In the last 10 years they’ve seen their home grown QB shit himself to lose a SB and then a horrific trade for a small QB result in passing on CJ Stroud and Caleb Williams.

Those poor fans

We'll just call it the Cassel Doctrine

"Whatever we do, we must continue to plow assets into making this god-awful decision of ours look merely mediocre..."

Good organizations move on from mistakes. Average ones just work around them. Truly bad organizations double down on them.

We'll see where Carolina falls but I have my guesses...

Imagine being a Carolina fan and realizing that your team missed out on Stroud AND Williams all because your owner was enamored with Young.

Has to be rough. Despite getting to the Super Bowl twice in their 29 short years, they’re a fairly forgettable franchise.

If it helps just think of them as Duke fans and their plight becomes easier to laugh at

Their only hope is that they're the worst team in the NFL again, and somebody like Carson Beck emerges as a legitimate #1 overall type of QB, or they get a haul.

what other fan base has ever pitched in and got a "fire the GM and bench the QB" banner flown over the game?

Pioli was the biggest piece of shit GM that's ever GM'd.

Don't shed any tears for them. I live here and they're all bandwagoners.

Yeah, but either way they need to take their medicine like you and DJ are saying.

It's tantamount to a bad golf shot. You can double down and try to punch it under the trees and over the water to carry 220, but if you don't carry that then you have penalty strokes and you're REALLY ****ED, or you can take your medicine and layup to live for another hole. WAY too many teams elect to choose the former rather than the latter.

This, and we most likely don’t have CJ95 if we have Reek. And we’ve won 2 without him and with Chris so…

I bet you Denver tries to get him. They will have more resources after this season. And to them it would be a **** you to KC. But, we shut him down for the most part. And he’s getting older.

Would not surprise me at all.

It's why I've always disagreed with Beuhler. Pioli was absolutely a way more toxic and horrible cancer to this franchise than Herm.

This is why a roster churn at WR through the draft along with cheap 1-2 year deals for WR's who are ring hunting makes the most sense. WR just isn't the difference maker that you would think given their salaries. At $30 million+ a year they need to be the reason for why teams win SBs. They aren't.

Yes.

Herm was just a shitty coach.

Pioli was rotten to the core. Everything he did was toxic, and his arrogance made him even more unlikable.

**** him. Forever. My detestation for that mother ****er will never wain.
