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.

      The Panthers have an effort problem

      By CPcavedweller · Posted

      To me, this seems like they feel they aren't going to be competitive. I can't help but go back to Bryce. Good guy, but he doesn't inspire people to give it their all. He isn't a "leader" that people look to. There is no Smith, Delhomme, Kuechly, Cam, etc. coming in that door.  It has to be Bryce, but biologically speaking, how often is the shortest man in the room going to command the kind of respect that will drive people? It just isn't. That isn't how we are wired. That isn't how any living animal on Earth today is wired.  I just follow the science guys.

      Vick's issue with Reid was that he couldn't take a hit, and he wouldn't go down. Otherwise he was pretty good much of the time.  Mahomes has a system that works. Mahomes doesn't become Mahomes elsewhere because not everyone can extract 125% of the ability of a specific player like Reid can. Kevin O'Connell is beginning to look like he has that ability as well but I'll need to see how he does with his Redshirt Freshman.  I also wonder how much of their playoff issue last year was related to the offense as a whole and not just Darnold. Fans don't really dive into the "why" things happen, they just see the what and complain about it.
