So I just watched a highlight vid of our 15-1 season and thought about - What if we had Burns in his current form on that squad in the SB50? Would he be enough to flip the result?

And I thought our D would be ruthless with him but idk if he wins us the game. What player can you pick off any Panthers squad and he wins us the game? 2005 Smitty?  Still idk..

Obviously dropping Moton, Wharton or Gross on the right side might do it.. but I just thought about what 1 player might flip that game. And would it be the same for 2003?

A Right Guard would prolly do it for 2015, but what does the job for '03? Maybe Kuechly in his prime? Burns playing the other side with Pep?

Anyways - I just thought it was a good 2-beers-in conversation, lmao..

Give me anyone over Mike Remmers and we win. Literally anyone in the league at the time. fug man, now I’m upset again. It’s been 6 years and I’m still not over the fact we got robbed. 

I don’t want to alarm you but it has been 7 years

Dan Morgan was no slouch. 59 was HOF good, but when healthy, 55 was really good.

I think if we had Greg Hardy available like we were supposed to for 2015 we probably would have gone undefeated and won SB 50.  He was a more complete player at the time than Burns is now. A tad less athletic maybe but much stronger in the running game and he was relentless. 
 

Having any version of Steve Smith probably wins SB 50. He would own Talib and we might get some calls going our way for a veteran player.

Make no mistake we win if the refs don’t cheat us out of the game though . That’s the real reason we lost. Headhunting Cam for 60 minutes with no flags and the BS Cotchery call are what did us in.

Exactly. The only choices to make are RT or WR.

Yessir.

Our defense gave up two FGs in that game.  The two TDs Denver scored were 1) while they were on the sidelines watching the offense give up points, and 2) brought in to defend a 4-yard field.  The other FG was off a botched punt coverage.

No amount of additional defensive talent was going to win that game.  They throttled the Denver offense. 

Now address the tackle mismatch or counter the Von Miller onslaught and give it a pause and perhaps the outcome is different.

Painful seeing in hindsight just how Gettleman botched the bag with Smitty. Terrible way of handling one of our best players ever.

Drank too much of the "Gettlemagic" kool-aid to realize how much he also destroyed the team while trying to "manage the cap."

What could've been...and what could've been had we fixed our mistakes against our lone falcons loss and prepared for those green dog blitz'. Going against a legitimate secondary with no WR open made it hell for Cam to do much of anything.

I'm still mad about 2017 too and our loss against the Saints. If Funchess tracked that ball we win and could've had an incredible run too with how Cam was playing. Damn perfect game from Newton but wasn't enough.

The talent we wasted those years, I'll never forgive this franchise for squandering it.

A disgrace we couldn't get Cam Newton, Ryan Kalil, Greg Olsen, Thomas Davis, and Luke Kuechly a ring in 2015.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.

      Let's be real. Signing Matt Kalil who was at the time inconsistent at best was always an extremely risky move and largely initiated by the fact he was related to one of our most prominent players Ryan Kalil. Memories get fuzzy the longer time passes I guess. Go watch some old Panthers games with Ted Ginn nearly losing us games. Then watch Cam Newton keep going back to him again and again and again. Then read all the Xavier Legette criticism while making excuses for Bryce being swept by rookie 2nd round pick Tyler Shough. Throwing TMac under the bus is just further proof how deranged the Bryce Young defense force has become. Bryce Young can barely compete in this gutter iteration of the NFC South. Let's see him take this WR core to the playoffs in an NFC South with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan
