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.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      There was no reason to believe in either Cam or Jake as a top tier elite QB before those seasons either. Cam was an "athletic" QB in most people's minds and his passing skills were open for debate. And there was a bit to that as he was still trying to get that massive power in his arm tamed to be able to put some touch on his passes. And then, he did it. Missiles became bombs, the firing lanes became points of finesse. Cam grew up and leveled up, while still retaining the ability and drive to truck people whenever he wanted. And Jake... no one freaking believed in Jake except Jake himself. He got, and let's be honest with this, one chance in a losing game to make something out of his career. And he rose to the occasion like some kind of mythical hero and continued to do so for the season. He became a true leader for the team, and his gunslinger capabilities rehabbed Moose's career and created Smitty as a force in the league. Smitty went from a barker to a biter. But no one believed in Jake going in. And they trashed him on his way out. Now Bryce... who knows? I've seen some improvement. Maybe he finds his footing. His teammates seem to love and respect him and that means a lot. The game should be moving at his speed now. He has weapons available to him and maybe a defense that doesn't just roll over by the third quarter. And his coach seems to be moving this team in the right direction. Could he do it? It's up to him, if he can find the magic like Jake and Cam did. But don't doubt this, magic is really, really hard to find.
