Our Revamped Offense

[davos]

If we have these guys as our offensive play makers with the new coaches next season:

I think we could pleasantly be surprised...starting game 1 in Arizona

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

That is sick!!! SO pumped.

[davos]

The talent on this team exceeds 05' ...we just need to bring it into fruition this coming season with Cam, the 2nd years, and overall limiting/eliminating injuries. I'm very pumped

[DaveThePanther2008]

If Newton does start, and he may. Those weapons are nasty. We could easily win our division. It won't be the 1st time the worst team in the division finished 1st.

[Catalyst]

I really hope Cam starts against Arizona and fuging torches those bastards. Would be the sweetest form of poetic justice.

Dangerous? Absolutely! Ready to take the NFL (or even the NFCS) by storm in 2011? Maybe not just yet.

I'm very optimistic about the future, but I can't help but feel like we're going to need at least a season or two for the ingredients to really come together into a delicious recipe.

Of the 7 guys in the photo above, 4 are really young or have never played a game with the Panthers. Sure, Shockey is a vet, but it may take awhile for him to adjust to things.

Of course, Smitty is a huge question mark, and unless I've missed something D-Will is also, even if to a lesser degree.

Hypothetically speaking, though, and saying all these guys will be here, there's no denying the talent. But I'd bet good money that we're going to need to remain patient throughout 2011.

You forgot Armanti.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!

[YourManInAmsterdam]

You forgot Armanti.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!

Nice hidden message. :D

[GotSwag?]

Its the different formations that we could use that excites me. I dont know exactly what offense we will be running, but we have a lot of weapons on our offense. I dont think we will make the playoffs but we will surprise some people. If anything, Newton keeps defenses honest with his running abilities.

I'm not expecting greatness this year. The lockout will make it tough to prepare for this year.

I'm not expecting greatness this year. The lockout will make it tough to prepare for this year.

Even without the lockout, I think we'd be lucky to win 6 given the schedule, the lack of experience on some skill positions, and of course, the QB situation.

And even though I favored drafting Cam Newton, we still have a situation at quarterback. We can't lose sight of that.

[Millions]

With Killa Cam I love the potential should be fun to watch yet productive

[mountainpantherfan]

I can't say that I'm not excited about the new additions to the team. There is a lot of potentiel in Newton as well as other guys draft not just this year but last year as well, including Clausen.

But the success of this team this year will have very little if anything to do with the addition of players. The 2011 Panthers will be defined by the new coaching staff. If you were to tell me that the Panthers are going to win 8 games this season I would guess that either Newton or Clausen was the starting QB, Smith was or wasn't here, Williams did or didn't re-sign. The major changes this year are going to be coming from the coaching staff, not the players, IMO>

[ChampJack]

Im expecting great from the Panthers every year... dont want to become one of those teams or fans who are used to picking in the top EVERY season...
