Im looking around and all i see are fans talking about how boring the NFL has been so far this season. Ratings are down and week to week games have been terrible. It Just now stood out to me how important the Panthers were to the league last year because without us going almost undefeated and attention we are looking at the same situation this year far as the league. I know there are a lot people happy the panthers are losing but at the end of the day we were the team EVERYBODY watched. Our games were exciting along with Cam, the dabbing, and celebrations. Even this year there arguably hasnt been a more exciting game then the opener against Denver. People hated us but they tuned in and now they are missing us underneath all the disappointment. Lol The Vikings are the only undefeated team left but they boring as hell to watch far as league standards. Not sayin this really matters the most because a Championship does at the end of the day, but outside of that its just very telling at this point that the league is really missing the excitement we brought last year or at least it would really help right now. But considering how we have got the short end of the stick on so many things since last year ended, im not sorry the NFL is suffering for anything. They can kiss my ass. It could pick up but I could care less if it doesnt.

I respect all y'all but this "fug the NFL, we wuz robbed" getting a little old. I don't think the NFL is producing a diminished product. Just talk to bills fans, they are fired up. I think we just got a bunch of panthers fans who don't like to watch us get waxed every week

 Cheer up Sally's. NFL is fine, just we suck. But there is a difference

Also I find it funny that some NFL analyst after the SB and the start of the season said Cam was the face of the NFL. He might be from a fan's perspective as the most recognizable athlete but from an internal standpoint I have a hard time believing that the NFL itself sees him that way

The NFL thought they were doing everybody a favor trying to poo on us and bring us down, when in reality they just hurt themselves

They tried to eliminate Cam fun and now everybody is tired of the penalties for celebrations. Even the players are still doing it, they dont care. fug a roger goodell

Fans are starting to see the hypocrisy. Rice/ Hardy and Brown.

Players can't celebrat. 

NFL says they want to protect players, but even fans that aren't fans of the Panthers or Cam are seeing the difference in the way he's treated.

and the games on Thursday and Mondays have sucked.

The NFL did not tell the Panthers to:

- Cut Steve Smith

- Rescind Josh Norman

- Tender Greg Hardy instead of bringing Julius Peppers back.

- Load up rookie DBs for the secondary as target dummies.

- Bring in 1 DE prospect in 3 off season and tie all the team's edge rushing hopes to him - Kony Ealy.

- Invest 10m into Oher and Remmers

- load up on receivers who catch the ball 50% or less

- ignore the need for a 3rd down slot receiver

- refuse to obtain a viable #2 TE

- neglect a legit back up RB behind an injury prone Stewart.

- over pay bottom tiet talent

- over pay a kicker and punter

- trade away several draft picks for players the Panthers would cut or refuse to retain

- draw out contract negotiations to cause distractions during the season

- refuse to spend money when you have money

 

The Panthers did it to themselves, and I feel for the players who have been blindsided by the front office.

Broken recor...broken recor...broken recor...bump...broken record is broken.

 

The NFL did not tell you you had to be a fan of the Panthers either. Yet here you are.

 

I am just so so sorry the Panthers cannot seem to live up to your oh so lofty expectations. Damm them man. Damm them to hellz.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
