I'm 43.... I've lived half my life if I am lucky... will we ever have another team that we will fall in love with?!?

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

Those Fox/Rivera teams had personality, even if they got poo on and made us mad, we still loved watching them.

This team isn't very fun to watch. Even the close games like the Packers game was like, whatever. They have the energy of a dad doing taxes. The only player I actually really like is Rico and he'll be gone next year.

Bryce has good days in the frequency that Jake had bad days. You always used to wait around and wonder when Delhomme when was going to have that ass game and then he’d be good a while.

Now Bryce has only ass games and we wait for that one good one every now and then.

Bryce and this game winning drive nonsense. Give me Jake over Bryce for a 2 minute drill any fuging day

There's a lot if good pieces to love in this team. The last 6 or so years of garbage have kinda blurred in my mind and is clumped together. We need a leader of men type player and I wonder if Tepper will ever allow that type to be signed.

David Tepper is 68 years old. If you outlive him and we get a not Michael Jordan caliber owner again, you could see successful football.

Pre-Tommy Jone Delhomme wasn’t Peyton Manning but he had so much of what you want in a QB, especially given tier he occupied.   He had contagious energy, passion, grit and odd playmaking ability.  

given being a “nice guy” doesn’t really check a box (Jake was that but it’s not really a thing you look for on the field)….Bryce really only has negatives.

And then we actually did the smart thing and traded for Baker and still botched it.

I have tried to like this team, lord knows I have tried. BY9 is a nice young man, if I had a daughter he can take her to prom, but he ain't QB1 and he's not Cam or Delhomme

Chuba is a average RB, he isn't Stephen Davis, he isn't J-Stew

McMillan has the makings of a good WR, but he isn't 89/Moose

D. Brown is a great player, but if the game was on the line I want Kris Jenkins

 

 

 

I miss this brand of football, even in the bad Jake games the games were entertaining

It has been nearly 8 years now of watching numb football

It’s generational. When you’re younger than the players you look up to them. When they’re your age you root for them as peers (in age at least) now almost all the players are younger than me and I look at them like kids. I don’t think I’ll ever have the same passion for the team I did years ago, but there’s different reasons for that. But the losing and blatant ineptitude doesn’t help at all.

Baker did not want to be a Panther it was obvious from day 1

He immediately was in some weird and bogus QB competition and was never really given the team going into the season.   And we know from Teddy to Cam......vet QBs spoke about how Matt Rhule wasn't running a legit NFL program while employed. 

I don't think Baker was the issue.

 Not saying he was the issue but it was never going to work with who was in charge of the Panthers at the time. The Scott Fitterer / Matt Rhule combo did irreparable damage to this franchise that might never be repaired

Part of me says a good QB would flip things dramatically and a part of me thinks the NFLs best days are behind them already. Since 2020 there has been a noticeable decline in overall quality. The school level is fugged and isn't producing talent the way it was or needs too. There seems to be more to it but I don't know why. The pay goes up and the rules protect more but the quality looks worse every year. 

I don't know if Tepper will allow it and if he does how ling before he fuggs that up too?

They made him look worse than Sam. Wilks had him on the scout team as a DE lol

Panthers families going  to be debating Bryce this Thanksgiving..

Hard agree with the quality of product.
