In order of farkups...IMO...

1. Signing Jake to that contract.

2. Not working harder to get Peppers contract done prior to the end of last season.

3. Giving up on the 2010 1st rd pick for Everette Brown. Not a knock on Brown, but gave too much.

4. Re-signing Dan Morgan and letting a player like Spoon walk.

5. Not getting rid of Deshaun Foster earlier and get picks for him, while DeAngelo rides the pine. (probably notsomuch his decision on starter, but if he trades him...he's not starting)

I'll add more as I think of them...

Quite possibly this latest Jake extension. If not, its his failure of finding a replacement.

I don't think the contract was as big of a deal, there's only 20 million guaranteed. Delhomme was going to count 10 mill against the cap this year. Hurney paying Peppers 16 million so handcuffed the Panthers cap wise it was the only way to free up even a few bucks. But no Jake replacement is even more heinous.

The Peppers debacle, selecting Stewart with DWill already on the roster and trading away this years #1 for Brown are the top 3 IMO.

How bout every 2nd round pick hes ever made aside from this year (to early to say) and Kalil and Jarrett (yes I still think it was a good move)? Jakes contract to me is nowhere near the travesty (yes I did go there) of not drafting a future Franchise QB in Flacco. But it wouldn't have mattered who was still there when we got Stewart we wouldn't have drafted Flacco because our FO still doesn't know what it takes to win it all in this league.

Neither Fox nor Hurney have or had the stones to take a chance on a Flacco or any QB day 1. Yeah I know I will get people talking about the risk but I think it is far more riskier (at least in terms of SB contention) to not. 4 out of the last 5 SB winners had 1st round QBs and the other just happens to be the biggest steal every in Brady (not likely to ever happen again). Fox is a good coach but is in a League that is advancing to fast for his conservative approach to succeed. Teams live and die by the QB in the NFL now and we get to watch a very slow painful death.

I bet because of the contract, Jake is back next year. Hopefully as a backup QB

Who do we get though that can come in right away and play?

I believe Chad Pennington is hitting free agency next year. I'd love to have him playing for Carolina. Not sure how Henne is doing though, so I can't say for sure if Miami won't resign him.

Hes 33 and coming off his 3rd season ending shoulder injury since 2005. I wanted him last off-season but not now unless its for vet min. He also has never started more then 10 games in consecutive seasons in his entire career.

Yeah, but if he can show he's still got that accuracy then I'd still want him. Anyone we get off free agency will more than likely be a temporary fix until we can find someone through a draft.

Either way, I just heard he might be retiring after this season, so meh :[

Maybe Brady Quinn? He hasn't gotten much of a chance to develop in Cleveland, and even if he did, it's Cleveland.

      Who will blow it Sunday?

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They are 1 and 9 against the  Bucs in the past 10 games. the Panthers go as young goes.  QB1 ‘s are suppose to dictate and overcome  and elevate Everything the QB does affects every part of the team and Bryce is uneven. Canales and Bryce have  an uneven relationship too  as for Evero, the only thing that might save him is the injury to Baker’s left shoulder and oline injuries. I don’t even know how he is out there   I really feel their season ended last Sunday Canales’ division record isn’t great   Getting owned by the Saints and Bucs isn’t a good look

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Jacabee · Posted

      Frankly surprised by the amount of people that want to hang Evero. This was a defense that was almost universally considered the bottom of the barrel before this season started. We’ve managed to stat our way to the middle of the pack whatever that means. Those critical of the zone schemes, what do you want? When even JC is getting burnt one on one by Olave you have little choice. There definitely have been moments where the zone blitz stuff has bit us. That said, are the third string linebackers (and nick Scott) covering poo anyway? This unit had only conceded 10 points going into the fourth quarter despite a litany of bullshit penalties on both sides. Them over performing is the biggest reason we are still in playoff contention.
