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.

    • Just worry about it next year.  Its that simple honestly.  its way to early to do what ifs.  I could see us trade/cut chuba and retain dowdle, I could see them let dowdle walk and go with Chuba/Etienne and Brooks, and I could see Dowdle and Chuba both stay and see what happens.  Hell, we still have 6 games left THIS season plus possible post-season...what if Rico or Chuba have an ACL tear or severe injury.  I DO NOT want that to happen, but stuff like that does happen.  Remember RB is the most injury prone position in the NFL due to the beating their bodies take so having some extra guys is never bad, just wish it hadn't come at the cost we paid to get him.
    • I think it’s cool that no one can be really certain what the outcome will be.  That’s a lot of progress! This is a real opportunity for us, I’d be happy with a competitive game and thrilled if we sack up for a W.
    • I could never found out who did the first surgery. That failed.      Nor who did the recent one.    Yiu can’t count on anything involving him. If it happens it’s a windfall at this point.
