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.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
