How many more losing seasons could you endure?

I'm just going to have to sit through all of the losing seasons. I hope there won't be many, but there will be some, even in the best of situations.

Becoming a Panther fan is a lifetime thing for me. This is it. 

For me, and all the others like me, though -- we deserve better than this crap.

I have also respected Browns fans.  Admire them sticking with their team through all that misery.  I used to work with a guy who was a Browns fan...he told his son he should pick another team...but he stuck with the Browns.  I guess the Panthers are still to young to have that kind of loyalty. 

I am not a happy fan and think Tepper has made a lot of mistakes.  He was not who I wanted for an owner.  We got who the NFL wanted for his money.  He needs to start taking some advice from some smart football people.  This team needs a reboot...ASAP.

yea...reboot the reboot...

You said a lot, but you really didn't answer the question...but, from what you did say, I can assume that you'll endure whatever you must?

Don't know how much the younger generations are interested in football.  Think it is probably waning with each passing 'gen' group. Losing it's place as the number one sport is very possible and probable.

 

 

Just zero sort of evidence or data or study that supports this claim. I’m actually a teacher (8th grade) and football is by far I mean by far the most popular sport still with this generation. Like, not even close.

I think everyone needs to take some sort of a chill pill. Things are bleak right now but acting like we’re the next Lions or Browns is still very premature. There’s so much parity in the league right now, have a few good drafts and find a good coach and you can become a contender quick.

The Rhule experiment has been a disaster. I don’t think that means Tepper can’t pick good coaches. Hiring coaches is largely a crapshoot, every team is going to miss on a coach at some point. Let’s hope Tepper realizes his mistake, fires Rhule after this year and finds a better coach this time.

Been pulling for Panthers, NCSU and Carolina Hurricanes all my life.  You always stick by your team.  It makes you savor the good year years more.  Some of you have been spoiled pulling for UNC and Duke basketball.  Most teams suck more often than not very few are great consistently.

So many kids play soccer now compared to the ancient times (1970's).   Parents are worried about injuries in football.

That may be one of the reasons that 7 on 7 is becoming more popular in high school since there's no tackling.  Also why the NFL rules are slowly edging towards touch football - too many injuries (and lawsuits) from the old, super violent way.

    • Blowout incoming and the wheels fall off. Parsons will have multiple sacks, prob a FF. Media immediately starts saying the Bryce era is over 
    • It's worth noting that we started playing something that looked like football after going down 17-0 against the Dolphins.  Up to that point we had rushed the ball 3 times and Bryce had two turnovers.   Then we ran it 5 straight times with Rico and he started cracking off some big gains and led to our first touchdown.  Another 37 yards of rushing later, Bryce goes 1 yard complete, incomplete, incomplete to get that field goal before halftime.  Then we committed big time to the run in the second half and played some really nice complimentary football.  The Panthers had stumbled on a formula, and it started with Rico being crazy productive.  Something they only learned because Chubba was injured and Bryce started that game so poorly they were forced to lean on Rico. Fast foward to Dallas, they essentially lean into the same game plan against the Cowboys and I think everyone was surprised by how quickly it started to look complimentary.  In my opinion the productive offense really helped the defense as well.  We played quite solid against a top offense. Finally we make our way to the Jets and Bills, Chubba's return.  You can't say the low scoring affair and return to ineffective football against the Jets was all on Chubba, they were indeed a better defense and so was Buffalo.  But the production difference between the two backs in both games was both visually and statistically obvious.  The bigger picture is the offense took a major step back as well.  They are other moving parts and it's isn't all one thing, BY9>Dalton by a decent margin at this point.   But yeah, Rico's vision and athleticism is just better than Chubba and it jumps at you.
