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.

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.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
