I didn't really become a Panthers fan until we drafted Peppers 2nd overall in '02 but I bet there was a lot of hollering to take Joey Harrington.

Hurney confirmed we had Carr rated above Peppers and would have taken him as the pick had we been in the #1 spot.

A lot of Hurney's success with 1st rounders was aided by others' mistakes. Had Brian Burns not been available he was gonna take Greg Little at #16.

It's been a fun ride. 

Imagine being a Colts fan....a very similar situation to Carolina and would have cost you less to get to #1. Waited around and got jumped by your ex-HC and now you're staring at potentially the fourth QB if they get leapfrogged by AZ trading down.

They, much like us, have endured several years of vet retreads at QB too with a new HC in place.

Their FA signings have been doo doo too. Lost several good to above average players and best signing is a kicker.....maybe Isaiah McKenzie. 

I feel like with Rhule & Rivera, the Colts path would've been ours. Less aggressive and settling for mediocre players.

I agree with those who are happy as long as we get one of the big 2.

In that case, I'm more excited to go to training camp and preseason games than I have been since cams first year.  If we take someone else, I'll convince myself to be excited but I really think that would be a mistake.

I agree, this is the biggest debate the fanbase have had in a long time.

After watching franchises like the Chiefs, Bengals & to a degree Buffalo which were historically bad, become seemingly overnight sensations & probably due to be relevant for the next 5 to 10 years, It gives most of us great hope it could happen to us as well with the right guy.

i don't know about it being a great debate other than i think it's a much better debate to be having than 'who the fug are we going to pick at 9?'

For me i don't see much point in arguing or getting upset about it because, from where i'm standing, we win either way. 

Amen

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
