Is there anyone that still cares about this season?

Just trying to get a handle on who is NOT apathetic at this point. Is there anyone left?

Nobody on the team cares, the owner doesn't care, the coaching staff doesn't care, no sense in caring about young players developing because the new coach will ship half of them out anyway and will have a new offense and defense for them to learn....what's the point of caring about the rest of the season?

I fell asleep during today's game for the first time since the Panthers had their asses handed to them late in 1998 by the Jets. The Panthers were bad, they were boring, and I saw no reason to care about what happened once Moore took the snap. Was I alone?

Serious question then Mr. Scot: WHY? If the people that get paid to care don't care, if even the owner doesn't care, then why would someone that doesn't get paid a dime care about how a team performs where half the players will be jettisoned in the offseason? Why should we care? Because of that Panthers logo?

Don't know if I really care but I've watched every game so far, and will probably watch the rest of them. To be honest I expected the Panthers to be bad this year. I saw what was going on in the offseason (letting Peppers go, not signing a good 2nd receiver, etc.) with the general youth movement and knew this would be a tough year. I think I predicted about 3 or 4 wins. We may not even get that. It's years like this that make the good years that much better.

I'd rather be us than the Cowboys though. With all the hype they had in the preseason their fans must be going apeshit.

Hell yeah I still care. My philosophy always has been and always will be...don't give up until you're mathematically eliminated.

Besides, there's always a chance that Jeff Davidson will grow a brain and learn to call the offense. And don't tell me that Fox is calling these plays, because he's not. There is not a chance in hell that Fox would call a flea flicker on the first play of the game.

Okay, so once we pick up loss #9 in a few weeks and we clinch a losing record, do you stop caring at that point?

To say the coaches dont care is crazy..

Most of these guy will be looking for a new job so they want to win.They are just not good at there job.

Let's say you're John Fox. You don't speak to the owner. You're handed a team that you have no say in creating that completely sucks. You know you're moving your family to another city in a few months no matter what happens.

Why would you be concerned about coaching well? John Fox could prepare his ass off and coach like no one has coached before and this team isn't making the playoffs. So what's the point?

Because I'm a fan, and it's what fans do.

(that, plus the notion that the owner and the players don't care is just silly)

The players do care (but will care less as the season goes on if we continue with just 1 win, Brentson Buckner has talked about this), but it's silly to believe Richardson DOES care. He has shown not one iota of caring towards this season. I can't think of one thing he has done that points to caring.

And blind fandom sounds all hardcore, but honestly, does it make any sense to care? Your argument for caring is basically: Because I do. Well, alrighty then. Jerry Richardson counts his billions of dollars off sheep and suckers like you. The team and ownership literally don't have to lift a finger towards winning this season and they're still not going to lose someone like you.

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
