Why so sensitive?

Draft weekend is generally a time when even Bengals fans have visions of their team holding the Super Bowl trophy.

Heck, who should have more reason to be optimistic than us? Wholesale changes have been made in the team (for the better, I think) and while another disastrous year is technically possible, it isn't a stretch to say that we have nowhere to go but up.

And yet a significant portion of the discussion here today is about what could go wrong, dislike of Hurney / dislike of this year's picks or bad stuff someone said about us :(

I'm as big a believer in being realistic as you'll find, but even I gotta ask: For at least a day or two, wouldn't it be more fun to leave last year's disasters behind and dream a little?

Hardest Schedule in the NFL (based on last year) + One of the biggest projects ever + Not being able to practice/communicate due to greedy bastards = Recipe for disaster

Agreed..and im usually at least semi-optimistic.

That's a reach to say "biggest project ever". He's no more a project than Big Ben was after his draft day.

Exactly from the sounds of it Rivera see's Cam as a Big Ben/Vince Young type rookie. People that didn't watch Cam in college still reaching with that raw label. Sure he's not the finished product but imo he's far from raw project like a Colin Kaepernick.

    • Start with Bryce, this is like his rookie year. The 1st 2 games proved her was wired wrong and it looks like (we hope) he needed a time out to reset and be the player that was drafted. He's still about a year or more away from being a top 15 QB, if the Panther give him another playmaker or 2 (a top WR and a decent TE) and maintain that line. Canales deserves credit as playing that card correctly to motivate (or refocus) his QB for one last shot to decide his and the Panthers immediate future. As a Panther fans we should hope he keeps improving as we invested so much to get him. CJ Stroud will never have a season like he had, even if he stays a top 10 QB. He's got great character so I'm rooting for Bryce to continue on his positive journey. Canales is playing the week to week thing with bryce perfectly. Nothings guaranteed, earn it weekly which builds consistency and consistency is greatness.  Keep the O-line. They've got to extend Brady C, along with Mayes that have a real good 7. Great job Morgan starting with the big guys upfront.  I really hope they draft a DE or OLB in the 1st round. Getting Brown back with A Robinson and what DJ has shown that we can have a decent D-line. Need a CB in the early rounds/ or a time FA to go with Horn.  The future as to next year being good enough to challenge for the division is within reach. Just show progress (win or lose) every week. Kudos to Dan Morgan. Plays GM like a LB. Tackle the problem and move on, don't just hope it works out. Find guys with your playing mentality and work closely with your HC to share a vision. Teamwork starts at the top and flows down.
