We got so lucky to get Cam Newton so quickly. Think about it, Cleveland and Chicago come to mind. And look at the QBs since Cam came into the league, we would still be searching. Just something to think about.

Every time I see a thread like this I think about The Trade That Didn't Happen. And that means I will need a lot of extra alcohol tonight...

I'm not sure if it was luck as much as, well...we stunk like 3 day old poo marinated in spoiled milk during Foxy's last year. You can't get that top pick without being really, really bad.

You are exactly right. In this league, if you mess up on the QB, you pay for years. Bears, Bucs, Browns, Texans, Bills, Jets, Redskins, Eagles... the list goes on and on. And it takes coaching that can grow a QB patiently, too.

Cam, as phenomenal as he is, could have been ruined had he ended up someplace like Washington, Buffalo, Tennessee or Houston.

Just think about it...we very easily could have pick Marcel Darius or Blaine by God Gabbert. Really gotta give a big shout out to old Hurn Dog for that one...he really hit a home run when he drafted Cam.

Hurn Dog hit a lot of home runs, be just had some flaws that all came to light when Peppers left and Delhome fell apart. 2008 was a real turning point.

Someone in the Bills FO (I think) referred to it as QB purgatory which is a perfect description in my opinion. Especially if your team is just good enough to keep you out of the top 10 in the draft. We've kind of been in left tackle purgatory for a couple of years now, but hey, gettlemagic.

We were the worst football team of the decade.  How ironic that we will be entrenched in the greatest dynasty of the salary cap era at the end of the decade.

For all the poo people on here talk about Hurney, it's a good thing he didn't listen to many of them. If it were up to a significant number of Panthers fans 5 years ago, we would have never drafted Newton. You have to give Hurney credit for Cam, and Luke, both picks were met with a good bit of ridicule here at the time.

      what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

      By TLGPanthersFan · Posted

      Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens.

      Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.

      Highest amount of OL salary cap in the league too. The Chiefs are behind us at 2 but we are ahead of them by a cool $23 million. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2026/table/active/sort/cap_total
