Is this the worst team in franchise history?

[Davidson Deac II]

This is just about as much fun. Only difference is we are wasting talent this year.

 

We're not that talented.

 

We have it in a few spots (linebacker for example), but overall not so much.  Receiving corps doesn't scare anyone, running backs are aging, secondary is up and down and some of our best defensive linemen are missing.

It's not the worst team in franchise history but given the pieces in place and the expectations this team had it is by far the most disappointing.

[cardiackat88.]

They have certainly been the most disappointing and a close tie for most painful to watch with 2010.

[Proudiddy]

worst roster? not at all.

worst coached? yes.

most disappointing? definitely.

This concisely.

[CollegePanther]

Remember 2010. Always Remember.

I feel like perhaps I have a brain tumor each week I watch this team.

Watching this team is the equivalent of watching your friend get raped and tortured but when you ask them about it, they tell you they have never felt or been better.

I am just really afraid we have ruined Cam already....doesn't help that he seems to be a mental midget on the field and can't handle adversity.

I love the Panthers but at least in 2010, we knew we were going to have a top 2 pick, new coach, etc. Now we just hope that the people who are "coaching" are held accountable.

Smdh.

I'd argue that the 2006 team was more disappointing, and possibly 2004 before Smitty got hurt. We all knew last year was fluky and some regression was bound to happen, but the 04 and 06 teams had solid foundations and underachieved.

Granted, this team is awful, but no one in their right mind should have expected similar success after watching last year and this past off season. I do think it reasonable to expect them to at least be competitive, but the talent is clearly not there across the roster and the coaching sure isn't either.

I think Mr.Scott broke it down best, most teams are not loaded but there system compensates. We have a system that henders talent.

The 2010 team was the worst in NFL history I  believe. Clausen could have 10 seconds to throw and would still check down or throw it away. 

[PantherBoy95]

I'm not really sure. 2010 was horrid, I remember we could barely even pick up first downs. ZERO exciting plays EVER.  However I don't remember us getting blown out very often. (it may have happened luckily my brain has blocked it.)

 

This year we had a lot of potential, and we seem to be losing by 20 at the half each game.  The sad thing is....I'm barely exaggerating if even.

[AceBoogie]

you forget about 2010?

This team reminds me a lot of 2010.

This is just supposition, right?  If I recall, the OL that year was so bad that we went entire quarters where the QB didn't have 10 seconds to throw combined.

 

This team may not be the worst in team history, but it's a contender.  

 

The performance of the coaching staff is as bad as I remember (don't forget the way we gave up at Cincinnati and Atlanta).

 

I'm not sure if a GM has had an off-season with this many decisions that turned out wrong, although when Capers was allowed to play GM he was certainly worse.

[Zaximus]

Worst season yes. Too much talent to be this bad with no heart and painful coaching. And obvious lame duck owner even more obvious is sad.

you forget about 2010?

Ill take 2010 all day everyday over this pile of garbage. I just can't get over this pathetic coaching staff
