What was the boldest move this franchise has made?

I mean: 

  • 2nd round pick
  • FA (and former 1st round pick)
  • 1st round pick
  • 3rd round pick and Franchise legend
  • 3rd round pick
  • UDFA

They didn't neglect the position at all in terms of resources. 

Resources were fine. The talent of those resources was suspect. Each guy on this last only spent a few years with Cam out of his 9. And when we got Ginn the offense exploded. Then we let him walk away.

I think Thomas Davis was a great example. 

Sticking with a WR and making him the face of the franchise that physically assaulted 3 of your players in non-football scenarios was pretty bold too. 

Odds are high most teams likely part with those at some point. 

Stewart/Otah draft was pretty bold and not in a good way.  

Stew and Otah were great players though. Otahs knee injury ruined his career. But in terms of their talent and ability to play it was a solid move. 
 

Ive never seen a team be able to run the ball at will like we could in 2008.

Stewart was a top 5 talent

It was one of the boldest first rounds IMO the Panthers have had in a draft.   It wasn't a Stewart diss. 

We had just drafted a first round RB.  Then we spend another first round pick on a RB (which was pretty nutz) and then after that went right back into the first round and surprised everyone. 

out of all the 10 billion predictions, no one was close on that one.

Otah was a beast.  IMO, the best run blocking T we have ever had here.   

I mean, they hit the talent.   Can't predict injury.   I have never been an Otah hater. 

The not in a good way reference opens up that whole can of worms about thinking drafting and then paying multiple first round RBs as some formula for success.

No poo, my high school buddy and I were working at Applebees that offseason. Taking about the draft about a week before, I told him that I wanted that TE Olsen from Miami. But, that I was sure the Panthers were gonna take Stewart or Otah. Neither one of us could believe it when they drafted both.  Years later, when we traded for Olsen, he called me up, "Holy poo dude, you're like an Oracle..."

Benching Rodney Peete at halftime in a losing season opener and sending in Jake "Who the Heck" Delhomme and then riding his work to our first Super Bowl appearance.

Nothing matches that. 

Cam was supposed to be that guy and eventually was. Jake was supposed to still be delivering for UPS before the end of the season and he just refused to not take his shot at his dream.

      I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
