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.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
