The Carolina Panthers aren't ass!

[Mr. Scot]

Thus sayeth Pat McAfee while interviewing Luke Kuechly... 

One note here: The Twitter caption talks about Kuechly praising Dan Morgan and David Tepper, but when Luke mentions "Dan and Dave" I believe he's actually talking about Morgan and Canales.

I'm going primarily by context, but I also kinda doubt Luke would refer to Tepper as "Dave".

I think just the sheer fact they aren’t running a college scheme like they did from 2020-2022 is a big improvement

Unfortunately the progression under Tepper has been:

1. Tearing Down NFL Franchise 

2. Establishing College Program in the NFL

3. Descending to National Laughingstock 

4. Establishing the Structure of an NFL Franchise

5. Improvement to Bad NFL Franchise

Unfortunately under Tepper we've been exactly that. This is year 8 of whatever the fug this is. Maybe it gets better. Maybe it gets worse. It's hard to even remember what mediocrity felt like anymore.

If we could have just skipped numbers 2-4 it would have been a normal cycle of an NFL team at the end of an era. Firing Rivera when he did was not a bad decision, everything after that was unimaginably awful.

Not ass.  Correct. 

Not good though. 

 and it still looks doubtful we even can pull off a winning season.  I mean, its going to be wild if this season finishes with the same record as Matt Rhule's final season and we start victory lapping it hard.

We could improve greatly next year and still be in that .500 territory but we aren’t ass anymore and it feels great. I hope we can upgrade to average and good by 2027.

We have been on the right side of one score games.  But like minny a few years ago and KC, we know that isnt sustainable and we probably will revert back to the nfl mean.  Which could mean a poo season incoming if this offense doesnt figure poo out

Yeah and truthfully I’ll be ok with that as long as the talent and culture is building.

If we fall back to the 50% mean this year we obviously are looking at a 5-9 team.
