Mark “Buttfumble” Sanchéz (still more PO wins against Brady than Cpt. Fat Fu^k, Leader of Men), Jeff George, RYAN LEAF.

Carson Wentz too… who fell of a cliff and I don’t care. Foles won it for Eagles.

Can't think who this is atm, but it also doesn't really matter. :DD

Bear leads with head, helmet to helmet tackle knocks out the runner, and it's just "oh hey, looks like a great tackle that forced a fumble, now to commercial!" Nobody mentions just how dangerous and dirty the play was. Refs ignore/miss it.

Football can be fun, but it's really hard to not want to burn everything about the sport to the ground sometimes.

Man if the Panthers could stop the run they would actually be legitimately competitive in the league

Even with Brown that wasn't happening but w/o him it's worse
It's crazy. They have a great OL. They pass block and run block to the level that you legitimately can win a Super Bowl behind it. But their defensive line is so miserable that there's no hope of it.

Get a great DL or 2 in the draft and it completely changes the trajectory of the franchise. And just having a QB who can throw.

This is just a terribly built football team. Offensively they are a mess and defensively they might be one of the worst at defending against the run in the last 50 years or so. Just absolutely brutal.

This franchise is a punchline. And now the announcers are calling the Panthers a "stat stuffer" of a cakewalk opponent. Awesome

Thanks, Tepper.

Sucks that there isn't a transcendent qb this year, draft another oline/dline man (or trade down?) and tank for Arch Manning in 2026

Lets be real, Arch will probably pull an Eli and refuse to play here, and he'll have the support of his family and the media and others. Hell Andrew Luck didn't want to play for Richardson.

Honestly I do think the best hope for the future of pro football in the Carolinas is for Tepper to move the team and Charlotte to get a new expansion team or other team relocating.
The best thing Tepper could do to save football in the Carolinas is to sell the team.

The second best thing he could do is move the franchise a few years later have another expansion come in and resurrect football in the region.

If this level of suck continues for much longer, the Panthers brand might never recover in this region. Its not like it was incredibly strong before, but Tepper is actively destroying all the goodwill that was still there

He won’t sell. The team despite sucking makes him a ton of money and is increasing in value
