Finally, the wait is over. For Carolina Panthers fans, citizens of Charlotte, and even those not as closely related to the franchise – the start of a new season brings about a revitalized feeling of hope. Every NFL team is on an even playing field and with the Atlanta Falcons already losing, an early win means even more for the Panthers.
After an offseason filled with top to bottom changes, including a new owner, no one really knows what to count on from the Panthers and new offensive coordinator Norv Turner. Expectations are high but with the starters limited in action over the course of a preseason, it’s hard to determine who will be in the best position to contribute when the starters are on the field.
