Literally the worst division of all time. Panthers were 1st overall in every mock draft 5 days ago... and they might be in a playoff slot by midseason.

Yup. That’s not hyperbole. This may be the worst division in history, definitely worst since they made it 8.

Panthers will figure out a way to win 5 to 7 games this year............miss any playoffs of course and as a result of finishing in the bottom half of the middle of the league thus missing out on the tanking draft picks.

.......and as a result, risk repeating that possible fate again and again.

You play to win. I don’t believe in tanking and players don’t purposely tank when their  livelihoods depend on winning. You play every game to win.  

Oh I agree. Last Sunday not withstanding, we have a ways to go before we can be considered playoff ready!

I will say that this upcoming game IS our season and will dictate how the rest of the season goes. I will say that the Bucs look like the worst team in the league right now or damn near close to it, so I’m not as impressed by our win against them as I initially was, and the Saints might be 2nd worst and we beat them with a mediocre QB that also had a broken back.

Last week against the Bucs you could tell the Panthers were playing with a “fug it, nothing to lose, let’s have fun” type mentality. 
 

This Sunday against the falcons will be a GIGANTIC test to see how they do when the stakes are high and are actually playing for something with the pressure turned to 10. How do they handle the success of beating out the Bucs? How do they handle the high pressure situation of winning to get 1st place? Also, how will we do now that the falcons have tape on both PJ and the kind of offense we run without CMC?!

We won 1 game against a collapsing Tampa Bay. Let's pump the brakes a minute. It's as if everyone has forgotten all the other games we played this year. The tank is still on.

I agree. The thing that concerns me the most is if we fall to say pick 10 or 12, Fitt will mortgage our future and move up in the draft to get a QB all because we won 7 or 8 games when we could have just tanked, kept all our future draft picks and pick any QB that we wanted to pick.

      I moved to Atlanta for work, in June 1995. Almost the same for a Panthers fan.  This was pre internet at least for me, and there was no coverage unless we played the Falcons.  As a Panthers fan I hated that because I was super excited we had our own team finally and I was missing it.  I remember going to a bar and watching us beat SF maybe in our first year. But not much chance to watch games.  This prompts me to bitch that an expansion team’s first year was better than anything Tepper has been able to assemble.

      I get what you're trying to say, but I have seen Tetairoa open a plenty and  Hunter Renfrow open a plenty, but Bryce just misses what are supposed to be routine throws. Bryce's arm isn't Mahomes' arm, and he certainly doesn't have the plus mobility (basically the backyard-ball mentality and athleticism to run around until someone's open) and ability to make throws off platform that Mahomes' does.  We also have at least two TEs that get open on the regular, as well as two RBs that can catch and get open as well. Not to mention that Jalen Coker gets open on the regular when in. I just ain't buying that he doesn't have enough weapons. Legette gets open at times as well, not to mention Tremayne. If Bryce would just time his passes better and do it more consistently, it would open up the offense. His issues, at least in my mind, come down to one main thing: his height. He developed consistently bad mechanics over the years to overcome his inability to see the field, and while he got away with it pre-NFL, in the NFL where guys are a little bigger, a lot faster, and more experienced with decidedly more motivation to consistently do their jobs, Bryce is coming up short.
