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

    • My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again. 
    • Ok LT and Petersen are a cut above everyone else to me cmc and Faulk are interchangeable on this list.  though Faulk was better career wise
    • Maybe faked was too strong of a word.  "Milked" may be the better way to call it.
