Recency bias will play a role in this response. Also some people aren’t even old enough to remember 2001.

Having watched all 3 teams I never went into a game in 2001 thinking we didn’t have a chance to win. That team lost a ton of close games and was better than this year’s team and 2010.

2010 and 2023 are very close for me. I’d have to give the slight edge to this year being the worst because the 2010 roster had some talent and some of those players went on to play on the good teams between 2013 and 2016-17.

From a talent standpoint, 2023 is the worst team in franchise history and would have finished 0-17 if not for two miracle drives at the end of games. Only team in league history to not hold a 4th quarter lead. Yeah, that does it for me.

2010 was the worst team. I suspect 2023 will get more votes due to recency bias.

That 2010 team had an even worse offense than this 2023 group. I fondly remember watching those games and knowing that the game was over once the other team managed to score 14 (or more). The 2010 group only broke the 20pt barrier twice and never scored 30 (or more).

Meanwhile, the 2023 group broke the 20pt barrier 4 times and managed a single 30 point game. Even with 2 shutouts to end the season they still managed more points per game than the 2010 squad.

Yep. 

2001 was a brutal season to watch, mostly because of all the close losses. Six losses by 3 points or less, and two more by 4-6 points.

anyone that says 01 or 2010 must not have actually been around for those seasons. We at least had the hope of having the first pick. The fact that all of this failure and embarrassment without something in return is enough to be the worst season ever.

don't forget about all the Tepper crap throughout the season.

don't forget that this was a brand new all star stuff, not an old staff waiting for the inevitable.

and the cherry on top, Bryce. the most disappointing first round pick in sports history. 

2023 was not only the worst season in Panthers history, but in sports history.

2023 Panthers were SHUT OUT the last 2 games of the season. We have a clueless overbearing egomaniac owner who gave us a new reason to hate something else every week. 2023 had maybe 6 or 7 players that look like they’re trying. Of those, only Hubbard, Thielen, Brown and Luvu have seemed impervious to the malaise. Maybe something changes, but this current squad is a special breed of awful.

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.
 

Really and truly, Delhomme would have run us to the Super Bowl again. He was stellar that season and had one great team around him. Then Jonathan Vilma's helmet...

I really didn't like that 2010 team, mostly because of Fox essentially shrugging his shoulders and telling us to take it up with the personnel department. You just can't be that way if you are the person in charge. The thing is, I still watched that terrible team. I actively didn't watch Panther games this season. There was nothing positive, nothing good, that would compel me to sit through an entire game.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
