I don't.

It'd be great if some of our fans were a little smarter about it though 😕

Smarter about it? I think most of us know that preseason in a vacuum does not matter at all. HOWEVER, to be outscored 41-3 in 6 quarters and show no ounce of competency on either side of the ball (starters and depth) is very concerning, and you would be lying to say otherwise.

Any coach that coaches to win in preseason and not evaluate weaknesses/strengths is a fool.

Again, preseason matters zilch. 2008 Colts proves it. Good coaches use preseason to evaluate, not win.

Nothing matters until the regular season. For those of y'all quitting before game one of the season, well I don't know what to tell you.

You really can’t evaluate if you’re disadvantaging individual matchups against an opponent that is trying from the top down.

Could be 48-3, please hold

Agreed. I’m wondering if we are keeping a lot of starters out (or playing them briefly) because of the depth concern. 

You don't hang banners for undefeated preseasons. And(fingers crossed) we have been very healthy this offseason overall.

No reason to risk health for something like this.

I agree with you….It’s not just preseason…this will be a. Not so good year…we have at least 3 more years to rebuild lol

The problem is the team actually made some progress at the end of last season for the first time in what feels like forever and to come out like this with the money and experience put into the coaching staff is quite surprising. It’s still preseason so hopefully this is just a motivation thing from the starters but the backups look like ass too so that’s definitely not good.

Can definitely tell the new fans caring about preseason points. 
 

If you have confidence in your players in practice, there is no reason to put actual game plans into these glorified scrimmages where the only thing that actually matters is determining the bottom 5 spots on the roster. 

Bottom 5 spots?

Damn I'm struggling to identify the top 5 spots.

    • If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for. 
    • The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
