Help me, I'm feeling optimistic.

[Zod]

Decent QB. Improved OL. Healthy CMC (for now).

 

Could the Panthers be watchable and actually win some games?

[PootieNunu]

If CMC can go the full season.

They upgraded assistant coaches/coordinators as well.

I've got a feeling we're going to watch an improved offense only to see the defense go backwards.

Definitely think we're gonna have a repeat of last season (early start, right down to the QB getting revenge against his last team game one) until the real playoff contenders (Cowboys last year, 49ers this year) let the Panthers know whats up.

Rhule- hc

we stink

There's at least a reasonable path to potential success now when looking at the roster, especially in an overall weak NFC.

The massive hurdle to overcome is still Matt Rhule. He either needs to prove this year that he's figured out this college to NFL transition or he needs to get sent packing. No more free passes.

This is basically the whole reason I'm not all that optimistic.  With the exception of QB, some big improvements were made in necessary places (not at all sold on Baker). But as long as that guy has control my optimism has the mute button pressed.

Still more inclined to watch this year than i thought I would be.

Maybe he'll go as far as a 4 qb system this year to really get the opposing teams heads spinning

I keep looking at the schedule and it's hard for me to see more than 5 to 6 wins.
