A Panthers loss would ruin my Sunday, it would be one of the main things on my mind on Monday, and it would be Tuesday or Wednesday before I was over it and thinking about the next game.  It was like that for me probably up to or around 2010.  A few games into that season I had the realization that we were going nowhere fast and it was going to be a long climb back to playoff contention.  I adopted the mindset that the Panthers were terrible, they were probably going to lose, and it wasn't worth my energy or time.

It's a bummer that Bryce Young's tenure got off to an inauspicious start, but them's the breaks.  This is a hard league to win in and we're starting from scratch with a rookie QB and new coaching staff.  Those are long odds.

Still get hyped for every game, but I no longer scream at the tv or let a loss bother me.  I’ve just gotten used to being a fan of a terrible franchise and have very low expectations for every game.  

The cold hard truth.

 

I also remember screaming at the TV during the Cam/Luke/Rivera era. 

 

Tepper era is more laughing. We are comically bad. Nothing else you can do but laugh at how bad we are.

No, still into it quite a bit, but not like I was during the Fox/Rivera eras. I watch every game but if they lose I just don’t care anymore and it doesn’t bother me nearly as much. It seems like once Tepper bought the team, it’s gone downhill for me a little, especially since Rhule.

Cam deserves to have that final year.

Im curious when It would've been ok to release him, because as of this offseason, he was still clamoring to be on a team, and 32 teams still said "No Thanks". I loved Cam. I loved Jake. But I'm also not blind and can  see when a player is broken and The Team needs to move on from The Player. TB2Gloves wasnt the upgrade, and sure, the position was mismanaged afterwards, but releasing Cam wasn't was bad as "Fandom" and "Hurt Feelings" make it out to be when you have the Team's interest in mind and not your own.

Cam was in a contract year. He was coming off an injury. He deserved to play thst last year out. They were not winning a Super Bowl with check down Teddy. He earned that final year and it was BS he didn’t get it. He also didn’t look bad with New England until he got hurt. Tepper, rhile, and Hurney can forever F themselves for that decision.

Should have let him play out his final year and then moved on, then it wouldn’t have been as sour as cutting him. Rhule knew cam was the alpha in the locker room and his ego couldn’t take that.

People's passion wanes over time.  Twenty years ago I was an insane Panther's fan.  Now, still a fan, but not nearly with the amount of energy and intensity. 

This. It used to take until Tuesday to get over a loss. Unfortunately Since mid 2018 we have been a bottom feeder and with getting older like mentioned above I’m just like oh well. I still care but I don’t let it ruin 2 days of my life every week. Tepper just doesn’t know how to hire the right people. Should have hired an up and coming coordinator to be HC

    • You can't say that with any certainty at all. Bryce played the worst football of any rookie ever. His mechanics and footwork have nothing to do with Frank, DC or anyone else. All those ints and fumbles, yep, those are Bryce too.  Bryce and Stroud are 2 different QBs. Just because Bryce had one complete game in year 3 vs Atlanta doesnt mean he could have led a team to the playoffs his rookie year. 
    • I added a question mark to your question. Also bolded it to look prettier.  
    • I don't understand the tone, I gave you my ranking, that's it.  And yes, I still view Lawrence and Kyler are still ahead, in my opinion, which doesn't really mean much lol.  What's this have to do with being a fan ffs? I will say, they are at the end of the list/the more arguable/debatable guys.  So open to debate but it seems you're going straight to the "you're not a fan" debate.  Which is super annoying. Maybe I'd agree Bryce could be ~19-20 on the list if the argument was laid out instead.  His Atlanta game was better than anything they have done in recent memory, but he's had like 10 other games this season.   He is way more inconsistent in my view, due to a few factors... Shotty footwork - he has a shallow lazy step back from gun that puts an OL in an impossible place.  Goes on his toes wayyy to much more my liking. Poor upper body mechanics.  His upper body remains parallel to the LOS and has to perform that rapid twitch/turn motion to get in stance His shallow drops also create a lack of sight lines so he can't layer throws well He's had poor pocket presence - not last week, but it's been a thing   Pure traits standpoint Arm strength is mediocre Mobility is mediocre - can outrun at times but quicker IDLs can catch him Accuracy is a range due to his inconsistency - can be above average to very poor.  His career so far has been pretty bad with intermediates (which again was not the case against ATL) Ball Security Way too sensitive to fumbling Has exhibited very poor decision making, especially in first halves that put the team behind This all does NOT take away that he had a GREAT performance against ATL.  He was able to extend plays, found guys post-route in stride, the XL throw in Q3 was fantastic, a few of the Coker crossers were beauts.  There's no disputing that.   But yeah, in totality, it hasn't looked good but he absolutely cooked last week. Outside of that, he's only had 5 other 250 yard passing games in his entire career.  He stalls on drives, makes annoying turnovers, doesn't see the right guys.  It's okay to both say that and the fact that he balled tf out last week.  I hope he continues so we get better and maybe can make some noise.  Big test on Monday.
