For worst coach I would have to break with popular opinion and go with basically any of our special teams coaches from the Rivera era. Who was the guy it seemed like we took forever to finally fire? Our special teams was just comically awful. For worst player the easy answer is Clausen but the man guided us to a top overall pick. He was good for something. Worst player is a toss up between Eric Shelton or Sione Fua.

Whatever the past was he is now in a polar opposite situation here and the Panthers have gone out of their way to smooth his transition. Time to show out.

Another "you cant spell crap without rap" knuckledragger who likely also complains to his safe friends about rappers being able to use that word while he cant reveals himself to the world. 🗑

Will he play for a quarter or a full half?

There is not any need to be at each others throats over Hurney or DG anymore. They were both failures here. And yet each of them oversaw the two most successful seasons in franchise history that resulted in super bowl appearances. So with that in mind I really see no excuse Scott can't get us into playoff contention relatively soon. Gambling on the likes of quarterbacks like Bridgewater and Darnold might derail this goal if we are being truthful about the odds but hopefully the other pieces in place can help push us forward in the meantime.

There was a time when Hurneymagic memes were frequently featured here. Some want to forget but yes it was a thing.

We're comparing front office executives to draft prospects now? No I never said such a thing. I was on the OT or QB train with the 8th pick and yes I would have been happy with Fields as he was one of my top choices. This was due in large part to the fact that as a Panthers fan I have only seen two notable long term starting qb's in 25 years. It is plainly obvious you need a good one to get anywhere. We went with Jaycee and I accepted that. CB was a need so I hope to see him help shut down these quarterbacks in our division.

Being a Charlotte native I'm accustomed to watching my sports teams lose. But there isn't a form you have to sign that says you will support anything and everything to the fullest and never speak a bad word about anyone with the team. You were mad af at folks calling out Teddy last year and I'm sorry that's still eating away at you but that's sports big guy sometimes we're wrong. I used to be a big Cam supporter but I had to swallow my pride and accept he was done as a Panther. You'll be ok.

Of course not but there is a middle ground somewhere between that and immediate anointment before anything has been proven right? It's his first gm gig just like our last two. Who by the way had their own following at one point especially Gettleman who even had his own catchphrases. There are key qualities to like so far such as SF's clear aggressiveness in making moves and not being afraid to move on quickly. His first draft has plenty of potential. I am hopeful we see some positive results for the upcoming season and from there he will raise his profile with the fanbase.

Let's just see what the win/loss is looking like in '21 and '22 before we trot out the clever monikers and weird mancrush.

Feel free to go ahead and start your own Panthers fan community where only cult like unanimous praise is allowed

There is no point in going back to Temple and Baylor to judge this. As of now he is tied to Bridgewater and Darnold and going 0 for 2 isn't an option. The man needs a hit. The fact such a basic discussion triggers some is a reflection of how long mediocrity has settled in with this fanbase.

Fug Drew Brees. I don't want to emulate the Saints I want to kick their ass.

Well at least we are creating some real competition now and trying to improve. That's all I can ask.

I wouldn't. He'll only be 26 by the time he signs his next contract and this is a league driven by passers and receivers. The Bucs have a stacked receiving core and they added another rookie Brady has already taken under his wing. I'm tired of seeing these other motherfugers win rings.

Agreed on the nature of social media which obviously thrives on negativity. But we just see more of it because it has been years since the team has been relevant for winning anything of significance. The Hornets social media pages aren't any better and they haven't been to two championships like the Panthers on top of losing the franchise once already. Valid. But with all sports teams there is a honeymoon period and the one for this regime will officially end with the '21 season. If Darnold is a success the tide will turn and there will be a much needed boost of positivity. If not well things will start heating up like any other sports franchise.

That's what happens when losing becomes the norm and all fans have to talk about is the draft or the potential of next season. Yes some of it is aggravating but you can't blame the fans of the media for the product on the field.

I will say it is refreshing this new regime is not afraid to move on quickly in situations like this. On the flip side though I hope this is a learning experience bc there were red flags from the beginning the Chargers let him walk for a reason.

I mean I hope they are wrong but if they end up being right I'm grabbing my torch and pitchfork Shrek style

Reddick over DJ? He hasn't played a down for Carolina yet. DJ is only 24 years old and wide receiver is a very coveted position in a pass happy league. Way too early for any of this. It hinges more on the development of our rookie receivers this year and is also dependent on one of them stepping into a starting spot when Anderson moves on. This is a dilemma I'd rather not consider rn. Let's hope Darnold is as advertised around here.

Over the last several years I have seen enough third and fourth string receivers with the Panthers to know what one looks like and Robby Anderson is definitely not a Corey Brown or Russell Shepard. Chill

I would have liked the contract to be a little lower but it's only a 2 year deal. And DJ is not going anywhere come on people lol.

Oh stop with the drama. Fans just want a franchise quarterback. Until we get a true answer about Sam this season other qb's will be discussed. This is no different than any other team in any other year. The issue is some folks just can't handle it if every fan isn't a robot mimicking everyone else.

The fact this is a question tells you what you need to know. If this were happening to a division rival no doubt there would be a thread here dedicated to laughing at them relentlessly. There will always be critics and there will always be eternal optimists who think the team will perform better if they support every aspect to the fullest. If the Panthers have a successful season none of this will matter and most of us will be happy.

I hate to hear that for the player but the show must go on. No excuse to lose this home game. There are factors that give us concern about the roster but this pass rush should be able to give Wilson trouble and in turn give the offense plenty to work with.
