Do they really appreciate what they have?

 

I'm not sure.

 

I have been afforded the time to be able to watch several football games this weekend. Both on the collegiate and professional levels. And one thing was apparent, which has always been, a team cannot be consistently successful without a franchise quarterback.

 

Sure there are the outliers.  Doug Williams, Brad Johnston and Trent Dilfer. Hell, even our own Jake Delhomme. Almost any QB can get hot and lead his team to victory. Speaking of Jake, I really don't understand all the hatred he gets here. Like most who post here, for the last 2+ years of Jake's tenure, I literally expected him to throw an interception every time he dropped back to pass. But from 2003 until 2008, I literally had an expectation to win. For five years afterwords, the expectation was non-existent. So give Jake some credit. Was he an all time great? Of course not. But he is a good person and he was a hell of a leader.

 

Back from tangent.

 

Since 2008, the expectation to win has been no greater than it is now. And ain't you glad we have got a QB and team that makes it possible to believe we may win every week?

Please don't forget, we could be the Jaguars.

Sorry but what have you seen over the past four seasons that gives you an expectation to win? We haven't had a winning season since 2008. I think Rivera will be gone by the end of the season at the latest. Hopefully we can make a good hire going in to 2014 so we can start winning consistently. Then I will expect to win, but I need proof and substance first. Flame away homers.

You misread my post. I meant we haven't had a reason to expect to win SINCE 2008. Until now.

      The Evolution of the Panthers WR Room from 2023 to 2025

      I'm more impressed with the UDFA that the guys they have drafted in the first the last 2 years. A whole lot of prove it is still needed before any improvement should be talked about seriously.

      PANTHERS @ HURRICANES ROUND 3 GAME 1

      By PantherChris · Posted

      While I don't believe its a must win, (we have been better on the road this post season) it is definitely A NEED TO WIN the longer this series goes the more pronounced the Canes advantage on rest and health will be! If we hold serve at home in games 1 and 2 guaranteeing a 6 game minimum series for them if we lose the road games..... by the game 4 and 5 I expect them to be beat they have played A LOT OF HOCKEY the last three years, they have MINIMAL rest off a more physical than one might have expected series vs the leafs.... you know Tampa took their pound of flesh in round 1 from them. Combine all that with the fact that even though this year's canes squad isn't as talented as last years this IS a better squad than the one they swept last time that had McKenzie Mckeathern on line 1 Turbo with a broken hand a banged uo and eventually concussed Slavin (and even though it was a sweep 6 OTS and 4 1 goal losses is hardly dominant)  This year Bob hasn't been superman (hes probably gonna still have a great save percentage agiast us just a side effect of our style) Thatchuk is maybe 50% (3 game winners agiast us) their defense no longer has Gudas and several other downgrades.  While the Canes have a healthy and performing Svechnikov along with other big guys to counteract florida like Carrier, Jankowski, Robinson.   I by know means think it will happen but I either see this as a low scoring dog fight or a series were the canes surprise and end up dominating.
