Is excitement enough in 2012?

Now, with our D and possible offensive weapons we could compete for a division title next year.

Excitement may be enough for this year, but not beyond. Cam brought a ton of excitement to Carolina (living in Charlotte I can attest to it). But they are expecting the Panthers to compete for the division this year. There is no talk of still rebuilding. They expect them to win this year. i would venture that will be the same for us.

Solid reasoning here fanatic. I still think think 8-8 should be our baseline this season, but certainly next year there will be added pressure.
