7 winning seasons out of 24, and a very murky future ahead

After last night's loss, it's guaranteed that in 24 seasons, the Panthers have only had a winning record 7 times. That's less than 1 out of every 3. And as we all know, they've never had consecutive winning seasons.

Change is fast a-coming. Cam Newton's career is potentially coming to an end because of a lingering shoulder injury, Ron Rivera's head coaching status up in the air, and several long time veterans are retiring at the end of the season. The future is very murky and uncertain.

Will new ownership finally end the wild inconsistency and frustration the Panthers deliver their beleaguered fanbase? Or are we coming to the end of a moderately successful era and headed for darker times?

Wow, what’s the new owner going to do?

hire who? There are no decent available coaches,..

who is going to trade for Cam which is what it would take,.. and oh there are are no Desean Watson’s or Jared Goffs or Patrick Mahomes or Baker Mayfields in this draft,.. so replace him with what?

who would want to come to this team with no viable draft possibilities and a quarterback with an uncertain future? Oh, half our players are not under contract and our cap sucks.

so what’s Tepper going to do?

We wont be competitive until at least 2020.

it’s not nearly as bleak as it was in january 2009

we can start by getting rid of the old guard and bringing in fresh new leadership

we’ll have a top 15 pick most likely... maybe even top 10

we don’t rly need a complete roster overhaul like we could’ve used in 2011. some areas obviously need help, but there isn’t a dearth of talent across the board like there was in 2010.

tepper just needs to clean slate the executive personnel and the coaches and not do what jerry did trying to stretch out a rebuilding phase for 4 years while slowly edging some guys out and working with other guys and also rallying an owners’ movement against the NFLPA which totally went against the interests of the product that was being put on the field.

Did you know that we have the highest percentage of winning seasons among all current NFC South teams?

      He’s kind of overrated to be honest. Never really felt like a true #1 or elevated his play to become a guy the defense really has to worry about.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
