Could be 5 or 20+ years depending on the QB situation. Panthers are closer to being the Lions than a contender IMO

expecting a falcons rout will be surprised if it's anything else

You talking about my favorite Panthers ESPN Beatwriter Darnell Nosewhistle?

Trading for Darnold was not a bad idea. Not having a backup plan behind him was an absolutely moronic people should get fired decision

I wanted Stefanski

True about Rivera except those teams had an offensive rookie of the year and a defensive rookie of the year in back to back seasons. Cam Newton was clearly going to be a winner eventually. This Panthers team? Yea I dunno about that.

Brady is going to be just fine. He just went to the NFL too early

Shows how much Tepper knows

Could be Brady showcasing his offense to potential new employers. He might be past attempting to win games for the Panthers. His reputation seems like it’s taking him to a head coaching job even if the Panthers didn’t score another point this season.

If you go watch the tape from the Giants game there were open receivers on many plays that Darnold didn’t throw to. Yea he went away from the run way too early and could have set up more play action with easy reads, but Darnold did him no favors by playing like a dumbass

I have been a Panthers fan most of my life having grown up in NC but I haven’t lived in the Carolinas in almost 11 years so my connection to the team is waning. If this team slips into a Washington Football Team era level of manic ownership meddling paired with miserable performances, I am gonna be outie 5000 pretty soon. Low key I am hoping an NFL team moves to the Austin/San Antonio region I can support. Hopefully in the AFC.

Tepper needs to hire a seasoned NFL consultant to hire the next head coach. Fitterer can stay on if he jives with the next coach.

I mean if you’re an offensive coordinator and you lose play calling ability you might as well turn in your work badge

I appreciate your optimism….wish I had it. This team has beat optimism out of me permanently.

Next up is the Falcons, a team that usually owns this sorry franchise for some reason. We expecting another ass kicking from a bad team or do the Panthers get up off the mat and make the fanbase have some hope again? I think the Panthers are getting curb stomped personally. They gave up against the Giants and if they couldn't show a solid effort against a 1-5 team, ooh wee mayne. Gonna be rough from here on out. Falcons 42 Panthers 12

Tua is better than Darnold, how much I'm not sure

I'm a fan of winning, something the current owner and coaching staff don't know how to do.

Too late for this. Wish they’d done it during the off-season. Minshew starting with Fields on the bench would have been fire

Minshew strikes me as a tell it like it is kinda guy. He scrapped his way into the NFL and showed a lot of moxie when I’ve watched him play. Maybe his style doesn’t jive with some NFL teams way of life, just my speculation. Either way I bet he sees some playing time for the Eagles very soon.

Guess the Panthers believe in going all in and not hedging their bets. Thought a hedge fund manager would know better than that. Now his team’s stadium will either be empty of full of opposing team’s fans because no one wants to watch Sam Darnold dance around the pocket not throwing to open receivers because he’s a shook failure.

Maybe he’s too real for the nfl

Minshew would have been better than Darnold at this point.

Why wasn't a veteran QB signed along with Darnold? Or why wasn't a rookie QB drafted? The chances Darnold failed were extremely high, and PJ Walker is terrible and Will Grier is probably terrible but he's not here anymore for us to find out. How was handing over the keys to the franchise to a QB you dumpster-dove off a bad Jets team the ONLY STARTING OPTION for this team?

he f*cking sucks, throws a few picks and can't bounce back. has the mental fortitude of a 6 year old.
