The Panthers simply aren’t tough enough to win in the NFL

“The first he ever spoke to the Carolina Panthers, John Fox told his new team it simply was not tough enough to win in the NFL. It was the spring of 2002, the Panthers had just became the first team ever to lose 15 straight game in a season. 20 months later they were in the Super Bowl.”

When I watch us the past few years and games like today, I go back and think about this. I don’t think we are tough enough, enduring enough, or physical enough to win. Sometime towards the end of the Rivera era we became soft and the Rhule era just accelerated that. 
 

I would prefer an offensive minded coach, but honestly whoever can get us back to this level of intensity, is the man that needs the job.

We aren't good enough at the QB position to win in the NFL and the overall design of our offense is just straight trash to boot.

 

 

How on earth anyone could look at Ben McAdoo and say to themselves "This guy is a rock star OC" is beyond me. How he could have saved Rhule's job is even more baffling. How in the world Tepper thought either of those guys was good enough ... there's just no words.

That 01 team lost a ton of close games. They just needed to get over the hump. I look at this group and I don’t think we are even that close even though they’ve won a few more games overall.

The panthers have never been tough enough. At least not consistently. No back to back winning seasons, no Super Bowls. We have nothing to hang our hat on. We need some new blood. Someone that would make us a consistent winner. Enough of this good one year, bad the next bullshit.

I agree. I don’t think whoever that may be is the best offensive guru or defensive guru out there but the best leader. A person that can actually do what Matt Rhule was trying to convince everyone he could do. Rhule was trying to imitate a Parcells or Belichick but he just simply is not one.

The NFL in general is soft now. Todays game is a lot different than that of 20 years ago.

Yep. Like soft serve vanilla soft. Flag football. Do they do Oklahoma and nutcrackers and run the play in practice until guys are falling out? Doubt it.
I believe Luke might have pulled a Ronnie Lott and probably some other guys too but the league works against those players with these coed intramural style rules and officiating.

Those were the days. We haven’t been good at all in 5 seasons.

Tepper looks back at his decisions so far and decides to announce he feels it’s important to still be heavily involved in hiring process.

Seriously. You can’t make this poo up.

It was that moment that I knew we are at the least in for another round of idiocy; at most, this losing culture and dysfunctional franchise are here to stay.

Losing will become the norm. Going to games will be a drunken novelty event. In essence the new Browns.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
