A loss to the Saints on MNF would be as bad a start as the Panthers can get.

Look at UGA without Bennett. Replacing QBs is hard sometimes, even when you have 4 and 5 star recruits stacked like cordwood.

Bama had a nice run with Hurts, Tua, Mac, then Young but the talent gap isn’t what it was for them with NIL money involved. I know what you are saying though incorporating young new QBs into an offense is tough. It’s what Carolina is currently struggling with in the NFL.

This isn’t how the team has been operating though. If they truly believed this they would have taken the Burns deal. I agree we SHOULD be rebuilding, but the moves we have been making are that we are a “QB away,” and now that we have that guy it’s time to win. Any team who thought they were rebuilding loads up on draft picks and we are literally doing the opposite of that. 

I've seen a lot of "well if it were we a rebuild they'd be doing this" type of logic (all of it extremely flawed) and people freaking out and panicking because of that.

It was always going to be a foundation building year.

So many act like this team doesn't remotely have a playoff caliber roster or a chance of it. Do you remember the only reason they weren't in the playoffs last year was because a bone headed stupid penalty by dj Moore. Upgrading the most important position in football and bringing in an all-star coaching staff to boot brought some expectations in a division like this. No reason they shouldn't have a legitimate shot.

You were skeptical of 2021, but you're absolutely certain you know who and what we are based on two games into this year? 

Yeah, sure...

I went into this season with no definitive expectations because I knew the kind of season we were looking at.

A rebuild.

This season is about building a foundation, getting our franchise QB adjusted to the pro level and hopefully learning a thing or two along the way. Any winning we do is just gravy.

To anyone who went in expecting more than that, or especially expecting playoffs or some kind of strong push, I've called that unrealistic...and still do.

Hell yea I was skeptical in 2021. I’ve thought Matt Rhule was a fraud since the day they hired him. Sam Darnold was Jets reject and those never pan out well. That was easy to see. 

But like a broken record I will keep saying it, we were sold on a high priced “all star” coaching staff and a #1 overall pick at QB, so damn right expectations should be higher. Starting 0-2 in the division while the rest of the division is 2-0 after all the moves they made is a bad look no matter what excuse you want to make. This is professional football.

Except they shouldn't...

All you're really doing right now is trying to find an argument to justify being emotionally upset about losing.

It's silly.

After showing life late last season under Wilks, with the coaches they brought in, and the price they paid to get Bryce Young… if you think we shouldn’t have reasonable expectations that the team is competitive this season well I guess keep expecting nothing and you’ll never be disappointed (except I know you will be)

No, I don't. And no, I won't...at least not this season.

All I'm hoping for this year is improvement, especially towards the final few games of the year.

Next season is when we can start talking about having higher expectations.

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
