What was the boldest move this franchise has made?


Recommended Posts

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!!!!

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

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.

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.

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!

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”

    • I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years. 
    • I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
