How much do the Panthers effect your overall mood

I still look forward to games. We might lose by 21 + on Thurs but I can't wait for the game. Win or lose, it is a distraction/entertainment to invest emotionally in a sport team and something you can no control over. They serve the purpose regardless for the most part.

I don't really care right now. You just gotta accept the season will be crappy and wait till the offseason for changes to come.

When we're actually good it pisses me off that I wasted 3 hours to watch a team underachieve. If we're geniunely outclassed then it doesn't bother me. Or if it's a close game against a quality opponent then it's disappointing but not enraging.

This season quit bothering me about 5-6 games ago.

great thread..

that's a 2 part question..

I have an extreme competitive streak.. I like to talk poo and I hate to lose.. so in normal years, I may need a couple hours after a loss before I get calls from my friends who might pull for the Bucs, Pats, or whoever.. They know if they call me during a loss or right after a loss, I'm about to rip them over the phone..

This year.. when it's obvious it's a down year, it hardly affects me.. there is no reason to invest my emotions in a 2-14 (I hope) year.. I feel if people are still pissed because we are losing, then they have no concept of how to separate expectations/acceptance and reality..

next year will be a similar year as this.. I doubt the playoffs will be in our future when a new system is being put in place.. if so, we are ahead of the curve. I will hate to lose, but it should be expected..

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
