it's rough, i kno.. but i find myself less and less upset after games because I don't expect to win anymore.. fuggin sad.. I used to think - "Maybe if we get Cam in here.." "Maybe if the O-line can block.." "Maybe if we get a better play caller.."

It all doesn't matter because - the fish rots from the head down.. Matt Rhule has got to go before I give a decimal amount of my heart to this team again..

I saw this coming since 2013 with Gettleman, and I knew Rhule was going to continue the tailspin.

This has been in the works since Gettleman chipped away at the team that was built for 2013 and won in spite of him in 2015. A ton of leadership and talent on that team (Gross, Kaill, Wharton, Olsen, Smitty, Cam, DWill, JStew, Tolbert, Johnson, Luke, TD, Anderson, Addison, Captain, Norman, Blackburn, Beason, and Mitchell) was widdled down by 2017. Gone too were Beane and McDermott. In came the new ownership who followed up the Gettleman fiasco with this Rhule implosion. The years of Gettleman and Rhule have left this team with nothing to stand on now. The Panthers had the foundation for a dynasty of 10 to 20 years of success. Yes, it may have been hot and cold until McDermott and Beane took over, but the pieces were all in place. Shows you how 2 really bad decisions on leadership with Gettleman and Rhule can put a team into a 10 to 20 year tailspin.

The Panthers do have the pieces in place for a miracle turn around, but they will need one of the best coach/gm combos to pull it off.

Yeah, we should have stayed the course with Marty fuging Hurney. If only we gave him a second chance to redeem himself.

I feel good.

Call me a bad Panthers fan, but the only scenarios I would have been happy to see in Rhule's 3rd year as HC were a playoff run or us totally flaming out. We are totally flaming out, so I'm cool with it. We have finally reached the end of the era of Rhule.

The scenario that would have made me the angriest is if we were mediocre.  Like a 7-win team.  That would have sucked and made me concern Rhule was brought back for a 4th.

The one reminder is during the off-season, I miss it sooooooo bad, so even with these dreaded passing showcases. Im able to watch...Ive got toooo much skin in the game. Panthers are my last main sports team I follow, I dropped FF and havnt even watch thursday ball this yr........ If this type of tepper football keeps up for the next few years, it may break my cruse....But I also HATE FRONT_RUNNIMG ONLY fans, which the panthers have too many of....

Tepper is over at the NC shoreline walking the beach one day last week all by himself...........he comes upon this lamp buried in the sand........bends over picks it up and starts to clean it off when .......poof!......out comes a Genie.

The Genie says, "I'm the Genie of the lamp and I have one wish left for anyone who want it"

Tepper says, "I have a wish (while he pulls out a piece of paper from his back pocket)..........see this paper...its a map of the Middle East .....my people and the Arabs have been fighting over land and property there for over 3,000 years............its caused great turmoil and tragedy for us and the whole world in general.......can you bring peace and prosperity to that region of the world instead of this continued fighting, tension and strife?" 

The Genie looks at the map and says, "Hmm that's a really tall order".........(then hands the paper back to Tepper) and says......"Isn't there any wish you want besides that one?"

Tepper says........"Yeah......I own this football team and I just can't seem to get a winning season and make the playoffs with them.........My wish is you give us a winning season and make the playoffs this year"

The Genie looks back and Tepper and says, " Hmm......well uh............Say, could I see that paper with the map on it again?"

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
