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."

      I believe in bryce...

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Icege · Posted

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
