***Over .500 as a Franchise Watch***


Sam Mills Fan

Recommended Posts

The Panthers' all-time regular season record is 178-182-1, postseason included it goes to 187-189-1.

Assuming we keep winning, we'll move to .500 all-time (postseason included) with a W over the Jets on 11/26. We'll move to over .500 all-time (postseason included) with a W over the Saints on 12/3.

We'll move to .500 all-time in the regular season with a W over the Vikings on 12/10. And, the Holy Grail, we'll move over .500 all-time in the regular season with a W over Green Bay on 12/17. If that were to happen (and I know all of this is pretty unlikely), we'd be over .500 as a franchise the way it's usually measured for the first time since 10/4/98.

Other stats: the most under .500 we've ever been was 28 games under .500 on 12/9/12. Most over .500 we've ever been was 7 games, most recently 11/9/97.

The Saints need to win 85 straight games to go to .500 all-time, the Falcons need to win 96 straight games to go to .500 all-time, the Buccaneers need to win 147 straight games to go to .500 all-time.

If this happens in may take us out of the bottom 1/3 of the league in W/L since 1996, our first season then we can try and get out if the bottom 50%...then we can be considered a winning franchise IMO or at least above average and not ok with mediocriticy. Long ways to go though just hope it happens in my lifetime.

    • I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.  
    • Thank god BigKat can't buy it because I'd be gone immediately 
    • Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
