Absolve a Panther Player of Injuries

Does absolving them of injuries include their mental health as well?

Because I'd have loved to see KB13 develop without losing his mind after his mother's passing and knee injury.

Forgot to mention that by proxy this would have meant that Cam never lands on his shoulder chasing down an INT caused by KB. 👀

Luke and CMC would be massive without the injuries. Cam would still be in the discussion of top QBs in the league right now, rather than him being discussed as being over the hill. Jake was in his best season ever when injury just ruined him.

But if I had to go back and make a complete change for one guy, it would have been Jordan Carstens. He was a DL for the Panthers who was probably the most country strong player we've ever fielded. He was becoming a real factor in games thanks to the emphasis we were putting on the d-line in 2004-2006. Excellent coaching and great play from Pep and Rucker along with DT Brentson "King of the Sneaky Hold" Buckner. Jordan had to leave the sport behind in 2006 due to kidney issues. Always thought he was going to be one of the greats, but it just didn't work out for him.

 


See now THAT is the kind of answer I was also wondering about.  It's easy to say Luke, Cam etc.  but I'm sure there are some other guys that would've had amazing potential if they'd stayed healthy.

cam was beating his 2015 season before he got injured. is this even a question?

When was he ever beating his 2015 season? 2016 clearly not. 2017 he was very good but not 2015 level. 2018 he was doing very good and better than 2017 before the injuries but still not at 2015 level.

But yeah in terms of purely winning games, Cam is the answer. A 100% healthy Cam with full strength in his arm is the most valuable player in team history at the most important position.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
