Winter is Coming.

[JawnyBlaze]

 This team is in better shape than at the end of the ‘10 season. We get a good coach and QB in the off-season, we’re on our way.

Bold take lol

That's not the take.

I’m not talking about likelihood. I literally said in my post it was easier said than done. What am saying is that you’re underestimating the impact of 1) a nfl level head coach (not college wannabe) and 2) a good qb. If by some miracle we hit on one or even both of these this off-season the team will be dramatically improved. 
 

Frankly, not even sure what this topic is. “Woe is me the panthers are cursed.” You sound moronic. Go carry madam zeroni up a mountain then if we’re so cursed 

Respectfully, I'm not underestimating the impact of either.  I know what they can do and what they mean...  what I'm doing is accurately projecting our owners ability to locate either of those people.

Edit:  also, just saw your last paragraph upon rereading your post and I take back the respectfully.

No, but you did state there is no QB that will come in and help us because no matter who we pick, it will be the wrong guy. Which is a pretty silly and emotionally charged take.

No one saw Mahommes and Allen turning into what they are. We are due for a break to go our way with QB. With an average offense, this team would be very competitive.

Hell, the NFL thought Cam would fail and so did half this place. It will be ok and we know the first pick will be this year.

The ESPN networks had some entertaining ladies volleyball on all afternoon. Those games were miles better than what little I saw of the Panthers.

It sucks we wait so long for the season to start and then 5 weeks in it can't be over soon enough.

Actually, its already crept in quietly and kicked its feet up. 

I think I may find some new hobbies.  I just had a moment of clarity watching this game today...  this isnt stopping with Rhule.  He just jumpstarted the era we are now fully in.  It won't matter the coach.  It won't matter the QB.  It won't matter what other players we have...  Winter is here.  And the winter is called Tepper.

There was only one Cam Newton.  There won't be another.  No one is stepping through that door to help us.  Not Stroud.  Not Young.  Not Hooker.  No one.  There is no "next Cam," or "franchise QB" that we're gonna pick to turn it around.  Why?  Because whoever we pick will be the wrong guy.  That I'm certain of.  Remember the days of the Browns and Lions being the league laughingstocks?  We are now that.  And we will be for the entire foreseeable future.  There is no light at the end of the tunnel for this franchise...  the league has been trying to tell us ehat they think of us since Superbowl 50.  He'll, even going back to Superbowl 38, where they covered up the Pats cheating beforehand by destroying evidence.  Think back to Superbowl 50 snd all that horrible officiating.  Think back to them letting Cam get beaten like no other QB has before or since that entire year in 2016.  And think of how they have treated us since...  we finally succumbed to their pressure.  They awarded their boy Tepper a franchise, but he has to pay his penance and allow us to be the league's patsy for advancing their storylines and agendas, as they always have.  And Tepper is more than willing to cooperate.  Hell, he's doing a better job than even they expected at sabotaging our success.

Buckle in ladies and gentlemen....  it's going to be a long, dark, dreary ride.

Even for me this is some stan hyperbole. I get the NFL let alone the Panthers didn’t exist before Cam but relax, believe it or not the Panthers made it to the SB before without him as did many teams. 

Watching the NFL in general, over a longer period of time, will tend to give a little more grand view of the sport.

Jesus yes it's a bad season but this is down right dumb. Before Cam and Rivera came we were all in on Andrew Luck and he snubbed us. Look how that turned out. We are not in the Dark we are in need of good leadership and a good QB. Both those realities are possible next year.

Yep.  We have a solid young OL to drop a rookie QB behind plus a young core on defense with Brown, Burns, Horn, and Chinn.  It's really not the worse place to be in.  Replace McAdoo with a coach that knows how to call an offense and replace our terrible QBs with a talented young signal caller and we could be competitive pretty quickly.

I still believe we’re a pretty good team with a real QB, HC and OC

[Panthercougar68]

These are the records of the two teams that played tonight that everyone was gushing over before their Coach and QB was figured out. Life in the NFL be like that. 

[Move the Panthers to Raleigh]

Give me a fuging break, man. This is the price that needs to be paid to start a new era. Could Tepper whiff on a HC again? Yes, but it's not a guarantee. Right now he is 0-1 in hiring. You act like he is Matt Millen or something. And this is coming from a guy who hates Tepper.

You could normally count on this team being competitive even in losing seasons but we can’t get out of our own way now. 
 

It’s going to take a HC with an NFL IQ and a guy who doesn’t just want to be buddies with his players.
