One colossal, collective fantrum...

[Mr. Scot]

...is being thrown by the Panthers fanbase right now.

The main events so far this offseason:

- Owner puts out an embarrassing press conference

- Team loses (or gives away) any shot at Harbaugh

- Luck decides to stay in school

All we need now is for the announcement to come down that the Panthers have hired Greg Manusky :eek:

If that happens, Zod may as well just shoot whatever hamsters have survived the current meltdown and just give up.

Kasay retires, Smith gets traded, Dwill doesn't get resigned, Mike Mccoy becomes OC. Apocalypse Inc.

[PantherBrew]

I dont know what the Panthers are going to do to excite the fanbase.

This is an all-time low.

And now, since Luck didn't declare, I don't see the light at the end of the tunnel.

our only coaching candidates are entirely underwhelming, too... =(

[Mr. Scot]

At this point, a lot of fans are probably hoping for the lockout.

And to be brutally honest, after sitting through this season, and then watching the way the offseason has started out, a year without football doesn't sound so bad to me right now

[mav1234]

let's get excited about... uh, Mallett. Let's do it. Come on. He at least has the arm to make all the throws! Woo yeah. Mallett yay.

[Sam Mills Fan]

This franchise is now dead. Dead team, dead front office (this is almost literal going off the mental decline of our owner), dead fan base.

Not sure I can put up with another year of this. This is the lowest I've ever felt as a fan of any team.

What are the exact drafting procedures for a draft after a lockout year? I've found so many conflicting claims on what happens. Do you know Mr. Scot?

CBA mandates there is a draft before the expiring date. Thus, why we will have a 2011 Draft. However, the 2012 Draft is not clear.

Raging Bull got there before I did.. How long have we been in this "offseason"? Wow..

Er'rybody had their hearts set on this guy and we never really had him. I get he's the 'next big thing' but how are we all disappointed over something that was never ours in the first place? Its beyond our control, hurry up and wait to see whats next...

[rayzor]

2012 draft will be a lottery.

with our lack of lack we'll get the #32 pick at this rate.

Yeah right, we probably won't have a pick in 2012 because we would have traded it away for something stupid.

I never post on here. more of a lurker. But IMO allot of people are overreacting a bit. You dont pay an unproven NFL coach that much money making him the highest paid coach and you dont give him that much control, its just dumb.

And yes it sucks that luck is going to stay in school, but that was totally out of the panthers control. And IMO those who think hes staying because he doesnt want to come here are very wrong. If luck was as smart as everyone says he is, then he would have done his research and saw that none of the teams with top 5 picks this year are any wore than us, and we have just as much talent, maybe more than any of those teams

Im very disapointed, but with the right coach i see this teams future being very bright with or without luck
