Which mistake was the biggest  

90 members have voted

  1. 1. Which of these would fix the Panthers the most?

    • Not having chosen David Tepper as an owner.
    • Not having hired Scott Fitterer.
    • Choosing someone other than Frank Reich as head coach.
    • Taking someone other than Bryce Young at #1.
    • Not making the trade up to #1.

Tepper

 

Because he held onto Hurney after firing Rivera instead of starting clean

Went with Hurney to hire Rhule

 he is the one that hired Fitterer 

 

he’s the one that hired Reich (remember the reports going back to late last fall that Tepper liked experienced HC and why Dan Quinn’s name came up)

he’s the one that was so QB horny that was chasing Watson relentlessly even to the point where he didn’t want to spend the money for guys like Reddick because we needed that money for Watson.   Only to ultimately balk because the price tag on what Watson wanted money wise was too much.

Obviously, I think not having David Tepper as the owner of the franchise would have avoided the most short-term pain. However, as I have said before- I think he is the right guy for the long term once he has the right people around him.

The right decision was to keep Wilks and build off of the success he managed to whittle out of clay and wheat. A full off-season with him would have given this team some success. It has been at least 8 years since I saw a team support their coach as he was by the end of the regular season last year. Now, the emotion is bland and empty again. 

Sure, there were questions about Holcombe leading the defense and everyone on key about having an "offensive minded coach", but you don't fix what isn't broken. I have watched the air leave the team in the past 10 months.

I voted 'other'.

Initially I was ok with not trading Burns after trading CMC but hindsight has me rethinking that.

We should have fully committed to the rebuild with all the picks from that trade. Im still good with the coaching hires and still good with Young, but had we made the Burns trade we probably would have kept DJ Moore and that might be the difference in our record right now.

I don't think Wilks was the magic fix. I think defensively we are better off with the guy we have at DC over Wilks.

I do think Wilks would have not been at 0-4.

    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.  Mock drafts 
    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
