Panthers' hard work pays off, the last remaining winless team in the NFL

McCaffrey is benefiting immensely and producing because of the offense ran by Shanahan.

DJ Moore is producing with Justin Fields on one of the league's worst consistently ran franchises. If we were to undue any trade it would be giving away Moore for the worst of the top 3 QB's in this years draft.

Not to mention we sent pick 61 from the CMC trade for Bryce, and Tank Dell went 69th. After reaching for Mingo at 39. Then we traded the CMC 3rd and 4ths for DJ Johnson lol.

This board was calling for people to trade McCaffery for his durability issues long before it happened.  It's exactly what they are doing with Horn now.  

So your saying Horn is going to be a pro-bowler on whatever team we trade him to as well?

I honestly think CMC wasn’t hurt that bad at all in 2021. He missed a few games early and didn’t appear to get hurt when Miami dusted us and they put him on the shelf again because we were done. I’m not sure if he could have come back in 2020, we had another epic collapse so they weren’t going to play him. McCaffery had some injuries (nothing serious) but if it was 2013-2017 when we were an honest to goodness playoff contender, I’d bet good money he would have missed a lot less time. That’s why I don’t think there was any worry in SF that he was probably going to be fine.

Yeah, Tepper's eyes seem set on Germany. Makes sense. Biggest economy in Europe.

Could be a problem with the Rooney rule if he did it too quickly though. Would be a legitimate complaint that Frank was hired to lose to move the team. Other candidates weren't given a genuine chance to be hired for a head coaching position for the right reasons.

If healthy, Horn has the potential to be a probowler.  Sometimes injuries happen and it doesnt mean the guy is injury prone.  Imagine if we had traded Thomas Davis after his first three knee injuries.  Horn is young, cheap and can be a very good corner.  Why trade that away?

SMH, it’s a joke that he’ll be way better when he leaves us.

Also, he really won’t be cheap per game in the end. He’s basically played 1 year out of 3. Even if healthy year 4 and year 5 (5th year option), we’ll have played him about $11M per healthy year. If he never gets hurt his rookie deal and 5th year would be about $6M a year.

Honestly it does, and it's because we were sold the idea that we ain't picking top 10 in a while and that we were a QB away, oh and something about playoffs. lol The fans didn't speak this. The front office did. 

Yep and we were building things the right way

This season feels worse than the Matt Rhule seasons.

I hate that we've come to this, but I agree with you.

I've never seen such uninspired play calling or lack of aggression from one of our teams. And I've watched every season since we started. 

It's bad enough that I'm beginning to wonder if Ron Rivera will be available at the end of this season.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
