Voice your frustrations here in this one thread. It's been the worst year in Panther history even surpassing the 1-15 year. At least that team was in games. This is the first year when the Panthers play a game I know they are going to lose before they even step on the field.

Last in media power rankings - can't remember the last time that happened. Worst offense (and could be the worst in NFL history if the trend continues), lame duck coach, cheap owner, bust draft picks left and right, no veteran leadership, injuries piling up, underperforming (former) star players, no QB...what the hell else could we ask for?!?

Oh wait, a defense that performs well for awhile only to finally break the past couple weeks. Could only be expected after spending so much time on the field. The bright spots are as hard to see as a smoggy night in London during the industrial revolution. Sound off.

If there's football in 2011. Just KEEPS getting better.

I hope we can at least have some sort of scab league. I don't really know what the true ramifications of next year will be if a new CBA isn't reached. Whats worse is that if there is no football in '11 then this crap is the last panther football for almost 2 years.

Those have to be "general admission" seats... those that they sell to the public without PSLs. Some PSL tickets are well over the $97 rate shown in that table. Not sure how that skews the comparison, as some teams do not use PSLs, though they do sell season tickets for the same seats year-by-year.

The Panthers sad state of affairs has taken my passion for NFL football with it. I don't care to watch any game now. Seeing the success of other teams pisses me off, as I feel it should be us, but also know the reality. I just don't see any quick fixes, so I'm not optimistic that flipping a switch somewhere will make this offense work. I know it worked two years ago, but with Jake we were always hanging by a thread, and when that thread broke, we see how bad it really was.

This will make for a painfully long off-season, but it will be welcome when a bullet is mercifully put into the head of the 2010 season.

As the old saying goes: "Hope springs eternal, but the Panthers suck balls."

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
