Believe it or not this is not a pity post and I still believe in BY. But this whole season has got me thinking, what is the lowest point a sport franchise and fan base can get, and have we reached it?

Years of sustained mid to strait garbage kicked off by a brutal end to one of the most beloved players careers in Carolina. Haven’t been able to draft good young players. Almost all of our good FA signings we haven’t been able to keep in Carolina. Haven’t won a trade and given up lots of capital. Tried to recoup the lost capital by trading away our most exciting player for pennys on the dollar. Gave up key future capital and one of our best players for a young QB. The QB we didn’t take is balling out and we are now officially the worst team in the league without a first rd pick after hyping ourselves up in the offseason.

I have for the most part emotionally checked out of this season and couldn’t help but think this has got to be the lowest point a franchise can reach. Surely the only way we can go from here is up. Competitively and emotionally we can’t get any worse than this right?

With that being the case the only thing I really have to say is please don’t let this teams struggles leak into your own mental health. I know it’s hard not to feel shit when your team is this shit and we are likely another few tough years away from being good, but at the end of the day it is just a sports team and at this point letting this team mess with your mental health is just objectively a bad decision.

When we ARE good though, we can all say we struggled through times like this and winning is gonna feel extra special. I know that I will never take for granted being a good team and winning ever again !!
