Hej, hallo, nice to reconvene. 

  • It's going down. We are done.  We are meaningless. 
  • Canales will show promise as a coach but we'll be like 5-12. 
  • Our QB is not, and will not be a viable NFL QB - this season will be the second and last we get from the strawberry.   The scruffy ginger man wins us at least two of those games.  
  • Evero gets the D together.  Trevin Wallace will surprise, the defense will perform well with Brown/Robinson/Clowney/Jewell
  • Jonathan Brooks and Sanders will both come along by midseason and be a reason we land some promising wins and look aight on offense 

That's all I've got.  See, even my humor is lost.  We are lost.  Lost wandering souls in the forest of football doom.

Doom.

Gloom. 

Misery.

Suffering.

You will not enjoy watching this team. 

Do not draft anyone but Johnson in your redraft fantasy leagues.

 

But I like it.  

Johnson is going to have 150 catches for 750 yards and 2 tds

There are many examples, because you're skipping over a lot of seasons (and a few winning ones).

But the most notable for me was Luke picking off Russell Wilson and returning it for a touchdown in the 2015 NFC Divisional Playoff against the Seahawks. The stadium was shaking, it was so loud and active.

Oh no, I just meant recently (last 5 or so years). Of course there were plenty of better plays in the Cam Era. The week 6 game winner against Seattle that year was one of my favorite Panther moments ever. Cam diving over the pile in the NFCCG. The somersault TD against Houston. The back to back INTs by Luke against Dallas. Ah man, 2015 truly felt like a dream. Till the ending of course. But every season from 2011 to 2018 had it's share of great moments.

That Luke pick on the Thanksgiving Dallas game in ’15? 

Stands out to me. I have a lot of images of Cam playing in my head but no specific stuff, just him looking like a stud running or throwing. Leaping over the line, slowly getting going with that long stride but once he hit it, a load.

The pick 6 was great of course. But maybe my favorite part of that sequence was after he scored. It went to commercial break then the first play back Luke got another pick immediately. That game felt great after being billed as underdogs to a 3-7 team because of the hype over Romo coming back.

I am getting old man’s memory I guess., I watched that game during the 2023 season. Not long ago. Forgot all about that.

But I do remember the media talking up Romo’s return and the Cowboys being a super tough matchup and I don’t think we were favored, despite that it was almost December and we had zero losses. 

but it was hot knife through butter time

Don’t forget TD ending Romo’s career with that sack.

I predict this is Bryce's last year as a Panthers QB. And the first six games of the season are his last as a starting QB. He's destined to be a backup somewhere. Even if he had the game to overcome his staggering lack of physical tools, his lack of ability to rally the locker room is the last nail in the coffin.

New coach, no commitment to the smurf. And we have a first again this year, that I honestly think could be another #1 overall pick. So it's basically a complete reset of where we were before 2023 draft.

But here's the really uncomfortable prediction:

We're stuck in the rebuilding basement for the foreseeable future. And we will remain there until we hit on a QB in the draft.

We're going to see rotating casts of mediocre players, coaches, schemes and systems and we're going to remain a low to low-middlin' team. Our savior will not come in the form of a journeyman QB. And this franchise will not attract a bona fide star. But our destinies will radically change when we pick the right QB. It happened with Cam and SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED WITH STROUD! JESUS TAP-DANCING CHRIST WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!

And here is the other prediction. That will not happen if it does not happen organically. i.e. DON'T MORTGAGE YOUR ENTIRE GODDAM FUTURE TO MOVE UP TO #1!

So get cozy in basement. We're here for a while. The only question is what happens first? We get lucky on our QB of the future, or Tepper decides to re-locate his failing venture to an NFL hungry city.

You just nailed it.  All of it.  My thinking to a T

OP I see you and I feel what you're saying.

It's funny I spent the better years of Panthers fandom when I was younger getting hammered and thoroughly enjoying the highs and even the lows. But the highs were damn good because we had a core of cornerstone franchise players on both sides of the ball to uplift the fanbase. I guess we took those days for granted. You don't know what you have until it's gone.

Now for almost 4 years through this new iteration of the franchise I've managed to navigate through it sober. It's been... interesting.

Good luck to you all this season.

Just now I was watching that fluky 88 yard touchdown from St Pierre to Gettis against Baltimore in the 2010 game. Honestly can't remember the last time a play that exciting has happened here. I guess maybe the Cam return but I think we all knew deep inside that it wasn't going to last. That it was just a fleeting feeling. But that TD... the crowd sounded so lively compared to it's (rightfully) nonexistent state today. It was a hell of a play. 

Then something dawned on me. Good god. I'm feeling nostalgic for 2010. When that realization hit... all I could think to myself was "damn."

Bro, you don't remember the touchdown to clinch the NFCS Championship in 2013? The Patriots game on MNF in 2015? 

The Seattle playoff game in Charlotte?

1-16

They are a notch or 2 better than last year's awful team. They are better than 1 win, but I don't think the record is going to reflect any of that. You look at the schedule and there are not too many opportunities for a win. We are, however, the pushover on the schedule for 14 other teams. At some point in the season it will be more beneficial, and easier, to just lose instead.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
