So I know one of the topics to go poo on the Panthers was “Matt stafford didn’t want to come to this dumpster fire”

but Ian is reporting today that there were a TON of teams on the verge of the trade and Stafford and his family had their heart 100 percent set on LA...IMO it seems more of a “Stafford wanted to go their more than he didn’t want to come here” kind of thing.

Dont let the tweet fool you, the article mentions how aggressive the Colts got after the Panthers dropped out. 
 

also….it’s GAMEDAY

He’s their version of Cam Newton. He had just 4 winning seasons in 12 years. His talent was wasted. The team around him was never all that great.

I didn't want Stafford. I'm not fond of giving away future early round picks for a 33 year old QB, ESPECIALLY since we're not a playoff now ready team anyway.  It always made sense for Stafford to go to a superbowl contending team. He paid his dues in Detroit, he didn't want to potentially go through yet ANOTHER rebuild.

Detroit finally got one right after terribly botching the Barry Sanders and Megatron situations. Stafford was a good QB for them who they failed to build a team around. He wanted out and they were willing to sign off on sending him where he wanted to go as long as the trade compensation was in the ballpark of other offers. Good in them. Finally.

Yeah. So glad we got Sam Darnold instead.

I’m sure the Rams were locked in to Darnold if the Stafford deal were to have fallen through.

      We never should have traded him it’s as simple as that. Same with DJ. Same with Burns. You don’t trade young, home grown, proven talent for a lottery ticket. People who bitched about cap and how much they were making need to pay attention to the product on the field since then. CMC alone would win us a coupon extra games that we had no business winning, not even mentioning the leadership and tone setting he brought to the team. He’s a 1k receiver and 1k runner  and opens up everyone else on the field because cmc must be double teamed constantly, and any time he is not, he gets the ball.

      J Person article on Canales and game plan and Rico

      By Waldo · Posted

      The fact you still think he ended Youngs career last year vs the reality it was his and Dan's game plan all along is the excuse. That man went into a game leaning on Bryce while avoiding the run game because ' he wanted to build on Young’s record-breaking passing performance' in year 2 after watching the team win despite Bryce's limitations. Or is he so weak he allows Dan and Tepper to force his playcalling?  You allow so little blame to fall onto him which is making excuses for him when there is blame ro assign to everyone. You look at DC like Tepper looked at Fritters in 22 or Dan in 23, which were both poor calls too. In reality is just a matter of how much blame should get assigned to who because no one is blameless in that mix.  Wasted talk is trying to do the mental gymnastics to prove how blameless Dave is in the current mess. He is obviously one of the issues and the only reason to really keep him is because we would be left with hiring another bottom option given the way the team is run.

      Is Dumb Ass Dave Canalas the Worst Panthers Coach?

      He made some terrible decisions but winning anything with Bryce is better than we've had recently
