Amini just couldn't stay healthy. I don't really think you can blame the player for that   .

Biggest draft bust, taking into consideration what was spent to get them and what the panthers received, has to go to either Everette brown, armanti Edwards, or Eric Shelton. 

Everette brow was weird, had no position in the nfl, and didn't want to play. Eric Shelton got hit once in training camp after never really playing anyone at Louisville and said fug this. Armanti just didn't belong on the field.

Jason Peter instead of anyone else.  Same for Rae Carruth.

Disagree. Carruth was on his way to being a super star in the league. No way we could know he would have his gf killed.

Based on draft position, the trade up for Armanti was bad, but the pick it garnered was used on Ras-I Dowling and none of the players around the 3rd where we selected Armanti were of any consequence.

The trade of a future first to select Jeff Otah cost the Panthers a pick that could have been used on Hakeem Nicks and Patrick Chung among others. The Otah pick itself could have been used on Aqib Talib or Chris Johnson, but Hurney had already chosen Stew earlier that round.

The Everette Brown trade is hands down the worst based on lost draft capital. The Panthers could have selected Connor Barwin or LeSean McCoy and the next year's FIRST ROUNDER they gave up to move into that slot was used on Mike Iupati and could have been used on Maurkice Pouncey, Demaryius Thomas, Jermaine Gresham, Dez Bryant, or Devin McCourty.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
