Well, the people have spoken, and as it should probably be expected with the fresh start of a brand new season upon us, Panthers fans are very confident in the direction the team is headed. An astonishing 93 percent of Panthers fans said they are confident in the team’s direction. That’s up from 75 percent the last time our fans were surveyed following the 2019 NFL Draft! Fan confidence has steadily climbed since the end of the 2018 season when it was at a paltry 24 percent. The Panthers had a solid free agency period when they added several quality veterans to the roster (notably center Matt Paradis, defensive tackle Gerald McCoy and edge rusher Bruce Irvin) and re-signed a few of their own free agents (safety Eric Reid, right tackle Daryl Williams, safety Colin Jones and defensive tackle Kyle Love).Panthers Fan Pulse confidence results(percentage of fans who voted ‘confident’)End of 2018 season — 24%Start of free agency — 65%Pre-2019 draft — 62%Post-2019 draft — 75%Preseason Week 1 — 93%The 2019 NFL Draft was also kind to the Panthers, as fan confidence jumped from 62 percent before the draft to 75 percent after it. The Panthers ended up taking seven players in the draft, and were able to rebuild their pass rush with several of those picks by selecting edge rushers Brian Burns and Christian Miller. They also added some solid depth on their offensive line by taking Greg Little and Dennis Daley Youth Da’Norris Searcy Jersey , and took care of the backup quarterback position by getting Will Grier in the third round. They also managed to pick up some potential depth at running back when they found Jordan Scarlett in the fifth round. Now that training camp is over and the season is just a few short weeks away, Panthers fans have plenty of reasons to be excited about the upcoming season. Franchise quarterback Cam Newton is recovering well from offseason shoulder surgery (the main reason fan confidence was only 24 percent at the end of the season last year), and Curtis Samuel appears to have taken the leap to No. 1 wide receiver status in his third year (if training camp reports are to be believed). But wait, there’s more! The defense looks to be adapting well to the switch to a 3-4 alignment, and several players are stepping up and handing their new roles quite well. Marquis Haynes looks like he he was built to play as an outside linebacker in the 3-4 defense and is off to a solid start this year, and Burns looks like the guy that everyone will wish they drafted before he fell to Carolina at No. 16 overall. Win or lose, the Panthers should be fun to watch this year, but if you ask me I think there will be more winning than losing in 2019, and fans have every reason to be confident that this season could be a special one for Carolina.But what about you, Panthers fans? Are you confident that this season will be a good one for the Panthers? Share your thoughts with us, and while you’re at it feel free to sign up for FanPulse and let your voice be heard! The Panthers haven’t had what you’d call a memorable season, but it ended in appropriate way.Specifically, they lost yet another quarterback Blue James Bradberry Jersey , as just-signed Garrett Gilbert had to finish things up in their 33-14 win over the Saints.After Cam Newton‘s shoulder finally let go, and Taylor Heinicke was placed on IR after his first start, the Panthers had to turn to Kyle Allen to start this one. Allen didn’t make it through the game, after being dropped hard on his right shoulder. Gilbert, who is set to play for the Orlando Apollos of the AAF and was signed last week so they’d have two healthy ones, had to finish the game. Running back Christian McCaffrey was warming up late, preparing to serve as the emergency quarterback if anything happened to Gilbert.The Saints (13-3) had already secured home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs, and barely looked interested.They didn’t even dress quarterback Drew Brees and running back Alvin Kamara, and left tackle Andrus Peat left the game with a hand injury and didn’t return.Backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater started and threw a touchdown and an interception, on a day when he was dealing with an extremely limited playbook.The Saints got on the board early in the fourth quarter, after the Panthers raced to a 30-0 lead. They haven’t been shut out during the Sean Payton-Brees era, as the last shutout was in 2002. The touchdown pass to Tre'Quan Smith extended that streak of games with points to 272 games, the longest such streak in the league.The Panthers snapped a seven-game losing streak in the process James Bradberry Jersey 2019 , and finished 7-9 on the season.In their 24 years in the league, 7-9 has been their most common record, happening eight times (also in 2012, 2007, 2004, 2002, 2000, 1997, and 1995).They’ve finished the year with 12-4, 11-5, and 8-8 records three times each, and their all-time record now stands at 190-193-1.So 7-9 sounds about right.
