It's gotta be 2010, but 2023 is close.  

This year's defense would have shut them out handedly and been a solid 6-0 affair if they played.  2001 had the best offense of the three and that was a different era almost.  Hard to really compare IMO.   

2023 was the most disappointing and biggest trainwreck season in our history, but 2010 is the worst team.  Although, I look top down rosters, and maybe it was 2023? I dunno haha

2023 is the worst.  Worst talent. 

then 

2010

then 

2001

I'd put money on both of those teams beating the 2023 squad.  2001 was the most competitive despite the record.  2010 was the best actual roster of the 3.  Way more than this squad.    Fox was a dead man walking and didn't give a rip.  I think he enjoyed having Clausen implode it all.  You can't tell me with that OL and RBs.....they couldn't of lined up ran at the 2023 and beat them fairly easily if the coach wanted to.  Hubbard would have been battling Mike Goodson for 3rd on the depth chart on that squad and it probably would have been a battle.  Depth on that OL would have started for the 2023 squad too.

Icing on the cake is 2010 and 2001 were the end of eras/regimes.  Being bad made sense.  You could stomach that.  2023 was supposed to be the start of something good.  You weren't supposed to be that bad.  Designed to be a window of hope not the end of something.

2023 is easily worse than 2010.  2010 Panthers was an okay team with a terrible rookie QB.  2023 Panthers was a terrible team with a terrible rookie QB.

I mean look at the 2010 Panthers offensive line alone.  Gross, Wharton, Kalil, Schwartz, hell even Garry Williams was actually good that year IIRC.  

2007-2013 era Panthers is such a wasted period of crazy talent.  We had soooo many good players.  Then Delhomme's elbow exploded.  2011 and 2012 had so many soul-crushing losses.  2013 team got unlucky running into the 49ers in the playoffs.  By 2014 our secondary was awful and the OL looked to be in shambles with Gross retired, plus no Steve Smith.  That team had no business in the playoffs.

I sat through each of them and it's a progression of bad to worse to worst in chronological order. 2001 was competitive and we were still trying to get to parity with other NFL teams and shaking off our expansion tag. 2010 was a lameduck season with a coach being made to finish out his contract. 

This year, this year was a special kind of suck. A combination of poor coaching, years of bad team building, over-reach in drafting, poor drafting for three years and a spate of injuries. Woof. That was a dog of a season.

2023 has been the worst so far of the bunch. We can only hope that 2024 doesn't set a new mark for futility and frustration.

Remember, this has been Tepper  trying to fix the team for three tries so far...

the worst officiated game I can recall outside the 2015 Super Bowl.  We straight up looked to be the better team vs 49ers in the first half yet trailed by 3.  You knew the game was over at that point.

Only going 2001 because in my opinion that was lead by the worst QB to ever don a Panthers uniform. My hatred for Weinke is only matched by my hatred for meatball Marty. Tepp and his handpicked QB are working on it, but at least Bryce isn't a guaranteed fumble lost every game like the 38 yr old that should've went undrafted we put out there to suck it up. As an overall team effort the 2023 would get curb stomped by the other ones easily. Worst on every phase of the game.

That 2008 team could have been a legit title contender if Jake's arm held out a month longer. He had been clutch all season, the running game was the best we ever had, Steve and Moose were as dynamic as ever.

2014 was entirely Gettleman being a complete moron and nuking a position (offensive line) for no reason

Back when Kap was a league golden boy.

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
