Has there been a bigger disappointment season in Panthers history? 1997? 2006? 2016? None of those teams started particularly strong, not as strong as 6-2. 2018 will be it.

3 straight losses against mediocre teams...3-6 Lions..really?....still think coaches are the problem...we have talent..

Nothing was worse than 1-15, i think most have just forgotten it.  We won our first game, thought we were on top of the world.  Then 1 loss after another.  That was a hard season to be a panther fan.  at the time we had the most losses ever in a row.

The 2003 Panthers lost 3 brutal games in a row. 

And the 2003 Panthers got to finish the season against the 3-10 Cardinals, 4-10 Lions, and 4-11 Giants. What a cupcake end to that season to stop the skid. 2018 Panthers still have to play the 10-1 Saints twice.

Just being a bad team is one thing. That sucks, but sometimes you just can't overcome having a bad team. Having what is supposed to be a good team and blowing the opportunity hurts so much worse.

1-15 at least got us the #1 overall pick and ultimately a franchise QB. This year, we're probably going to end up winning just enough games to put us juuuuust out of reach of the elite pass rusher we desperately need in the draft.

And the Browns... don’t forget the Browns

    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive lshort or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
    • Then please take a vacation from the team.
    • In addition to his weak arm he has to compensate in the pocket by throwing off his toes due to his height. Respectfully, its a handicap.
