I donated blood a few months back and got a voucher for a game ticket

For the past two months, I have been sitting on this voucher to either the Cards game or the Lions game, and I have absolutely no desire to claim it. 

5 years ago, if you would have told me I could have a free game ticket I would have been over the moon excited to go. Now you literally couldn't give me one for free because I have no desire to waste my time watching this team.

We just bought a house and spent the entire weekend moving. In years past, the FIRST thing I would have done was make sure the TV was set up so I could watch the Game on Sunday. The TV is still in the box and I didn't bother checking my phone for game scores until 4, and that was only to check my fantasy teams. I saw we lost. I am not surprised, and frankly I don't really care. I have no idea how anyone looked but I'm sure it was subpar because that is our new normal. Apathy has taken over. Any good will and excitement built up over the offseason is now completely gone. 

Remember when Tepper said that he wouldn't accept mediocrity? I guess he meant he'd except abject failure instead.

Man do I hear you.  It's apathy overdrive.  At our previous worst, I would at least be excited to start off the games, now, it's just general excitement for the full slate of Sunday games with better things to do.  

I had the place to myself with the fiance dress shopping/having a ladies Sunday, yet still had our game on mute on my mac with redzone on the actual tv.  And didn't care/was cleaning the house lol. Only time it was this bad has been 2010 (but we all knew going into that season what the deal was) and that's it.  Never felt that back in 01 although will say I was 14ish and it's hard to remember.

Then why even post this?

To illustrate how far this franchise has fallen in the eyes of some of the team's biggest supporters.

To commiserate with others who feel the same way as I do.

To vent. To bitch. To complain. To scream into the void and realize nothing will be done no matter how much I complain. 

I'm seeking catharsis.

Why even ask why I posed it? This is a Panthers message board and the Panthers suck. Did you honestly expect to read anything positive on here?

    • Are you guys trying to say that the Cam ‘haters’  exactly mirror the Darnold ‘lovers”? Same people?  I don’t think that is it at all. I think it is more likely to be different people, probably with some overlap. This racism thing, when most of the team and league is Black and people are big fans of plenty of Black players, but have football issues with one or two and that makes them a racist? I don’t understand that at all.   I will tell you also, Sam Darnold at the price he would have cost, and all that cost invested in other areas plus we’d have DJ Moore, was a far better option than what they did.   
    • More of the same, but with actual statistics thrown in with the film review. It's a long one He puts blame on the offense and coaches as well, but doesn't sound too high on Bryce's ceiling. Lots of words but here's the basic summary Young’s lack of arm strength and size creates little room for error in his play. If he takes one extra hitch or is a hair late getting rid of the football, defenders often make plays on the ball or squeeze windows even tighter. The issue is that Young constantly needs to take an extra hitch to get enough zip on the ball when throwing to the outside and he often needs to work backward in the pocket to see that target. What does this all mean for Young going forward? Well, let’s just say it’s not exactly a rosy start to his professional career. It’s a rough statistical profile and his play wasn’t overwhelming when I studied him. Yes, former No. 1 picks like Goff and Trevor Lawrence have overcome their horrid rookie years to become viable quarterbacks, but those are the exceptions to the rule, and Lawrence showed more glimpses of high-end play during his rookie year during the Urban Meyer experience than Young did under Reich and the rest of the Panthers' funky bunch coaches. This is not to say that Young is a bust already, either. His accuracy and intelligence still translate to every offense and still give him a floor as a viable starter, and better teammates, like the newly acquired Diontae Johnson and explosive rookie wideout Xavier Legette, should help highlight those traits even more. But, you take a player No. 1 overall to move the needle, not to just get the job done. Young has a path to be a quarterback who can keep an offense on time with some ad-libbing ability to add creativity and spice to an offense (Alex Smith, another quarterback with a rough rookie season, is a play style and career comparison I keep coming back to for Young). But to justify that 1.1 selection, Young (and Canales) have to push it even more in 2024 and beyond. https://sports.yahoo.com/bryce-youngs-hopes-for-a-bounce-back-season-with-panthers-comes-down-to-more-than-just-his-supporting-cast-140010168.html
    • Definitely in the running. I’d probably go Oakland. Lost football, seriously crappy baseball team. They have Golden State Warriors I guess.
