Well it didn’t take long for me to work my way down the list and find one 

Lamar 2019

Lol. I mean....I suppose that was predictable.

It will be interesting to see that HC job filled and if Lamar is able to get that "choker" label off. If not....the Ravens are going to look very foolish in hindsight.

On the Bill Simmons pod, the 5 worst teams to make the playoffs by EPA in the last 30 years all won their first playoff game. 7-9 Seahawks, 8-8 St. Louis Rams, The Golden Calf of Bristol Broncos are all examples.

2025-26 Panthers would be in this group. 

Also, "Beware the dome QB on the road in bad conditions" is in play here, also "Beware the team that nobody believes in". dome QB on the road in bad conditions lose more than win, and team that nobody believes in wins more than loses. 

However at the end of the day its MVP Matt Stafford vs. Bryce Young, and history doesn't bode well for this type of matchup. Bryce is REALLY going to have to prove himself today. His career is on the line. Like - if he balls out and wins, he'll probably get that 100M+ extension. If he flounders, that money is gone. So it's up to him

Rams 20 Panthers 16

Rain is less of a factor than expected. Panthers struggle to move the ball. Stafford turns the ball over 3x, Panthers can only kick field goals. Panthers lead 16-13 late in the 4th, defense breaks and gives up the game winning touchdown with less than a minute left. Ballgame. 

It hurt reading this because it’s so on point

If we do manage to eek out a win I have to imagine it would be in large part due to the moving parts around him and the Rams making multiple critical mistakes.

And saddling ourselves to a $100+ million contract extension for a QB who has started all three of his seasons so far playing poorly at best is an enormous risk that could put us squarely in purgatory. And just for a point of reference. Rival fans who have also watched Bryce Young play quarterback would be thrilled for us to be locked into a long term extension. That is not a glowing endorsement.

I didn't say it was, but if he balls out and wins, he's probably getting it.

Yeah trust me I'm preparing for the inevitability. I am under no illusions about Dan Morgan's loyalty and commitment to Bryce Young and salvaging the resources to select him unlike some who for some reason think he has been lying and secretly hates Bryce Young or something. Some folks can't grasp a reality where Morgan is a firm Bryce believer.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
