Gettleman's ultimate legacy was ending the career of the most electric and impactful player in our franchise's history, well before it should've been.  I was just telling a friend about the play he got hurt on making a tackle because of KB's fat sorry ass loafing on that route.  Combine drafting KB's fat ass with him failing to surround Cam with adequate protection, and that was the fast track to the end.

I was telling my friend, honestly, had that play not happened, Cam could have and very well likely would have been able to play with his exact style of play for 10+ years.  His build and body type was able to absorb hits, especially the ones where he was bracing for them on the designed runs and all that...  and that has always stuck with me.  All that time people were worried about his style of play lending itself to injury and it was never even his play that caused the injury.  It was a freak play that should have never happened.  A QB making a tackle because his sorry ass receiver gave up on a route and let it get picked off.  And on top of that, he could've made that tackle 100 times and never gotten hurt on it...  yet, he did.  It sucks and why it's forever fug KB and Gettleman over this way.

And even despite that, post-shoudler injury Cam came back and was in MVP talks again (I believe it was 2017?) before the Watt hit finished him off for that season.  What was and what could've been had it not been for Gettleman's dumbass.

Jason Peter was worthless.

Rashard Anderson wasn't any better.

And then there's Vernon Butler.

Every one of them was worse than Benjamin.

Not in terms of legacy. Getting Cam injured makes him the worst on field draft choice

Nah that was our last Wildcard appearance..he got us in the playoffs again that year('17). Might have been a different story had both Klay(TD right threw the hands) and Funchess (I lost the ball in the lights) caught their intended redzone passes. Heartbreaking game and the closest I've seen Cam to 2015 Cam since '15. 

I think your talking about the Turner year and Iirc, his completion percentage was better than ever... 63-67%. I think we were 6-2 and it was already early talks of MVP (again) until we met the Steelers. 

I'll never forget the hit. Mostly because I dont remember seeing that happen before. Unless my memory fails me: Cam dropped back and as his arm was going forward TJ Watt leads his helmet into Cam's shoulder and punched it damn near simultaneously. I thought it was illegal but even if it was Cam wasn't getting calls. 

Josh Allen has Dawkins, Cam had Byron Bell and a converted Dlineman. Enough said.

And it was night and day after that hit. It was immediately obvious that Cam was a different player. I thought he'd get better, come back the next year, then the damn foot in fuging preseason.

Agreed, fug Dave Gettleman. He used to have a TON of apologists on here and I'm glad that history has shown what a fraud that fat old bitch was. Drafted like total fuging trash. Got worthless brick hands slow WNBA players like KB and Devin Funchess to 'compliment' Cam AND COULD NOT GET A OT TO SAVE HIS LIFE. 

Marty Hurney sucks but I'll take him any day over Gettletrash.

Goddamnit what could have been. We were all robbed of one of the greatest careers in the history of the NFL. Cam is one of the all time greats and should be in the Hall of Fame. If Terrell Davis can get in, so should Cam. All these QBs today doing poor Cam imitations are his sons. One of the all time greatest athletes in his prime in all sports. Going back to his college season at Auburn until 2017 or so he was the fuging man.

2014 Panthers OL may never be topped in team history for awfulness.  I honest to God don't believe we will ever see a worse OL.

Our Week 1 OL was Byron Bell (on the all-time list for bad Panthers starters), Amini Silatolu (on the all-time list for bad Panthers starters), Ryan Kalil (thank you), Fernando Valesco (awful), and Nate Chandler (on the all-time list for bad Panthers starters).

Oh and who can forget the Philly game?  How in the hell did Cam survive that 

How did we make the playoffs LMAO

Yea but Benjamin lazy route running led to Cam messing his shoulder up. That gives him a special place in 1st round pick he'll imo.

For those that don’t remember, Jason Peter was likely addicted to pain meds when he came out of college. It’s possible he was already doing harder drugs (those mid nineties Nebraska teams….woo lad) but I doubt it. 
 

Rashard Anderson was LITERALLY a heroin dealer when he was drafted. 
 

not hard to see how that went.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
