The Carolina Panthers are 0-2 after a disappointing home loss on Thursday Night Football to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and our FanPulse users are showing their displeasure with the team’s lackluster start with a vote of no confidence. According to our latest FanPulse survey, only seven percent of Panthers fans are confident in the direction of the team moving forward. Yes, you read that right — seven. As in, less than 10 percent. Seven. Percent.
Just look at this constant decline over the last few weeks:

(percentage of fans who voted ‘confident’)
End of 2018 season — 24%
Start of free agency — 65%
Pre-2019 draft — 62%
Post-2019 draft — 75%
Preseason Week 1 — 93%
Regular season Week 1 — 63%
Regular season Week 2 — 46%
Regular season Week 3 — 7%
This is, quite simply, unacceptable.
