everytime we finish a season well -the media pumps us up as threat and we underachieve. anyone got any reasons history will not repeat itself in 2013?

Here's the thing.

We don't have a history of underachieving after we play / finish well for a season. We just have a history of being underachieving. We underachieve in the years we're hyped or after we've finished / played well because underachieving has been the order of the day for all but the following seasons: 1996, 2003, 2005, 2008.

To your question? What we can tell you is that with Cam's arrival the culture of "eh we'll get 'em next time" and being OK with losing in our locker room started to change. Guys who already didn't like it started speaking up and there is an obvious difference even between this year and the last when you listen to guys speak. The longer an influence like that is around, even if he is sometimes obnoxious in how he shows it, the less likely it is we will underachieve.

We might suck next year. We probably won't be hyped regardless. Worry that you will suck next year is a rite of passage for every NFL fan in every offseason.

No way ill ever get gotten like I did this year. I'm gonna make them show me who they are instead of bragging about what they will be the entire offseason... Ill be hype next year when the season starts, but not nearly as much as I was this year. Now, I know better... Despite our roster moves or what happens between now and then, there is no way I will EVER get that excited about a football season ever again.

We all had a right to be excited after seeing what our offense was capable of during Cam's rookie year... And we all learned our lesson that not even Cam can beat his OC.

      Slowing my roll on Ward (for now)

      Him and Sanders are the only QBs I would consider in the first round. I won’t be upset if we take Sanders, unlike some people on the board. Both have potential to be really good NFL QBs if the teams can develop them.  But as we have seen teams are not willing or are unable to now properly develop rookie QBs.

      I remember the last time we had a Cam at QB in Charlotte

      Because Young is so historically bad that it just skews too far outside the normal deviations that perspective is easily lost. That or they just don't want to believe it.  The struggles last year would have been more about the infighting and poor roster building or idiot owner's hiring practices than with Stroud. He wouldn't have been as good but he wouldn't have been ruined here and the pressure was not Carr-esk if you take out the Young created portion from his playing style.  Dude is a young guy on a team coached by a Defensive guy building a good D but not building up the O in year 2 of his HC 1st time gig. Seems familiar... Go look at his output this year and not just some crappy Thursday night implosion game, I would take that in a second and never ever look back every time without a shred of doubt while eating 4 of those games a year with a giant smile on my face.
