My interest in this team is at an all time low

[Ricky Spanish]

I really don't make threads like this ever, but I am just completely disinterested in this team. 

I have purchased tickets to at least one home game every year since I moved to the area back in 2014, but I have yet to buy any since 2018.

We kept Hurney on board long enough for him to fug up another draft (2019) and dole out a record breaking contract to a RB while said RB was still under contract for two more years only for it to blow up in the team's face (oh wow, deja-vu). 

We have no long term solution at QB while committing close to 60 million and 3 draft picks on the position since last offseason.

The team looks like it is getting worse as the season goes on. We are getting blown out, the offense can't score, and the coaching staff is getting out coached week in and week out. 

We have very few draft picks for next year because we traded a 2, 4, and 6 for the worst QB in the league as a reclamation project that was DOA; and we are without a 3rd that we traded for a project CB that the coaching staff fell in love with during the 2020 draft. 

Things looking the way they are, there is little to look forward to in the near future as a Carolina Panthers fan. At least in 2010 we had the #1 pick to pull for with the chance at landing a franchise QB, and the foregone conclusion that Fox would be gone and a new era of coaching would bring new excitement to the team.

We are hemorrhaging money and picks at the QB position with absolutely nothing to show for it, our best player is hurt (again), our coaching staff looks out of their depth every week, effort is lackluster from all areas of the team, there are no slam dunk QB prospects available in the coming draft, our offensive line is in shambles, and it seems like we are going to give Matt Rhule another year as HC while other candidates with better NFL Resumes will grab HC jobs to breathe life into downtrodden fanbases. 

Rebuilds don't have to take this long in the NFL. Look at the Rams, Browns, Chargers, Tennessee, Buffalo, and Dallas for examples of new coaches getting results within 2 years of being hired. 

What do we have to root for on Sundays now? The corpse of Cam Newton? A rookie RB who looks... decent? WRs that can't get open? An Offensive Line that can't block for crap? A Defense getting manhandled in the run game week in and week out? A very bad Special teams unit? We are on a downward trend and I don't have the optimism I've had in the past that things are going to get better. It seems like every choice we have made since Tepper took over has been the wrong choice that results in the worst possible outcome. 

I am not a fair weather fan, I will always root for this team, but I just can't invest the time or money into a franchise striving for incompetence like the Panthers seem to be.

The part that allowed me to endure 2010….is we knew that was the end of the John Fox era.    

what makes this window worse than 2010…is we don’t know if this Matt Rhule shitshow is even going to be over. 

I want a clean house.  New HC, new GM.  Tepper is what it is.  

But I don’t see why this new GM still gets love.   Rebuilding team traded away almost all their 2022 draft picks.

I respect that feeling, OP. I'm picking a new team next year unless Rhule gets fired. There's absolutely no reason whatsoever to support this reeling pile of garbage. There's no heart, energy, intelligence, strategy or talent.

I agree, and I think this is why Rhule will be gone.  There hasn't been any progress in 2 seasons beyond spending every resource on defensive players.  And we still can't stop anyone.

I can find nothing do disagree with that the op mentioned.  My enthusiasm for the Carolina Panthers has been completely gutted and burnt to a crisp over the last 3 seasons.

Actually, you are very disappointed but still interested in the team, thus the effort to tell the world how you feel.

Eat a turd and go back to your TB trolling

Everyone is disappointed.

Disappointed in Rhule

In Brady

In Cam, Darnold, etc.

Disappointed in the Oline, Dline,  and in 47 of our CB's

CMC is a huge fragile disappointment

All the trade downs turned into disappointments

 

and on and on

 

But, we will watch with disgust and start talking draft soon because we are football fans.

But, yeah, it sucks right now

You sir make little difference here.  Your push button, low resolution thinking responses are nothing but posts, Zod thanks you, but again, nobody cares

[TylerDurden]

Same Ricky, same.  And I pie'd CRA initially bc I agreed with everything except getting a new GM.  The coaching staff has to go, but I believe in Fitterer.  I'm 100% on board with this front office and scouting dept.  The coaching staff from top to bottom has to gtfoh yesterday.
