It does if they also consider getting blown out in the playoffs to be meaningless. This was a losing season either way.

It does if the sun is going to explode in a billion years too I guess...  it makes every season a losing season if you think about it from that perspective as well. As well as anything else. You can follow that rabbit hole all the way down.

If you have convinced yourself every ending is going to be miserable you won't be disappointed, either watching the Panthers or in life.

But to me personally, this seems like an awfully depressing way to live. But you do you

What do you mean? For entertainment.

If the Panthers get to the playoffs, okay, I'll pull for them. Though there's this creeping, nagging, thing — reality.

Well interestingly enough, watching Football is a way to escape Reality.  lol

The reality is this is yet another losing season. The posters that are acknowledging this fact are in no way less fans.

Winning always matters

Winning matters to coaches coaching for their jobs and players who actually care. For a lot of fans winning the last game of your season when it means absolutely nothing except that you beat a rival really doesn’t mean much.

It’s honestly funny. This entire season it feels like every week the opposite of what I wanted to happen happened. I suppose the Detroit game I was still cheering for a win. But it’s insane man, we are stuck in purgatory. It’s why I don’t even care if they just give a kings ransom to move up for a QB. If the player hits, we can be in the playoffs soon. If he doesn’t it should collapse enough to get a first overall pick again hopefully in a draft with a true franchise altering QB. Just stop this treadmill poo.

Winning is winning no matter who you are.

What is sad is a franchise whose fans argue and fight over draft position and losing. I hope we can get back back to playoff ball and meaningful games in January. We made some headway this year and hopefully we can continue the momentum next year. Good finish even though it didn't really increase Wilkes chances or show Darnold in a positive light other than a late drive to win the game.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
