Just think about this for a second.

Out of all the teams in the NFL we happened to be fans of the team that landed Cam. Can you imagine us drafting Marcell Dareus last year instead of Cam and still having teh Jimmehz or DA? This team as of late has been giving me a reason to get up in the morning. It's been an extremely difficult year for me but waking up everyday knowing we are getting closer to the Lombardi makes my outlook that much better. How is can any Panther fan contain their enthusiasm?

Cam Newton

DeAngelo Williams

Jonathan Stewart

Mike Tolbert

Steve Smith

Gettis/Lafell

Joe Adams

Greg Olsen

Jordan Gross

Amini Silatolu

Ryan Kalil

Charles Johnson

Jon Beason

James Anderson

Thomas Davis

Luke Kuechly

Chris Gamble

Josh Norman

All the players above in my opinion are or have the potential to be Pro Bowl players. I'm also excited about Frank Alexander and Jared Green. Sorry if this is a waste of space. Just excited and the past few years have been rough personally and as a fan.

Most anticipated season ever for me as a fan. Soooo stoked August is finally here.

You forgot to add. 3rd sting QB Pickles

Dareus is no slouch, but Cam is obviously the cream of the crop.

This team will be entertaining to watch. On both sides of the ball. I think they will land a wild card spot this year. Then going into next year with another draft and a some more FAs...will be a favorite in the NFC

After week 3 we will be the favorites this year. Even you non homers will be forced to take notice

We have been building momentum, everyone is excited about the prospects. We are a young team still learning how to win. Until we can win consistantly, we will be viewed as a team with potential.

That said. We have a top 5 offense. (I am not going to nitpick, top 5 is good enough.) Our STs have been drastically improved. Throw in an influx of talent over last year on the defensive side. (Alexander, Ness, Norman, Keuchly, Edwards, Beason, and Davis.) And I see no reason why this cannot be the year the future starts!

The league is already aware of what is going on around here. Starting the year off well will only cement that awareness. This team believes it can win. All they need do, is prove they can, to open the door to unlimited possibilities.

My Zod my giddy is, well... giddy. And GOOOOOO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most excited I've been since '06.

[CarolinaNCSU]

I still think we're a year away...but it's going to be fun to actually contend for the playoffs for the first time in a few years. Can't wait for this year.

Hubby, I know you are the eternal optimist, and I respect that. But you may be crossing into irrational optimism territory by naming Ness as a contributor to the D improvement.

The guy is the definition of a journeyman and likely won't even sniff the final 53.

I had a hearty chuckle when I saw ness' name there too, i can't wait to see how the team looks in the preseason...especially the defense

How old are you if ya don't mind me asking

[pdub0702]

2010-2011 season stills haunts me....but things have been looking very,very hopeful! I'm just ready to watch some panther football.

[CARuthless]

I feel like I saw this thread a few weeks ago....

Could this be a slightly different double post?
