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.

      This season only ends one way... We win this Sunday. Bryce is decent. We take back 1st place...   Only to then get our brakes blown off in the last two weeks.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Here's one of the most maddening things, that will be shown in full light over the next three weeks. The same people around here that called Darnold a bum and Mayfield a washed up over draft are also the ones saying Bryce is a catastrophe. Yeah, and I've been one who said Bryce wasn't big enough, brave enough or capable enough. I said back in the day that Darnold had a lot of fight in him and got shouted down. And on Mayfield, heck I didn't know, I just knew we had a very, very bad team that was run terribly. But I saw both of those guys go out there and resurrect their careers and be play-off bound since shaking the Carolina clay dust off their cleats. And we sat there and cat called their cars as they pulled out of the parking lot, laughing at what nobodies they were. Over the next three weeks, those two guys may just serve us sh!t sandwiches and then settle down to their just desserts. And then we'll probably let Bryce go off into the realm of other teams. And when that happens, will we see him coming back, better than before and we're left to re-sit this cycle all over again? Same naysayers, same results, same revolving carousel of ponies and pundits?  Will we end up looking like the Temu version of the San Diego Chargers back in the day watching Drew Brees come to fruition in the previously moribund Superdome while we whiff on a Manning pick just to be jilted for Phillip "Always a Bridesmaid" Rivers?
