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 can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset. 
    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…
