Will just firing Rhule do it? Firing Rhule and the OC do it? Is the base lost and will take years to recover?

Will winning bring them back or has the damage been done? How do they pull the bandage off and let the wounds heal? 

Twenty fifteen was a magical season and we are light years away from that energy.

Is the fanbase done with this farse for good?

Came here to post something similar. If this team was 4-1 and the team looked good, the fanbase would be excited, the stadium would be full of fans….it would be a whole different vibe.

Unfortunately the Panthers are a miserable 23-47 since Tepper bought the team, and 11-27 under his handpicked head coach. 

No quicker way to kill an already fickle and fair weather fan base than a stubborn owner holding onto a wildly unqualified head coach for longer than he reasonably should.

Like the other guy said, winning fixes everything. People forget about dumb mistakes and the past. People don’t pay attention to the small things and distractions. Winning pulls teams and fans together.

A young energetic coach with a clear well defined plan (not some vague process nonsense) and seeing said plan come to fruition whether that’s taking Will Anderson and getting a Jimmy G for a year or Stroud/Young and building around them. If the jets and browns fans can endure than so can I. I understand why some won’t ever be passionate again but at the end of the day I’m a huge Panthers fan and I WANT to support my team but I’m not gonna spend my hard earned money anymore until we have a clear direction.

Put a good product on the field and folks will watch it.

Call them basement dwellers while you serve turd burgers and poo shakes and you’ll have what we have now.

I don’t see how firing Rhule will fill more seats. Wilks isn’t going to fix our bumbling stumbling offense so you can still expect losses to pile up. 
 

Maybe people will get excited knowing that we might finally get a legit HC, but you have to remember Tepper will be heading that… again.

This is the most basic thing to do. But that may not happen this season.

Instead, Wilks is going to have to concentrate on developing that team identity.  While Rhule is gone, will Snow follow him?  Will we need a new DC as well?

We have a LOT of questions to answer as we move forward.  I have no idea what will happen, but it's something.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      I saw an interesting point the other day about our type of situation.  It could have been wise to hold him off for 1-2 weeks, but that would not have anything to do with Bryce and you could easily communicate that from a PR standpoint.   Why? Well, we just brought an entirely new staff into town, new offense for the returning OL, and had wholesale turnover elsewhere.  So just run Dalton out there the first game or so to see how things are shaking out.  Dry run to make sure we won't kill the kid.  We weren't eyeing the SB.  Get a sense of the line, the receivers, the playbook.  It gives you a glimpse of what Bryce would be stepping into and a good barometer on where things stood sans him.  I suppose we sort of did that with Dalton, but that was a reactive switch and like @Ricky Spanish mentioned, it was against an injured SEA defense where we threw a ridiculous amount.  Who knows, maybe we could have at least won a game or two more that way.  You can adjustments prior to Bryce stepping in, better tee it up for him, and maybe we end up winning game 1 or 2. Last year was such a sh*tshow.  One of the worst seasons I've ever experienced in any sport for any team.  Absolutely nothing made sense together.  Happy we cut the cord early, but should have never hired that crew in the first place.

      Johnson is gonna want $20M+ next year. That's why they should have drafted Ladd.

      It's like folk didn't even watch the game. Dalton took a beating, and barely avoided a lot more violent hits. No 35 years old QB is going to survive a season like that. Imagine him against Dallas or Houston or Indy or Detroit or New Orleans twice! He played better than Bryce in that 1 game, but he wouldn't have lasted half the season.
