i lived in colorado in 2001... i was a broncos fan back then, so i didn't really follow the abysmal season.

but i have to say, having my heart ripped from my chest every sunday at yet another close loss probably would be much worse than watching these performances with zero expections and just laughing at the absurdity of it all.

This season is much worse... at least it was interesting watching/reading about the 2001 team invent/inventing ways to lose. This year is always the same - decent defense on the field for 45 minutes a game, junior high offense, although I will say that Goodson has been fun to watch the last 2 weeks.

I said in a similar thread a couple weeks back that this is the lowest point in Panthers Fan history, yet I still had some argue against it. By saying the lowest point, I mean the season as a whole.

This season is BY FAR THE WORST. At least in 2001 we were actually in games and had a chance to win until the end. We lost several games in the 4th quarter that year, a lot in the last minute or last drive of the game IIRC. I'll never forget Ricky Williams last second run for a TD to win a game that year, which I believe was at home.

2001's team was competitive and we had some players that had potential at the time - Smitty and Weinke come to mind. And that offense was capable of moving the ball and scoring despite the lack of overall talent compared to this team.

I mentioned in that last thread that what makes this team so hard to watch is that we basically know the game is over before it even starts because we can't move the ball or score. Whereas 2001, we were able to watch with hope of a win each week because that team was capable of scoring and were in most every game til the end.

This team is disgusting. Point blank. I've never seen a team cause so many key turnovers and do absolutely NOTHING with them. I keep telling myself, despite my eternal Panther fandom, that I won't watch the next week... Yet, I keep finding myself tuning in only to doze off repeatedly with no hope of winning or seeing positive change.

    • No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.
    • Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
