So true. Rodgers would have immediately targets his WR1, with no hesitation. Young should have it in his head that an offsides equals a ball to TMac with zero shots given. Just right to him even if he’s quadruple teamed. He threw the ball so far out of bounds that he absolutely had to have been throwing it away, not just a bad deep throw.

Zavala got a bad holding call on the last drive where we stalled out.

Dude has been hurt badly enough to need IR 3 years in a row and we were still OK with making him play a position he never played in the NFL. SMH, when we got rid of Fitterer, already a year later than we should have with Rhule, we should have actually cleaned house. We got rid of the figurehead, not the actual bad decisions and bad scouting.

Pressure. The announcers were giving him kudos in how he can make great throws in a clean pocket. Every NFL QB can do that. Last drive wasn’t prevent defense and Young looked terrible to the point that he doesn’t even recognize a free play and throws the ball way out of bounds.

He does. How many penalties are we gifted and he barely gets anywhere on the last drive. Also, WTF is with throwing the ball out of bounds instead of just chucking it up for TMac when you have an offsides and a free play? Is he even aware that it’s a free play and he doesn’t have to try and avoid an interception? Arizona gifted us a chance to come all the way back and our last drive looks like poo.

First, tanking has nothing to so with trying to lose. We could have and should have tanked in 2022 by letting Rhule coach Carrol to the number pick and getting 3 1sts and 2 2nds and 1 3rd for Burns, CMC and DJ and traded anything else with a pulse. That said I also wanted Fitterer gone with Rhule to make sure we actually pick well. Second, I was really just joking based on the fact that I agree that we are just so bad.

A skinny WR stiff armed him into oblivion and Wallace barely registered on the TD. Morgan wants dawgs and his LB corp is absolutely dog poo and the worst in the league.

I got Sunday ticket so my sons at college could watch whatever they wanted (2 family streams) and so I could watch some of the interesting games. It’s really uncanny how bad we look when you watch good teams with some talent.

So true. My posting of this was more indicting the truly horrible way the Panthers are treating their loyal fans with this garbage. I wonder if anyone who thought we’d go 9-7, thinks we can finish above .500 now.

Ok folks, let’s get this started. When we officially lose, we will be #4 based on SOS.

He didn’t think Arizona had a good play called so he wanted them to rethink the call and he was right. They got the TD on the new play.

Have been for years, just not getting shot down by the FO supporters anymore.

Spending a single top 10 pick is fine. Spending two top 10 picks, DJ Moore and two 2nds cannot ever happen again.

GB has a special teams WR that can get two feet down while already falling out of bounds and we have a first round WR that can get his feet down with a few yards of green before the sideline.

If I could be Morgan for a day, I’d resign.

You do realize that XL and Ladd both ran a 4.39 at the combine. Ladd had a slightly better 10 yard split.

Man, a QB like Stroud goes to two straight playoffs after his team was 4-13 and he’s trash? Bo Nix had his team in the playoffs and also has the second most TDs by a rookie QB but he’s trash too? Maye looked solid as well. Weird that you are bashing on the QBs drafted since 2022 and the 2024 class might be one of the best ever on early results. It’s pretty damn rare to have several QBs look good after one year. We knew 2022 sucked before the draft and it was kind of surprising that any QBs went in the 1st. 2023 was just OK but Stroud has been fine. 2025 is way too early. Anyway, 47 is kind of a ridiculous number as it includes 7th rounders. If you look at first rounders, it paints a different picture. 1 in 2022 that sucked and we knew it. 3 in 2023, 2 of whom are starting. 6 in 2024, all of whom are starters now. 2 in 2025, one of whom is starting. So, while they’ve had different levels of success, 9 out of 12 first round QBs since 2022 are their team’s starters. We had the top pick and it looks like we made multiple mistakes by trading up for who we did because 2024 looks like a crazy good QB class.

Weinke days was 1 year long in 2001. We were in the Super Bowl 2 years later after we got Peppers and Gross in back to back drafts. This has been 7 years of 2-7 wins per year and no draft picks as good as either of those two players. Same goes for Clausen. Like Weinke, his days were 1 year and 5 years later we went to the SB after we draft Cam and Luke back to back. I don’t know if you are trying to be obtuse but nothing in the Panthers past comes close to the 7 year long debacle we are in right now. The Weinke and Clausen “days” were both shorter than the past 7 years and both ended in Super Bowl appearances.

Thielen was gone after this year and he wouldn’t have made a difference today. Renfrow was open for two deep TDs with good throws. As you said, it’s bleak and this offseason you would have thought we had a top 5 WR corps, lol.

Sort of exciting based on the crap we’ve drafted at WR in recent years. I’m still worried about his speed and separation. He wasn’t able to separate at all on the almost TD. It’s not good on a deep route (not under thrown) for a CB to be able to reach around your back and knock the ball out of your back hand. He’s clearly better than our recent 2nd and 1st round WRs but his speed and separation was my biggest worry. I really hope that is overblown.

We are the worst team in the NFL in the last 6 years and we don’t look any better so far. This period of futility is the worst period we’ve ever had and we don’t have the talent to get out of this hole yet. Sorry, but as a long time fan, you don’t know how bad we can be if you don’t think this is that bad. We are just about to start wearing bags over our heads at games. That might have started if we weren’t a decent destination for other teams fans to visit. Today was more of the same which ain’t good.

That’s the toughest part. Only the most optimistic think we have good talent. We have Brown, Horn, Hunt and Hubbard that I could legitimately say are top 5-10 at their positions. Just based on math, each team should have 7 top 10 guys and that’s not even considering that a top 10 QB is worth 5+ times as much as a top 10 LB, S or RB. We need a poo ton more.

TMac maybe and Hubbard. That’s certainly not close to most teams.

After the first couple weeks and prior years, I’m not super duper excited for the QBs coming out. I’m a Clemson fan and I want no part of Klubnik as our QB. Arch put up some stats against the juggernaut of San Jose State but he also had the same inaccuracy issue and damn it you shouldn’t be talked about as a #1 overall pick if you can’t beat a 7th round pick in your sophomore season. Allar is like his coach, terrible against good teams. Nussmeyer didn’t impress me last year or against Clemson, it was all dump offs and let my guys do the hard work. Maybe Sellers but even he didn’t look great against SC State. Personally, I’d love to get a haul from someone with a hard on for one of those guys. I don’t see a Stroud or Daniels in these guys but maybe there is a Nix or Maye.

They mentioned a great stat before our game today. We have the longest active streak with 10+ losses. It’s at 6 seasons and TBH it appears like we are heading for our 7th. I’m watching but damn if I going to be optimistic after a game like that which fills you up with zero hope that you have the right GM, Coach and QB. If we can’t feel confident about those three spots, we likely get that streak up to 8, 9 or 10 seasons.
