There's only so much positivity people can have from that dismal performance today. Dunno how you guys are doing it.  

Although we didnt win the game atleast we had players playing like  they cared towards 2nd half. The offense cant start slow with this defense.

The offense with Cam in is abysmal.  I dunno what they'll do.

This would be much easier to rationalize if we didn't just give up 500 yards passing.  That kind of stuff is not fixable in-season.  Even if we get it together and somehow win the division, has a championship team ever looked so bad?

Rookie corner for NE won the superbowl for them...

There was always going to be a learning curve with the rookie corners.  I have no doubt Carolina is going to get it together soon.  Atlanta has a difficult schedule coming up.  Carolina only needs to win the NFCS.  You guys are jumping ship way too fast a true sign of a fair weather fan.  Ride out the storm.  Good things are coming.  Have patience.  Go Panthers!

The fact remains that the Panthers haven't ever had back to back winning seasons. Five repeat performances away from that elephant staying in the room for at least another three years. This shitty play just looks all too familiar under Rivera and a few of the Fox years to ignore.

poo I hope not...a top 3 pick would do wonders for our future...much better than "getting it together" too late again and finishing 7-9 so we can pick a LB/RB again.  Rather get the best DE or OT in the draft.

After all, a team can never have enough DTs

I think people are not jumping ship.  They are giving Gettleman the criticism he deserves, he gets plenty of praise when he succeeds.  It is frustrating to know that we broke up something special.

I feel what you are saying OP but hitting the panic button doesn't make one a fair weather fan.

You know what I just realized?  If Ryan threw for 500+ yards, imagine what Brees is going to do.

I still stay we go 13-3 to 11-5 but our running game needs to get going along with 2 TE set if we have any chance.

Our rookie corners were always going to struggle early. JNo was of course going to start strong from week 1. Sad that people here start saying 'I told you so' as soon as JNo has a good week early while our corners are still learning. Zero ability to see the big picture.

The big picture was SB or bust. Not this half ass rebuild. Spend the money to get a Lombardi when you have it in sight. Then rebuild or maintain after that 1 or 2 year campaign.

This is the worst secondary in franchise history. The LBs can not even cover for that level of ineptitude in the secondary.

0-3 teams are the first to eliminate. 1-4 teams are the next to eliminate. The Panthers need to win their next 4 games and be 5-3 at midseason to be considered a SB contender again.

yea its just a learning curve that allowed a poo qb like matt ryan break records on us , we flat out suck and we will suck for the rest of the year because i doubt gettleman will make any big moves to help us , he will pick up some bum off a teams practice squad that will end up doing poo . cam has been off all season and our oline is getting him killed, we got no run game cap should be cut he sucks , this draft class is the worst of the gettleman era . there is nothing to be positive about. WE ARE IN WIN NOW MODE NOT REBUILD MODE WE DONT GOT TIME FOR OUR SECOUNDARY TO LEARN!!!

I like fans to voice their concerns and gripes, both in good times and bad.  Your support will show regardless.  I always believe we have a chance until we mathematically no longer have a chance, but we're gonna need another 2012 kind of run here to make the playoffs, and considering how horrible we've looked as a team thus far, I don't see that happening, but we'll see.

As far as the corners...  There is no learning curve when you suck, and Worley sucks.  Bene has been exposed outside of the slot and without bigger, rangy corners on the outside to mask his deficiencies.  Bradberry has looked promising at times, but he's still not Josh.  Regardless, name a time in our history that you remember our secondary looking as bad as they did today.  It looked like Atlanta's receivers were lining up against a high school JV team.  They are BAD.

Our FO and staff's negligence has gotten our franchise QB injured and the team just doesn't look good.  So, I'm not overly happy or optimistic right now.
