Ryan Kalil expects the Panthers to have a very successful season. The veteran center bought a full-page ad in the Charlotte Observer on Wednesday, telling Panthers fans their "unwavering support" would be rewarded this year. Kalil has a goal in mind how fans would reap the benefits with what he said is "One hundred-percent, sterling silver victory. The Lombardi Trophy." Carolina finished 6-10 last season, the first for coach Ron Rivera and quarterback Cam Newton.
