Anyone else feeling hopeless right now?

I'm here in the Bay Area and the local sports talk radio is lit up with all the excitement over hiring Harbaugh. They're talking playoffs next year, next Bill Walsh blah blah. Sure it's kind of crazy but they have one thing that we don't - hope (at least for me).

We're the NY Jets when Manning went back to school. Indy went on win a SB and Jets were bad for years...

We've got no head coach and one of the worst QBs in Pickles I've ever seen. There isn't one person in the industry that gives Pickles a chance and I agree.

On top of that we have the leagues toughest schedule in a division where everyone has their franchise QB. We'll be at the bottom for years.

Luck was the one ray of hope - a franchise QB that puts us above everyone else in the NFC South and like that - gone. We'll never know if he was our saviour but at least he would have giving us the same excitement SF has right now.

Only hope is either a. lockout or b. we're so bad next year we get Luck anyways. Why would a potential HC come here anyway knowing we'll most likely lose all of our games?

Oh well. For the first time in years I will not be getting NFL package to watch my beloved Panthers here in Bay Area. Why would I?

okay a. luck would in no way put us at the top of the nfc south right away b. wtf is harbaugh supposed to do, who's his qb ? what is he gonna do in his first nfl hc job with a team thats been terrible for a decade, there will be excitement here too when we hire a coach so turn off the news, step away from the ledge, and worry about earthquakes not this bullshit

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.
