  I've seen 'em all, back to Jim Brown's first season, in the 50's.  Season ticket holder in the Dolphins' inaugural season, in 1966.  Still get excited about the game!

Very nice b/c anyone that I know that's in their 70's or 80's would not have a clue how to navigate a forum!

I'd love to calm your expectations. The Panthers might be cursed because they have a black cat as a mascot. Nothing says cursed more than having an almost perfect season trounced by a hated division rival in the 2nd to last week, and losing a painstaking Superbowl to gimpy armed Peyton Manning.

Also, Ron Rivera is still the head coach. There will still be massive holes in his super soft zone coverages that will be exploited by teams all season long, regardless if the pass rush improves. It was still a massive weakness of the team even in the 2013 season - a tea that featured a potent pass rush and had 60 sacks on the season.

This team could threaten in the NFC if all the pieces come together. Or, could hilariously fail.

Do you know Hurney personally? 

Berry hasn't played much in the last 2 seasons. He is a shell of his former self. You are hanging onto a name that isnt who he used to be. 2 years and 3 games? Nobody wants that and it's why he is a FA. This has been stated multiple times on the huddle.

Everyone knows that how well we do depends on Cam. Probably won’t see much of him until week 1. And of course if he is to stay healthy that o-line has to keep him clean. Staying out of 3rd and long would be a big help.

With the addition of GMC our front should be devastating. Ron calling the plays and being more aggressive in the secondary will help a lot.

Overall this team has upgraded everywhere except safety(Gaulden?). Even the staff has improved, looking for big things this season.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
