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.

    • After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...  
    • Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning. 
    • I like Morgan's approach but I'll wait for a few winning seasons before giving too much praise.
