I feel the same way. The team we once loved is gone. It’s owned by a pot bellied dipshit and I hope he leaves Charlotte without a football team in his ownership ASAP.

It’s really the lack of the first overall pick next year that makes it the worst. On field performance and win loss record was comparable to 2001 and 2010, but the future is definitely bleaker now.

but was his restaurant a serious business venture or a money laundering cover which I often wonder when professional athletes and wealthy people want to open something dumb like a coal pizza restaurant

Special teams was probably the panthers best unit

That’s absolutely not true. The main reason this team failed is Bryce young is absolutely f*cking awful.

You’re deluded as hell if you don’t think this team wouldn’t have won more games with Dalton starting all the games

Yea, they probably could have actually. Dalton is an NFL caliber QB. Did you not notice the one game he played the passing offense seemed to work?

If Bryce Young starts every game next season they could very well be 0-17

I think the minuscule amount of people I see wearing panthers gear these days answers that question

They don’t have a first round pick either. I forgot to add that.

2-15 season. Didn’t score a single point the final two games. Retard owner throwing drinks at opposing fans. No first round pick which would have been first overall. Burn the stadium down it’s over

Agreed. I can’t think of any players on this team aside from Derrick Brown who would have had a spot on that 2015 team. It’s like they are talking about backing up the brinks truck for Brian Burns and I’m like….why? He disappears for games at a time. Scott Fitterer should be ejected into the sun for not taking that deal from the Rams.

I’ve been doing my research on the potential candidates for head coach and I’m fully behind Bobby Slowik. Mike Shanahan was well known for his development of coaches to become head coaches one day and it shows - 4 coaches from his last staff in the NFL, the 2013 Redskins, are head coaches right now. 1 has a Super Bowl ring and I have a feeling his son is getting his very soon. Bobby would probably need an experienced defensive coordinator who might have been a head coach previously, but maybe not. Spending time with the Shanahan’s and showing you can design a successful offense in the NFL might be enough. Maybe Evero would stick around with his staff, who knows. Maybe Tabor stays on as special teams coordinator. Maybe the whole thing gets burned to the ground and Slowik builds his own staff. Either way, I’d be excited by this hire because there isn’t a better coaching tree in the NFL than Mike Shanahan’s.

The real tree to hire a coach from is Mike Shanahan and now by proxy Kyle Shanahan. Mike had a good coaching tree and so does his son because he prioritized growing coaches to become head coaches one day. The 2013 Redskins staff has 4 head coaches in the NFL right now. Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVay, Matt Lafleur, and Mike McDaniel. You know who was an assistant on that staff? Bobby Slowik.

I can’t believe they took him over Stroud.

Best news I’ve heard regarding the panthers since Tepper bought the team

Tomlin has a much better organization around him than he would on the Panthers. That’s the point. He’s getting the Steelers to .500 every year on one of the best teams in NFL history that prioritizes having a stacked defense. The Panthers under Tepper have no idea what they want to be. So put Tomlin on the Panthers, a team with a trash front office and organization that is constantly turning over, and you can easily surmise that Tomlin would not be success on the Panthers. Side note that Tepper could have just hired Steve Wilks and expected similar results to what Tomlin delivers for the Steelers, but the advantage was Wilks actually proved he could do it in the face of Tepper’s ineptitude.

I miss having good players worth cheering for

No. Mike Tomlin has been keeping the Steelers relevant by the skin of his teeth while having some of the worst offenses in the nfl since Rothlisberger retired. The Steelers are much stronger organizationally than the Panthers. The Panthers are flimsy as a pile of tissue paper with Tepper ready to tomahawk anyone at any moment because he’s impatient and sucks. Tomlin would be a colossal failure in Carolina to the point where we might as well burn the entire stadium down instead.

I have confirmation this was the jaguars fan in question

They could have kept Wilks as the HC and had three of the coaches on this list. And also not been a trash team this season.

Derrick Brown is a dodge ram hemi 3500

It is true that Bryce has been composed and mature despite being drafted by an incompetent douche bag of an owner and being in the worst situation in the NFL in terms of talent, coaching, and scheme.

I've long said that trading up for a QB was not a bad decision. Trading away your best WR as part of a deal to get a rookie WR was incredibly dumb. Trading the amount of assets they did for this particular QB also appears very dumb. The general idea was fine, the execution and decisions that were made were terrible.

I think if the team won Super Bowl 50 the entire trajectory of this franchise would have been different.
