Never been this bad. Even the Seifert experiment brought hope & his firing brought hope. The Gettlemagic destruction of the team over 3 years of it's highest potential was a big low, but Tepper ownership has been a massive bottoming out to NFL historic lows. Now, all I can do is enjoy building my draft lists & watching the players I projected as NFL championship success stories turn out to be among the best in the NFL. Just waiting out the storm & any sign that the Panthers are back on the championship path.

The Teppers don't want an HC who has any control (including staff, roster & benching players). Any wish for an actual HC is futile. They want a roster whisperer to breathe life into what they have already built. The HC who agrees to manage the team, adopt Appaloosa culture & keeps Young, Hubbard, Mingo, Tremble & Ekwonu in place as starters gets a $50m guaranteed contract (no benching or position changes allowed). There is no championship end to this madness. The hope is Tepper is 100% right with his team building strategy & revolutionizes the game where AI runs the team. No one outside the owner has control of the team.

Finding an offensive minded head coach to fit Young, Fitt/Morgan, the Teppers, Evero & Tabor? That's not how championship teams are built. That's how to build dysfunction & a losing culture. Tepper wants an OC to call an HC. This team is being built around the Teppers & there is no getting around that. May as well not have a HC at this point. Have an OC, DC & ST coach who report directly to Tepper & share HC responsibilities. The HC title is just being used as a franchise tag to keep 1 coach from being hired away if they're successful.

Thomas Brown looks worse than Reich

The Panthers have had the opportunity to win in several 4Qs this season. Young can't lead a clutch drive & the defense can't create clutch turnovers/plays to end the game

But Young is Tepper's point guard. He can distribute when 1 yard is needed.

Yes. He has to get to the locker room with Nicole to talk to the team.

Tepper wants Young to be the star though. Use the running game to give Young a lay up & watch him miss. It's not about wins or Dalton would be in the game.

Bryce with another GWD opportunity

Todd Bowles doesn't even look worried

They had to say that or Tepper would sue

Evero defense holding up as expected in the 4th quarter during a close game

The team wanted Ekwonu at 6 for LT. Some of us wanted Garrett Wilson to pair with DJ Moore & knew Ekwonu was a guard who couldn't pass block. That's what happened.

Good job Ekwonu. Just escort the rusher inside to the QB

Mayfield owned Evero last year. It's no surprise the Bucs are saving it when they need the lead back. He hit that same play with the Rams against Evero's Broncos for 2 big TDs last season

I would have never thought the Bics were slow playing the Panthers to run clock all game with lead only to open up the offense to get the lead back in 1 play

Glad we gave away the franchise for a QB who.can hand the ball.off.im the red zone. They're hard to find

Another red zone for Bryce. Has to be a TD right?

If I got what I wanted since the 2021 offseason, the Panthers would have CMC, Ameer Abdullah, D'Onta Foreman, Garrett Wilson, DJ Moore, Adam Thielen, Michael Wilson & Jelani Woods. QBs competing for starter in Purdy, Ridder, Glass & Coan. Wanted a 35 defense with Jalen Carter next to Brown with the 9th pick. Micah Parsons, Brian Burns & James Houston rushing the passer. Shaq & Chinn manning the middle. What do I know? Nicole Tepper is much better at this. So, we get this mess & no direction for the future. Thanks Nicole!

Have the Panthers scored a TD yet?

Frank, Duce & McCown wanted to bench Bryce & let him learn from Dalton. Frank was right. Tepper didn't want to see his pet project on the sideline. Tepper is okay with losing to watch Bryce look bad.

Bucs are already running the clock lol Guess they don't think Young can get the lead or maintain it.

Ekwonu & Bryce looking good on that last messed up play

Young in the red zone. Another FG. Not surprised

I wouldn't consider being last defensively in key categories the offense has no impact on to be great. Evero is fools gold
