At this point last year, I was paying much more attention to the rest of the league because I had resigned myself to the Panthers being, shall we say, sub-par.

This year, the Panthers are still very much a sub-par team. But the difference is that I'm still glued to the team because the future of the franchise is on the field. A few players from last years draft are starting to come into their own, and the rookies this year are showing a lot of growth from April to September. As a result, I have a lot of optomism for the days ahead.

No, I don't think the Panthers are making a playoff run this year. In fact, I'm pretty sure when all is said and done we'll be fourth in the NFCS. But I have hope now, and that's more than I can say for last year's 0-3 start. Once these kids shake off the rookie woes, we'll be a threat, and you can mark my words on that.

Can't wait to see what happens next week.

P.S. - Jerry should really rethink his stance on a work stoppage next year. With a team this young, losing a year of playing time will cripple us for a decade.

Clausen will get better. we showed potential to move the ball. lots of turnovers did us in. Take away the turnovers, and we win no doubt. its discipline. But over course we get alot of we are the worst team ever, and all of the other BS, bc thats just how some people are. they can't find anything positive. and then mock you because you have optimism. I'm not going to go there. I refuse to

yeah, i'm the same way. i've given up hope that this season will have many wins but i do think that there is a lot of young potential on this team. once we get a coaching staff that is competent and in it for the long haul we should be pretty good. not crazy about the receivers, though. that is the one thing i feel the worst about.

hopefully the next coach will want to take advantage of FA and get some receiving talent in here.

You're still worried about winning?

Oh honey, no, sit down.

yeah, anyone expecting wins any time soon should really seek help. it's not about the wins this year. it's about this young team building something together. i expect there to be a lot of rough spots and mistakes. there's going to be a lot of metal errors. seeing it from what few vets we have on the team is unfortunate but thats ok

next year foxy will be gone, we'll have an early first rounder and lots of cash and an owner that usually likes to spend all his money and will once the CBA gets straight.

I agree with you.. and for the love of god, I hope we get a competent coaching staff...

it's really pathetic to watch the offensive playcalling...

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      By TD alt · Posted

      I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo.

      Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
