My interest in this team is at an all time low

I respect that feeling, OP. I'm picking a new team next year unless Rhule gets fired. There's absolutely no reason whatsoever to support this reeling pile of garbage. There's no heart, energy, intelligence, strategy or talent. 

Let me guess the Cowboys amarite?

Same Ricky, same.  And I pie'd CRA initially bc I agreed with everything except getting a new GM.  The coaching staff has to go, but I believe in Fitterer.  I'm 100% on board with this front office and scouting dept.  The coaching staff from top to bottom has to gtfoh yesterday.

Head coach has final say in roster decisions, blames GM with hardly any power. Panthers fans in a nutshell

I mean it was the QB at first not the OC when the offense clearly sucked and has been read like a book. Now defenses are doing reruns on it

I am not a fair weather fan, I will always root for this team, but I just can't invest the time or money into a franchise striving for incompetence like the Panthers seem to be. 

A heartfelt post.  I read the whole thing and agree with most of it.  I try to make a game per year but the last 2 seasons have been unobtainable for various reasons.  Hopefully I'll make one next year.  I understand the disappointment in this team when you smack down close to 400 dollars per game and they are playing as they are.  It will be hard for me to go to a game next year because of the passing of Robin.  She and I were friends and I would purchase a seat through her.  Sometimes I would sit with her at the game.  Enough of that. 

You made a great post.

The last few years I've found myself having more fun watching college football than the NFL.  For a long time I was an adherent to the notion that pro football was superior due to the higher overall skill level of the players and schematic complexity, but none of that matters if my favorite team is just a drag to watch.

I don’t see why people believe Fitterer is anything more than another bad hire by Tepper.  Tepper has been pretty consistent with everyone he has brought in.  

I just don’t get a guy that picked up Sam’s 5th year, traded away all our draft picks, etc….is the guy with the right vision to lead us.   And if you blame that all on Rhule? It still doesn’t speak much about our GM.  He watched it all happen and signed off.

Agreed. My Panthers fandom began with the drafting of Julius Peppers. The Panthers were always the local team and I had casual interest as such but it wasn't like I grew up a Panthers fan or in a Panthers household. There was just nothing more than local proximity to draw me to the team and that wasn't enough. I was just a general NFL fan who had favorite players more so than favorite teams. Then we drafted Julius Peppers and this big Tar Heel fan became a big Panthers fan overnight.

Meanwhile, the Panthers have changed ownership and become an utter trainwreck. If Rhule is retained it's not out of the question that I could get lured away to whatever Sam Howell's ultimate destination is. I would be at least as interested in following that team as I am this current iteration of the Panthers.

Just being honest. 😞

This season has been the worst roller coaster ride ever.

Started off feeling great and that lasted a few games then I plummeted into the depths of blah and felt nothing.

Then Cam came back and with it all the feels and excitement....but then the last two weeks happened and now...you know, I just don't care. 

We suck. We suck. We suck. We suck.

Wake me up when we've got a coaching staff that knows the hell what they're doing.

    • Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.
    • Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on. 
    • Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
