The season has not lived up to my expectations that were based more on hope than fact

Could it be that we just had a weak schedule last year? The mighty AFC and NFC west aren't exactly the cream of the crop.

I believe that is why the nfl gave us the schedule we have now was to break the mirror we all were looking at. Jake sucked just as bad last year. We did have a good run d, but we had a bad secondary.

The rotating south/east/west/north inter division games are set years in advance I think. Does suck though they keep giving us the damn Giants in NY every year. We had them last game of the year last year in NY, a preseason game with them in NY, and a game with them in a few weeks in NY. And we get the Jets today in NY. wtf?

I told you all in the offseason that last year was an aberration. We went 12-4 because we had one of the easiest schedules in the league. Those of you who are surprised by this years results must have become new fans last year because this has always been a typical Fox team. Win when the schedule is easy then crash back down to earth when the schedule is harder and expectations are high.

    • I think we have some revisionist around it here because of all the drama around Tepper's involvement. If you pull up any scouting report from the time you'll see the same take. WalterFootball's report sums up the media's thoughts on him well: "Young has everything the NFL is looking for in a quarterback except in terms of weight and height." He was the consensus top QB of his draft and the only real question mark they had about him was whether his body could hold up in the NFL. The infamous Steph Curry comparison the Panthers latched onto came from Albert Breer. The excuses I've heard for him are more anecdotal. Bryce Young's development is the only bullet point most NFL fans have on the Panthers right now. That and the coaching turnover. If you're not actually watching our games it's easy to believe this is just a dysfunctional organization that doesn't know how to unleash this talented Heisman winner.  I've seen media and fans alike run with that narrative way more than criticizing Young outright. Whenever we win there's flocks who use it as proof that the Panthers just need to be patient.  
    • So maybe 1-3 vs playoff teams, going by standings as of today. I guess that is an improvement.  We are just about improved enough to be in purgatory draft wise. It really isn’t so bad in the 1st unless you really want that top QB or maybe edge guy because there are usually plenty of good players at the top but it hurts you some as get deeper in the draft.
