Social media rips Panthers following 40-7 drubbing at the hands of Marcus Mariota, Frankie Luvu, and Commanders

Just when you think the Carolina Panthers have hit rock bottom they find a way to keep sinking. This is year five of Carolina trotting out a team that is wholly unable to compete anywhere near the level of playoff-caliber teams. At this point it's tough to call these losses disappointing. They're just expected.

Disgruntled Panthers fans and brutally honest analysts alike took to social media to voice their displeasure following the loss that dropped Carolina to 1-6 with the league's worst point differential.

The Panthers are losing 27-0 in a game in which Jayden Daniels played one series.
There is no rock bottom.

— Joe Person (@josephperson) October 20, 2024

The Panthers have now lost 4 games this season by at least 21 points. No other NFL has more than 2 such losses this year.

Remember when folks thought the first half of 2022 was rock bottom?

Person, Kaye, and Jones, are three of the NFL's most respected media members. The first two cover the team on a daily basis, giving them a perspective of how bleak things really are in the building. For those two to call, *gestures wildly at everything that happened in Washington D.C. today* this further than rock bottom? That hits different.

10/10. No notes.

National media members weigh in

I genuinely feel bad for Panthers fans. They don’t deserve this.

— Brett Kollmann (@BrettKollmann) October 20, 2024

Jayden Daniels only played 12 snaps today and the score is Commanders 34, Panthers 0.

Washington looks pretty good -- but wow, this Panthers team is utterly horrendous. Not even competitive.

Panthers defense legit getting carved up by marcus mariota in a two minute drill

beyond embarrassing organization

— Josh Norris (@JoshNorris) October 20, 2024

No lies spotted in any of these tweets. Things are supremely bad for the Carolina Panthers. They are currently bad. They project to be bad again next year. And at what point has any move that the franchise has made in the last five or so years lead one to believe that they'll compete in 2026? It is beyond comprehension that teams like the Commanders, Texans, Lions, Bears, etc. have gone from worst to first over and over again while Carolina still flounders as the league's doormat.
