What was the boldest move the franchise DIDN'T make

Make these things that could have/rumored to have almost happened, not just random poo like trade a 3rd for Tom Brady in 2000 or whatever.

I like to think the rumored Joe Thomas for a first during the 2015 season probably wins us the superbowl, sets us up moving forward, and keeps cam healthy. 

All the QBs that a John Fox passed on in the draft 

Big Ben, Flacco  Rodgers and many more

Not hiring a real GM in 2017. Instead hired a GM who had already trashed the team once. 
 

Joe Thomas is a good one. They knew the 1st rounder they would be giving up was going to be a very late 1st. Rumor was CLE wanted an extra pick. Should have thrown a 3-4th at them. 3 year left on his deal at a very reasonable 8M/yr. Instead paid 25M to Matt Kalil to suck for a year then quit on the team.

Recency bias says not trading up for Justin Herbert...but then that probably means no Chinn. It's kinda hard to think "what if?" scenarios.

Then it would have been really tough if Herbert would have fell to 7 and Panthers fans had to watch the team pass on him because they just gave a backup QB 34M guaranteed.

Herbert just had the best rookie season in NFL history, only thing I can think of to ease the pain.....Herniay would still be GM if he drafted Herbert..

    • I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.
    • summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "  
    • this one is gold:     Bryce has a cult inside the Panthers fanbase that has truly developed some NPC hivemind. I'll never understand how he's captured the true essence of the casual fan like that.
