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.

    • Draft picks are better for cap management and production always outperforms athleticism over time.  
    • awesome interview. Love the guy. 
    • all the trades and using PFFs draft rankings and Gemini's analysis: This is a high-value mock draft that effectively uses trade-down strategies to rebuild the Carolina Panthers' defensive interior and add depth to a roster with multiple holes. By turning mid-round capital into a volume of picks, you've secured several "sliding" stars and developmental high-ceiling players. Based on 2026 PFF big board trends and player value, here is the analysis: Draft Grade: A- The Top Picks: Interior Dominance  * 19. Peter Woods (DT, Clemson): Getting Woods at 19 is a steal. Heading into the 2025 season, he was viewed as a potential top-5 talent. While his production dipped slightly, his 4.75 40-yard dash at 315 lbs is elite. He provides the Panthers with a versatile disruptor who can play 3-tech or slide outside.  * 63. Dontay Corleone (DT, Cincinnati): "The Godfather" is one of the best pure nose tackles in the class. Pairing him with Woods creates an immediate identity for the Panthers' front seven. PFF loves his "unmovable" anchor. Securing him at the end of Round 2 after trading down from 51/53 is excellent value. The Mid-Round Steals  * 83. Deontae Lawson (LB, Alabama): Lawson is a high-IQ "green dot" linebacker. Many scouts projected him as a late 1st or early 2nd rounder before an ACL injury in late 2024. Getting a 2-time Alabama captain at 83 to lead the defense is a massive win for culture and stability.  * 130. Drew Allar (QB, Penn State): This is the "high-upside lottery ticket" pick. Allar has prototypical size (6'5", 240 lbs) and a massive arm. His stock fell due to a 2025 ankle injury and inconsistency, but at 130, he’s a low-risk, high-reward backup/successor to Bryce Young if the former No. 1 pick continues to struggle. Trade Analysis & Late Round Value Your strategy of "tier-dropping" (trading 51 for 53/121 and 53 for 63/95) allowed you to stay in the same talent bracket while picking up Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR) and Genesis Smith (S).  * 168. Parker Brailsford (OC, Alabama): Great value for a technical center who can compete for a depth spot.  * 169. Tacario Davis (CB, Washington): At 6'4", he is a rare physical specimen at corner. PFF and other boards often have him as a Day 2 talent; getting him in the 5th round (via the 161 trade) is arguably your best value pick of the draft. Summary of Picks | Pick | Player | Position | School | Analysis | | 19 | Peter Woods | DT | Clemson | Elite traits; Top-10 ceiling. | | 63 | Dontay Corleone | DT | Cincinnati | Best run stuffer in the class. | | 83 | Deontae Lawson | LB | Alabama | Vocal leader; sliding due to injury. | | 121 | Kevin Coleman Jr. | WR | Missouri | Speed threat to complement the room. | | 130 | Drew Allar | QB | Penn State | High-ceiling developmental passer. | | 169 | Tacario Davis | CB | Washington | Massive reach/length for a late flyer. | Final Verdict You addressed the trenches aggressively and took advantage of "injury discounts" on Lawson and Allar. The only minor critique is that the roster still feels thin at Edge (until the 211 pick), but the sheer volume of talent added to the interior DL and Secondary compensates for it.
