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?

      I think he has closed the gap a little bit between him and a backup coming in and badly showing him up.  But not so much that someone could not come in and make the offense look like Andy did in Seattle week 3 2023. That poo was night and day to Bryce was putting out.  So, they are in a sense playing with fire by getting rid of Dalton and actually trying to bring in someone to push him.

      Some people have been beaten down so long they have no standards. Can't be reasoned with.

      Getting better, might be fairly charitable. We finished 1-3 with the pressure on. That is for sure not trending up.  I don’t see a clear run of performances that prove he has taken it to another level. Not yet.  I would say he played really well in the WC game. And folded on that last series where we still had a chance. I think he threw one good ball. That last series is the kind of thing a player is supposed to learn from and not repeat. We have to see him do it before we can credit him for doing it.    I would also say he has not done enough of playing at his ceiling and what we should expect as the game in game out norm is still not established.  We gonna get MNF in SF or we gonna get the WC game? Seattle or Atlanta yardage record?   Besides that he has three years of horrendous play to start the season hanging over him. Are we going to get that again or will he be over that? We can’t know that. Mind you, that isn‘t two of three it is three of three he has yet to play well to start the year as a pro. Ofer.    So, many questions remain.    As far as weapons and help… said it before. Fix the OL so we can protect him.  It is time for a 1.1 pick in his 4th season, third year in the same offense, to elevate the players we have given him. You can’t keep up the level of investment dedicated to propping him up, you have to prop up the defense too and get some balance.
