Do you think the new GM signing will get this franchise beyond 2nd place?

It could be argued that this franchise is saturated in a losing culture. It always feels like we're 2 steps behind most of the other teams in the NFL, it takes years of bad decisions before somebody gets fired, many of the fans just accept losing like they do when there aren't 3 like prize amounts on their $2 scratch off, the media coverage is poor, etc. Can't help but to think if it is an extension of Carolina life in general. I mean face it besides the Wright brothers inventing flight and barbeque what exactly is that area noted for when it comes to innovation and being a leader of the country... it's like a who's who of also-rans were founded there. Pepsi-Cola (formulated after Coke, and pretty much lost the cola war), Krispy Kreme donuts (yea I don't see those every 3 blocks like I see Dunkin Donuts). Coincidentally to the Pepsi thing, the Panthers have also secured second place in the NFC South race this season, behind the Atlanta Falcons (Coca Cola was formulated in Georgia).

Since 2005, the Panthers have secured 2nd place in the South 4 times, which is half of the 8 seasons that have been played since then. To be frank, the only thing this team has been consistently good at is mediocrity. So the question is, does the braintrust of this organization have the stones to start raising the standard? Will they bring in the most qualified GM, and can he shift us into another gear? Or will this franchise continue to flounder in the most spectacular of fashions? Just give me your honest opinion. Are we on the verge of overflowing into consistent success and just need the right guy to pilot the craft or are the Panthers just fuged no matter who they hire?

(eds. note. Please disregard if we hire Beane, because that's guaranteed to have us fuged as a franchise for the next 5 years)

also, post TL/DR in response to this if you like to swallow your sister's ejaculate

We finished 1st in 2008 (which, relatively speaking, isn't THAT long ago), 2nd in 2009, 2nd this season. Of course we want to be better but lets not act like we're full of suck. We had a horrible year in 2010 and everyone knew '11 was growing pains. But I don't know how anyone can jump to a conclusion that we're suddenly not going to be able to make it past 2nd.

Because they are instant gratification, whiny ass bitches. 4 years of suck is nothing compared to what the browns go thru every single year. And then to have to watch YOUR real team that was taken from you be better then you every single year. Now that has to suck. The woe is me, we are a terrible franchise, we should just murder ourselves act is getting old. Not to mention quite annoying.

My experience of the team is limited but following this season i've been telling anybody who'll listen to me over here that I think Carolina have the team to be the best in our division. This is purely based on my experience mainly this year but I feel we're a better team than the Falcons who's final position flattered them in my opinion. We were a fumble away from beating them both games this year and i'd be confident going up against them tomorrow. Same goes for New Orleans who whilst having a bit of a strange year I think we're definitely a match for.

If we add wisely and strengthen well then there's no reason we can't win the division and if we don't go into next season believing that then it simply won't happen!

Nope.

The new GM doesn't matter when he's not being given full autonomy, which our new GM won't be given right off the bat. It basically feels like JR is cool with wasting another year because Rivera is a lame-duck coach. On top of that, the guy that comes in has to deal with an absolutely horrid cap situation. So, most fans are thinking everything is going to magically come together next season, but we're gonna lose quite a few big contributors.

      Bryce Young Is Terrible

      McMillan could've caught that TD but whatever. Chuba, the specialists and, that's about it for being absolved. Horn made a great pick. The defensive line and linebackers may as well not exist. I think Dan might've hit on a WR pick finally, but no one else was of any value, per usual.

      Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining.

      This is probably one of the only real quotables that stuck with me from my dad growing up, and now, I don’t think there’s a more fitting motto for our Carolina Panthers except they’re the ones that’s doing the pissing and telling.  They ARE pissing on our legs and saying it’s the rain. We’ve wasted two additional years in Bryce after knowing what he was from his rookie year.  No contingency plan in place.  But, plenty of fake hype about a few lightning fast glimmers of hope in contrast to the consistent, large sample size of work that he had showing he was not an NFL starting QB.  Look at the defense - where guys like Morgan, instead of addressing a position of weakness, spends the offseason telling us how great Trevin Wallace is.  How much trust they have in a guy like Cherelus(sp?).  How much they’re counting on young edge rushers Princely and Scourton…  then we get into a meaningful game and Wallace is abhorrent.  Horrible.  Disgustingly bad.  Rozeboom looks horrible.  Constantly missing tackles and out of position.  The rookie edge rushers?  I don’t even know if they played today.  And we still generate zero pressure for most of the game.     All this organization does now is LIE.  To us, to themselves. All they do is shill.  It’s a con job.  They know their product is poo, but listen to how great it is.  Believe us!
