Anyone else feeling hopeless right now?

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

I'm never without hope, regardless of how difficult the way forward may seem.

You dont live in CLT?

moved to Indy right before this season and made the mistake of paying for the nfl sunday ticket, not gonna make the same mistake this year.

We'll get a new HC along with an entire new coaching staff.

Pickles will get better or we'll bring in a true franchise QB in '12.

We have probably the most cap space out of anyone and should be a major player in FA.

We should get a total stud #1 overall.

I'm pretty excited to see how everything plays out TBH.

Good points. I think you're successfully talking me off the ledge.

Dude in other thread said it right. This is my new attitude towards this team. Next year is fuged so let's build up OLine and DLine and draft star QB in 2012:

Let's be rational here, none of the raining first round QBs are worth the pick.

Get Green or Fairley, or trade down get some offensive help and a DT somewhere in the draft.

Let Pickles play. If he shows improvement, good for him, good for us. If not, Luck, Lance Jones, Kirk Cousins, or Matt Barkley with next year's first round.

Don't worry, we're rarely a great team and we won't be next season most likely. You should be used to it by now.

Last years free agent market was severely limited because of the CBA issue and teams got the option to tender guys that would have normally been URFAs. This year is basically going to be two free agent markets in one and we're sitting pretty with our cap space.

Plus we had two pro-bowl caliber players in Thomas Davis and Otah out all year and we should have them back.

Please share why you are optimistic...

Excited which brings on optimistic! With the new coaching search and the number 1 overall pick, this offseason is the most excitement we as Panthers fans have seen since 2008 (Arguably 2005). We may not have Luck, but so what! We still have the number 1 overall pick, and a brand new coaching staff on the horizon. I believe it's the fear of the unknown that have you down! Embrace the unknown, and trust that your FO will do everything they can to make this team better in every way. Marty has never bombed on a 1st round pick and I don't believe he'll start now. As a Panthers fan there's a lot to look forward to, just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Trade for Orton, draft Greene, and BAM! Productive offense.

Uh we don't have a QB that's even NFL caliber right now...kind of important I think.
