How many more losing seasons could you endure?

I've often wondered how Lions fans can keep doing it.

We might be about to find out.

In previous bad years such as Weinke and 1 and 15 I'd at least listen to the radio call.  I can't say I have the enthusiasm even for that anymore with the state of this organization and the consistent mediocrity at best.

I'll always have a place in my heart for the Panthers.  However, when they have a bad season, I just dial back my enthusiasm for the Panthers and increase my enthusiasm for NFL football in general.  A good NFL game without the Panthers is still a good NFL game.

Hope springs eternal that Dave Tepper will eventually hire coaches and executives capable of at least achieving mediocre, if not exceptional, results.

First step:  Panthers need to recognize they have a problem.

Second step:  Panthers part ways with Matt Rhule.

A lot depends on strength of schedule.  If we show increasing our talent and we show good play next year, I could see another losing season.  We better be showing great improvement though.  Now that's probably my limit.

I mean, I've been by their side since day one ... and they suck. So continued suckage won't make me pull for another team. But baseball is always my first love and I care less and less about NFL every season, especially since I left Charlotte. But nah, I'll always follow the team. I could see me not watching games at some point though.

I'll always remain a Panthers fan and from the start of every season will be very interested in the games as I will always be hopeful going into a season. But if this stretch of sucking continues it will be earlier and earlier in the seasons if we struggle when I start to lose interest. Haven't missed a game yet this year yet but the last few have been doing other things at the same time and have missed a fair amount of plays including TDs, etc. When we're good I'm annoyed by missing plays but haven't cared one bit these past few weeks. I also may miss part of tomorrow's game. So yeah the state of this team absolutely blows but I can endure it. Just won't invest as much time/interest in the team when they're this bad.

    • Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers. 
    • Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production. 
    • I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
