Avenging the Carolina Panthers


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

Or demoting Washington earlier last year. Or signing last years FAs. Or resigning an injured Olsen. Maybe we should do a GoT one where there is a 'your killed of this show' list combined with the Avengers time stone 'to fix past mistakes and make a better future' list?

 Sign Whitworth instead of Turnstilalil.

2012 Draft

 Don’t trade a 2013 3rd round pick for Joe Adams. When that pick could/would have been Terron Armstead. Or Keenan Allen. 

 2012-13 off-season

Hire Norv Turner(who was just fired as HC in SD) instead of Shula. He went to CLE as OC. Hard to believe we couldn’t provide a better opportunity than the Browns.

Yes, yes, and yes!

I was floored when Igo didn't mention pat-a-cake Matt's contract as his #1 mistake.

Also, more damning than releasing Smitty, IMO, was the whole Bell, Chandler debacle. 

EDIT: pretty much anything we've done at tackle since Gross retired (Williams and Moton excluded) has been a shitshow!

Michael Oher did fine. So did Moton before he was stupidly replaced by Frank Clark.

Edit: Chris Clark (dammit)

Releasing Smitty wasn't a huge mistake. We went to the playoffs, then the super bowl without him. 

He's my all time favorite player, but it wasn't a bad move. The bad move was trying to get Benjamin to replace him. Should have drafted Allen Robinson instead. 

We didn't go to the playoffs/SB just because we shipped off Steve Smith.

Did any of you guys watch Panthers football before 2015 or what? When it was Steve and Cam, our defense was essentially swiss cheese more often than not. Finally the defense began to come into their own after he left. Certainly you could argue offensively there was some kind of difference, but to just sidestep the fact that our defense made a huge leap is just being disingenuous.

And let's just be absolutely brutally honest here. What did we do at WR after Steve left? We drafted two busts early, and the best deep threat we fielded was a journeyman WR with suspect hands in Ted Ginn who saw a career resurgence with Cam Newton.

Steve Smith's final season with this team was in 2013. It's 2019 and we just now have a WR in DJ Moore who looks like he has similar playmaking ability.

I stand corrected. Oher was solid on the left. He slipped my mind. G-man signed him to a bargain, 2 year $7 million contract to. One of his best moves. FWIW, the 1 year (after Gross retired) that we had a solid LT, we went to the SB.

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
