Oh wee mayne, it’s been a hell of a ride, we will always have 2015 and the first half of 2018 and 2003. 

Seasons I was proud of:

1996 - NFC championship

2002 - John Fox took a 1-15 team to a respectable 7-9 record and a number 1 overall defense.

2003 - SB appearance

2004 - Aftwr devastating injuries and a 1-7 start the team got on a winning streak and almost made the playoffs if not foe the infamous Mike Vick 4th and 12

2005 - NFC championship appearance

2008 (despite how it ended) that team was fun to watch

2013 - Cam’s first playoff appearance, exciting team

2015.  - Best team to not win a SB in history of the NFL

For all his faults, Jerry Richardson was a good owner and gave this team an identity. Tepper sucks

I’m not totally excusing Fitt, but it’s clear to me most of his moves were heavily influenced by the coaches and Tepper.

Hes just doing what the guys around him want him to do.

Maybe he is a good talent evaluator. Who knows. BUT, we need someone who will stand up to Tepper and build a team correctly.

I don't plan on watching this team the rest of the year.

Every moment I have watched I have regretted and soon fixed by quitting watching.

Why bother. I'm just not invested emotionally in this team any more. It's a joke.

I don't see us being good for a couple more years....not that I will care.

I'm just done.

This... I'll check back in next year... if we start off looking the same way, it'll be back to not watching.

Not to buck the melodrama in this thread, but I will always follow this team, no matter how dark it gets. I'll never not be interested in how they're doing.

The bad times make the good times sweeter, and things won't be bad forever.

I was there, watching every game when we went 1-15 or 2-14.  I always knew things would get better.  This time feels different, I have no hope with David Tepper as our owner.

That's fair, but I just can't help but think that Lions and Browns fans would laugh at us complaining about a mere 6 years of losing. If they can turn it around, then certainly the Panthers can too.

For the non-SB years, 2005 & 2008 were the teams with the top talent that could have won it all.  Put 2005 (pre-TJ) Delhomme on the 2008 team, that would have done it,

I don't think you're guaranteed an expansion team whenever Tepper moves this one.

the biggest joke of a sports market. Maaaaaaaaaaaaaybe if they move to Raleigh, they'd appreciate it. Charlotte just doesn't care as much as other markets. Most sports franchises seem like a cash grab at this point.

I agree - loved watching rookie Cam and that team even if we didn't win many games.

      Joint Practice - Jets

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.

      Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.

      You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
