We are finishing last next year.

[RumHam]

The division was already trending in the positive direction and this afternoon solidifies that. And here we are. With hurney. And Ron. No DC in sight. No changes after a failed campaign. Got a feeling tepper is following that hurricanes model. And no hiring wilks doesn't fix poo. We are fuged. Tank mode.

Panthers front office  sadly looks like “more of the same” is not only acceptable, it’s desired.

I'm glad that means Rivera and Hurney will finally be gone.

I certainly do not have any faith in management and coaching.  Ownership's inaction has left me scratching my head.  But it is what it is, and more so than anything else, its just to depressing to spend the long dark offseason believing we're going to be horrible.

So, before we start talking last place, lets see what happens with the draft, FA and Cam's shoulder.  You never know, a few things go our way and the skys the limit.  We do have bright spots on the team that we tend to overlook in our commiserating.

I called that over a month ago.  Lame Duck coach and GM...  When coach or GM get a genuine chance, they get 1 year contract extension.  We are tanking 2019.  Lame Duck coaches never do well. 

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

Yeah next year is a total lame duck year.

Then some of you should take next year off from football then..

Go spend more time with family, catch up on some house work, read a good book, catch up on some TV series, develop some new hobbies, or do some charity work..

Stop wasting your time here since you've already given up on the team...

[WarPanthers89]

Never fear the odd year......

[Seltzer]

Another embarrassing thread...

I sincerely hope some of you are not this defeatist in your personal lives...

Just a ridiculous thing to post at this point. We are months away from free agency and the draft where we have 4 picks in the first 3 rounds of what is projected to be one of the best drafts for defensive lineman in some time which happens to be our biggest need. On top of that, this team just had one of the best drafts in franchise history. Samuel and Moton showed elite potential in their 2nd years. CMC showed he could be arguably the best combo rushing/receiving back in the league...

If you are truly that pessimistic, you really should sit a season out or pick another team. Do yourselves and everyone else a favor...

[Jon Snow]

I'm not sure about that but it sure doesn't look very promising so far.

  I hear you. It’s hard to read through doom and gloom posts. But in a way I have to agree with OP. On a day when the Bucs grabbed a successful head coach, and rumors that Todd bowles a very good DC (not HC), will join him. Atlanta picked up Koetter from TB as their new OC. Again good OC terrible HC. NO obviously doing ok there. Meanwhile crickets in Carolina after an abysmal 7 game slide. I look at our team and we haven’t got any exceptional younger talent. I hope for the best but the Panthers need some good news to pick them up. Coaching, draft, FA, trade. Something.

Sweet, so the worst we can finish is 3rd then. I’m about it.

Just don't embarrass the NFCS this year bitch.  Try not to top those buzzards in Atlanta for epic fails.
