I don't know you could end up being right but I'm beginning to wonder if this franchise is just snakebit or cursed. Much moreso than the Panthers. At least the Panthers have had success and been to two Super Bowl's. Other than the brief highs in the early years and the 90's this franchise has been dead in the water for so long it's wild. Going on 24 years without a playoff series win. And what's crazy is there are other small market teams that have done remarkably more in short timespans compared to us and with debatable differences in talent levels.

Idk if there's anything or anyone that can alter course for this franchise at this point. Just the honest truth.

I dunno. The Lions and Browns turned it around. Heck even the Kings are playing better than the Hornets. Jordan was cheap when it came to coaches and let his family and friends help run the team. If some of the rumors are true, he also had a very large say when it came to the draft after deciding he liked guys that had good runs in the NCAA tourney. That's supposedly how Zeller and Frank the Tank ended up Hornets.

Oh yeah Jordan had his hand in everything it was terrible no doubt. He was comically bad as an executive in any capacity.

Unfortunately so far these new owners look like they could somehow be a downgrade to MJ and that's saying something. Not only is the product on the court a steaming poo pile but then they can't even avoid baffling PR disasters over a few hundred dollars.

The new guys are hedge fund owners/investors, so yeah, I expect things to get worse. All they really care about is turning a profit.

So ... 1 win in the last 17 games. Everyone pretty much checked out for the rest of the season?

You know Ball is checked out, dude can't even stay on the court. What a waste of money, seems once this team pays someone, they stop caring.

Better off now tanking for Flagg 

I would totally agree if the NBA wasn’t a fuggin farce and the draft wasn’t rigged.  They will not let us get #1.  Not happening

Nice to to see Mark, Melo, and Miles all on the court together, contributing.

But then of course Miller is now out.

Honest question, have we seen a single game with the four M’s starting?

Thats a really solid lineup if they could ever all be healthy together.

Haven't watched a game in weeks and don't plan to start now. But here's some news for you guys about the over the air broadcasts.

Sadly or perhaps not sadly, the Hornets couldn't even get on main local channels. They get stuck with the much lesser known digital secondary channels.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Roger all that. Do you think BY avoided any sacks last game? This oline is not what you're touting them to be. They are much better then 2023! Much much much better than 2023. But come on now, you'd expect this expensive oline (most are run blocking specialist) to at least dominate in the run game every game.  And... I keep telling you our WRs and TEs are not that good yet. I mean last Sunday was a prime example. Our receiving targets never make plays like those. Never. And this is from one of the worst teams in the league. Shough could have easily had 3 INTs if not for his receivers making plays on the ball. Our guys just don't do that. XL almost allowed an INT backing up out of bounds instead of coming to the ball. And everyone would have blamed that on BY. That's why he doesn't throw to that dude. I can't recall a game except maybe the second Falcons game - maybe, where I thought our receivers could possibly be better than the other team's. I think TMac and Coker have a lot of potential. But they're aren't consistent. But they're young and WILL improve. I'm confident of that.  I don't agree that BY was drafted to only stand in the pocket. He has always been best off schedule - for better or worse.

      Do you think you will get a direct answer?  Icky giving up 5 pressures (playing hurt in his defense) by himself and Bryce only getting sacked once tells you he played well in the pocket.  He extended plays and converted some tough downs.

      What gets this team past this?

      By frankw · Posted

      I've been very apprehensive about potentially firing yet another head coach. But Canales needs to focus on being a head coach first and foremost and begin handing off some responsibilities like playcalling duties and begin overseeing the entire team or we need to assess all possible ideal HC candidates in the offseason.
