Are we at the lowest point in panthers history?

I doubt it.  I think the lowest point was the year Panthers were formed, as an expansion team.  There were some growing pains before they could become competitive.

I remember when the Tampa Bay buccaneers had their first year of existence. They went two and a half years before they even had their first win. Their first win came against, you guessed it the New Orleans Saints.

Do U remember going the nfc championship game in yr 2

That was such a fun ride, right until we had to go to GB.

And even year one wasn't horrible. 7-9 was better than any expansion team before us.

There is still 15 games left sooooo

1-15 in 2001 was the lowest, that Chris Weinke era was rough…but we’re approaching that territory quickly. There have been some bad seasons in Panthers history; Weinke, Rodney Pete, Vinny Testeverde, David Carr, Sam Darnold… etc etc…

In 2001, the Panthers won week 1 in Minnesota, rookie returner Steve Smith looked amazing in that game… here we go…. And went on to lose 15 straight games. That season netted them Peppers in the draft at least!

 

The thing is, at least they had some hope then. Right now, there is zero hope. The owner has proven time and time again that he is incompetent running an NFL franchise. The coach is an absolute joke, at the very least Fitterer is not bad, although he did trade 3 draft picks away for Sam Darnold…but with all that being said, it’s hard to see this getting any better any time soon.
 

It’ll come down to how Tepper handles the next coaching hire and what happens from there. If we end up with Sean Payton and CJ Stroud or Bryce Young then everything changes just like that:) it’s the NFL, so there’s always some hope of a quick turnaround ala 2001—>2003…

2001 was 1 year. We are approaching 5 years of 5 or less wins.

Y’all want to yank for a great pick. How has that worked in the last 4 years?  Our pics have suuuuuuucked!

The lowest point will be Christmas Eve when Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions blow this team out in Charlotte.

I just figured out “The Process”. 
 

Coach and play bad for a couple years, then drop a 0-17 in their laps.

Guarantee a number 1 pick to pick your favorite QB

Shock the world by getting a 4th year on a 7 yr contract.

Yes.  And it's not even close.
