What still needs to happen for you to be genuinely excited about next year?

[Adb6368]

I saw the videos today. Panthers still getting crushed in the media because it’s low hanging fruit.

personally I think we are on the right track. Every move we have made has logic. Brian burns hurts but I think it was a dead end and we got what we could. Blame the old regime. 

my question is, what would it take you based on what has happened in the past 3 days for you to be genuinely excited for next year?

I think all of our expectations are tempered appropriately so I’m not thinking Super Bowl. But what will it take for this team to be fun to watch again, and knock on wood maybe even fight for a division title or wild card spot. 

for me, if we can land 2 starter caliber DEs (preferably Clowney) and a legit safety (Justin Simmons) then I’m sold on FA. 

Then as far as the draft goes, best WR and best center for our 2nd rounders followed by BPA the rest of the draft.

Before the regular season? Nothing can happen during the offseason that'll excite me.  

If Bryce lights it up during the preseason, then yeah I'll be excited.

I'm don't think I will be excited. However, I will be optimistic if by the end of the season we see draft picks showing promise and some sort of identity forming.

Add a couple of solid/good pass rushers + get at least one impactful WR in the draft.

[PleaseCutStewart]

Tepper pull a Jerry Richardson and be forced to sell the team before the season starts

[SmokinwithWilly]

At this point I need to see the team perform before I get excited about anything.

Fix the holes they created and address the obvious.  

Center with starting experience...ie Connor Williams

2 Edge Rushers to play opposite each other... hell I don't care if you bring back Efe Obada ...just get some bodies in there. 

Add another ilb and corner for depth atleast. 

Sign Jordan Fuller and Franklin 

Grab 2 Wr's in the draft(this is the draft for that) ... target Wiley from TCU at TE late in the draft.

Mind you, all of this can be done. Probably won't but very possible.

Nothing really. A dominant preseason would help, but I have no hope until I see things change on the field.

[top dawg]

Excited? Nothing! Intrigued? Three or four legit starters out the draft.

[HardcoreHokie]

Trade up to #1 and grab a consensus franchise QB.

Nothing I love this team so much I always have rose colored glasses and am excited. It’s a curse 

[carpanfan96]

Our first round pick back at #1 or the following 

 

a pro bowl qb

A trio of good wr’s 

2 starting caliber edge players 

a nfl level oline 

a winning record this season

 

or 

 

Tepper to sell the team tonight before I go to sleep 

[Jackie Lee]

Rookie QB on day 3 or udfa

[bandu]

for Bryce Young not to be named the starting Qb simply because he was the #1 overall pick last year & bring in some cheap competition even if it's a UDFA & make Bryce earn that starting QB position ..just saying
