What is your unpopular opinion?

I'm happy we didn't reach on a QB from 2006-2009 to eventually replace Jake.

There were very few good ones to come out of those drafts and none that we could've even drafted in R1-2.  Flacco would be an exception but he was taken a pick before us. 

Also don't like the narrative that Clausen led us to Cam.  That was more on Matt Moore pulling a Kevin Kolb/Kyle Allen and teasing us he was our future, then flopping terribly.  That saved us from a lot of pain and heartache, and truly led us from the end of Delhomme to Cam.  No "bridge" required.  

A popular opinion: I still can't believe we didn't draft a QB high with Rhule.  It is still mind boggling how poorly he did at trying to build an NFL team.

I love Cam, but number 1 is correct.  Jake had the 2 min offense down pat.

Delhomme had Smitty, Moose, Walls (underrated), and an actual LT during most of his career. Cam only had Smitty and Gross his rookie year. That helps a lot in a GWD.

Without looking it up, I think Walls had retired by the time Jake was playing here. But I get what you're saying. Cam had Olsen, and briefly Shockey.

Fitterer is not a GM and should not have be carried over or hired in the first place.

High value coaches and players won’t play for Tepper and Rhule’s GM (lol) and those interviews are likely a disaster behind closed doors.

This franchise will never see success until Tepper takes his hands off, and hires help to put the right GM in place that will be able to bring in a winning coach. Basically the blueprint for most successful teams since like forever.

The Panthers and Tepper are a laughing stock trying to find a cheat code, trading valuable future assets and money, at QB, and consistently displaying how Tepper has zero clue evident by not following rules etc.

There is a reason why coaches/players in demand do not come here and we are always left with personnel with little options.
 

Some fans side with Tepper and say this is being smart, path makers, and finding a diamond. I say it’s ineptness, and evidence in lies in results.

Mike Remmers was a decent RT when he wasn't being put in impossible situations one on one against all-galaxy pass rushers.  He's remembered for being destroyed by Von Miller and Shaq Barrett in the Super Bowl, but his entire body of work isn't as horrible as emotional, angry fans think.

Gettleman rebounded nicely from 2016 with the 2017 draft and FA.  He also made several shrewd plug-and-go FA signings that filled holes in the roster and made us competitive in 2013.

    • Yes, he's a tier above them, but you also touched on the money side of it.  With T-Mac locked in as our #1 on a rookie contract for a few more years, I'd much rather use that money that would be needed for DJ on our defense and develop Coker into our #2.   Especially given his contract situation as an UDFA, as his contract is up at the end of this year but we can keep him around for a 3rd team controlled year on the real cheap.  Which means we probably could get him to sign a very reasonable extension this offseason to give him a little more money while giving us a bargain contract for what he provides. DJ's contract is north of $20 million for the next 5 years, why pay that for your #2 WR with the needs we have on defense and you have guys like Coker, XL, and Horn on rookie contracts who very well could combine to be a serviceable 2-4 WRs behind a stud in T-mac? I love DJ and he'd be a great fit on this team as our #2, but the money side of it just makes absolutely zero sense, that's all it comes down to for me on this one. And no, I don't see the Bears wanting XL back in that trade, because they drafted Burden, who is essentially a better version of what XL provides, a player you want to get the ball into their hands and let them go to work.
    • I didnt see that many bad calls in the panthers cowboys game, but the chiefs especially in the playoffs were getting every single call they could get then the refs when it didnt matter would throw a call towards the other teams.  That I believe was the taylor swift effect.   But its crazy just thinking about how easy it is to change a game.  You dont need but a single ref to make a few close calls go towards one team over the other and in the nfl that is the game.  
    • I don't think it's unrealistically blaming Bryce Young......to say has been a reason, sometimes a big one, in why our pass offense overall has been extremely week over the past 3 collective seasons.  I think that bothering anyone, is just being overly invested in some Bryce Young argument.  It's just a reality.
