The Athletic: Is this the worst Panthers team of all time.

Long article here, but here’s the end:

”As for the worst Panthers’ team discussion, those interviewed and others informally polled agree it’s a two-horse race between 2010 and this year’s team, which will try to avoid becoming the first to finish 1-16 since the NFL went to a 17-game schedule in 2021.

Jansen, who snapped for both teams, would only say: “The 2010 team was really, really bad.”

Clausen is probably the worst QB of all time. I've never seen a QB literally refuse to throw downfield. 

That said had Moore started the entire season that probably looks like a much better team. The 2010 team still had Double Trouble, a speedy Mike Goodson, Smitty, David Gettis, and Lafell.

2010 would just run all over this team, and they don't have to worry about the offense. It would be the biggest 14-3 thrashing ever.

2001 was better than this team too, but it's close. I give them the nod but acknowledge that 2001 came up with very inventive ways to lose.

5 minutes ago, electro's horse said:

the fact that 2001 hasn't been mentioned yet by anyone shows this thread's age

panthers were last in offense AND defense that year

Except that team played lots of close games and didn’t feel as bad as the 2010 or 2023 teams

    • Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
    • Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was. 
    • I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
