What was the boldest move this franchise has made?

[Panthers Rhule]

Not diving on a fumble in the Super Bowl. Or is that the opposite of bold?

For the Panthers, bold and stupid are pretty closely aligned.

Sad but true.

 

Cam. Bold and shortsighted.

[Basbear]

I swear the panthers must have the weakest free agent history in the NFL? Please someone name another team worse than the panthers in free agency. Best we got is semi-old OG Matt Wahle, Ken " What youd say about money -Smitty " Lucas, and a past prime Reggie White. God dam its pathetic. fuging Matt Kalil feels like hes in the top five, what a joke in 26 years this is.

 

Fritterer fix this!!!!

Thinking a shitty defensive tackle would take care of Cam’s blind-side

If you listen to the in game audio it didn't matter if he fell on it or not, we weren't going to win. Cam started pouting in the 2nd quarter and that's when it was over. It sort of made me sick hearing Luke and TD trying to rally the troops while Cam just sat on the bench staring off in to space with his lip hanging on the ground.

I have to go with having a bear as a mascot even though we are panthers.

Our best FA move has to be signing Jake.

Why does everyone forget about Stephen Davis and how important he was? Also guys like Ricky Proehl. Sam freakin' Mills & Kevin Greene, Wesley Walls. Steve Beurelein exceeded expectations. John Kasay -- spare me the out of bounds kick in the SB, he's a Panthers Legend. We don't hit on a ton of Free Agents, but we did have some good ones.

Yea Davis gave the panthers a good 1 and half seasons. Kevin was only two season late in his career. Walls and Kasay are panthers legends(tho kicker is.....). I still believe the panthers free agency history is BY FAR the worst one over the last 26 years. Cat bro down south had much better names and success. Browns had some panthers like free agency. You did improve, still farrrr behind the other 31 teams. Panthers focused on resigning players form 7-9 teams.

Think about the BIG name free agent pickups......The two are Ken Lucas and Matt Wahle. Not late in career or blossomed after a cheap deal. Big names..... just those two in prime career points.

I'm not debating whether we have had very lackluster free agents, but the examples of the best we've had being Wahle, Lucas, and end of career Reggie. I agree completely about the lack of splashes, and it's usually due to mismanaged cap preventing us from making many bigger signings. 

[Mr. Scot]

Looking back at our history, there's an unfortunate amount of crossover between "bold" and "dumb".

Our new leadership has promised to be bold. Here's hoping they leave that other part behind.

That was my point about panthers free agent history. Walls was still finding himself and was not elite til years later. Panthers never land a big fish, for whatever reasons. Matt Kalil is 3rd on the list it feels. Geene, White, Davis, and a few others were way past their primes (but at least names normies knew.)

"Elite" players in their prime, its been pure pathetic 26 year history for the panthers signing them. One of the two was an OG when that spot was below RB and even safety in value terms, PATHETIC!

[Carolina Cajun]

Jakes extension, and I say this as a die hard jake fan.  That contract set us back and in fact harmed Cams development due to the cap situation.

Drafting Clausen to put ourselves in a position to get either Andrew Luck or Cam Newton. That was some 4d chess, and you rarely see an organization make a move that ballsy today, much less have it pay off!

Too bad the current regime was too stupid to use Grier as our new “Clausen”
