Veterans of 2001

[Mr. Scot]

For those who have been fans long enough to have seen both the 2001 season and this one...

Which one would you consider more painful to watch?

[Awesomeness!!]

There was no fantasy football in 2001 (or at least it wasn't as popular as it is now) so 2001 was by far worse to watch, because there was no point after a while.

If I can recall, at least the 01 Panthers cold score. By default, this team is very, very hard to watch.

[Carl Spackler]

I'd rather have hope down 20-13 and lose 37-13 then be up 21-0, and watch the team just collapse. And give up last-second touchdowns in several games. I'll take 2010 over 2001. But there isn't much difference...Gettis and Smith, Connor and Morgan, Hardy and Jenkins (both DL)

[KillerKat]

The '01 team would wipe the floor with this one.

[Kevin Greene]

2001, there are quite a few good pieces on this roster so there's hope. '01 is done.

Both years had one thing in common. Abysmal QB play but some talent on defense.

The 01 team just couldn't win. A lot of those games were close. If I'm not mistaken we went to like 3 OT games?

This team just sucks.

In '01, I was hoping for the next win. This season I'm hoping for the next season.

This team just sucks.

And loss 8 games by 6 points or less.

2001.

[Dorian Gray]

I'd figure most posters on this board would have been fans in 2001, considering the Panthers aren't exactly a bandwagon that most fans jump on.

Even though 2001 was a lot more painful because of the close losses, I still felt like we could win the games and watched them hoping for the victory. This year, I feel like we're easily the worst team in the league, we're not competitive, and I'm wondering how many touchdowns we'll end up losing by.

So give me 2001.

[Mr. Scot]

I'm torn, honestly.

At this point, it's really not even a question... which is sad.... this 2010 version is THE WORST in franchise history and will go down as one of the worst in the history of the NFL...

I can't believe we're even talking about a Panthers team possibly being worse than the '01 Panthers... fuuuuuck ... and I was at that final game against the Patriots (who ended up winning the SB) it was the worst game ever... sitting in the upper deck in the rain watching my favorite team losing its NFL record tying (thank you Lions), 15th straight game, 6-38 ...it was horrible.

You're going to be in for a shock if we hire a competent HC.

This is EASILY a .500 team with good coaching.
