Seriously man, we haven't had a winning season since 2017. That was 5 seasons ago. That's half a decade of consistent losing. 

At least before this period we were inconsistently good. 

I've been a fan since 2003 and a casual fan before that. I remember the good times but it's been entirely too long since the last good times (arguably 2015 or 2017 if you forget about getting 3x swept by the Saints) .

I see all these other teams having success and i just get frustrated.  I even have a cynical look on the Super Bowl. I dont fuging understand why we have to consistently watch incompetence inconsistency and ineptitude.

Do you think we will have the first winning season in 6 years in 2023? Or will we have to wait longer?

 

Will Reich finally lead us to consecutive winning seasons?

 

I know a lot of this is connected to whether we get a good QB too. I really don't know how i feel about our chances of being able to do that without trading the farm for a top 3 pick, and you shouldn't assume we'll be able to do that like a ton of people seem to be. But I understand the frustration with constantly cycling through QBs other teams got rid of.

 

I think Teppers in deep poo if this Reich move doesn't work in the first two seasons. The casual interest for the teams gotta be bottomed out if this doesn't work imo, at least a new staff and QB will temporarily spark interest.

I would have expected this sort of post during the midst of Rhule's reign of terror, but not now, not today.  Seeing all the talented and experienced coaches being hired during the last few weeks should give all Panthers fans renewed hope of great things to come.  It should also be taken as a positive sign that David Tepper is capable of admitting when he's wrong and willing to take the steps needed to correct his errors.

In short it is all good.  Enjoy the ride.

I'm concerned what the implications of bringing in a rookie QB means. It means we are yet another 2 or 3 years away. I don't want Matt Rhule's seven year theory to be proven correct.

Im genuinely an optimistic sort when it comes to the Panthers.  I think every season we have a chance and I rarely let myself fall into the mindset that we are going to suck or that we are going to get massacred in a game or season.

Thats not to say I get excited either.  I learned long ago with this team to not let them push me too far emotionally in either direction.

 

I haven't been this excited in a very long time just based on the staff that Reich is assembling.

I certainly hope we draft our long term solution at QB this year or next, but I'm not expecting instant gratification.  Part of the enjoyment of the game is watching players mature and eventually dominate their positions.  That usually takes a few seasons to come to fruition.  

When it comes to Rhule, all you have to do is look at all the 1 and 2 year turn arounds of former cellar dwelling teams to realize his theory about needing 7 years is nothing but BS.

Yeah, we weren't good Cam's rookie year but you could see where things were going. We were competitive, the games were exciting to watch. It was very clear that we had a lot of reason for hope. I want that again.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
