Maybe they aren't wease, but aside from shokey I guess, they went 2-14 last year. Really tallented teams dont do that even if Ryan Leaf is quaterbacking. Regardless, it is obvious that Newton has more to offer than most (including myself) thought.
It was more of a mentaility thing last year. The coach didn't give a shit and the players had ZERO motivation. Being a lame duck coach as john Fox was.....simply set up for disaster. Last year was a throw away year. Even the city of Charlotte was apathetic towards the team for the first time. But there's a little excitement in the air around these parts....hope even. I guess we'll find out if Ron Rivera is the answer or not soon enough.....but the players are playing hard for him, which is 100% better than last year.
If you look at our players at the skill positions on offense....we aren't chopped liver. Cam has options to throw to......2 solid running backs.....
Optimism
