Was Frank our worst head coach?

You might be able to say that Frank checked out at some point during the season, but it was way more obvious that Seifert didn’t care at all during his last season.

The 1999 season alone is enough to put him ahead of Rhule & Frank though, easily the most fun non-playoff team the Panthers have ever fielded.

Cam is this weird double edged sword IMO when it comes to Ron.  Ron allowed for Cam to be special.  Cam wasn’t going to pair well with tons of coaches.  It would have been a Frank/Bryce scenario.

People claim Ron ran him into the ground.  None of his injuries that killed his career were tied to that though.  Cam went to NE and was basically a dominant running back after his time here.  Cam could still run on the league today.  Cam was made to be a bruiser and wanted to be.  His arm isn’t shot because of that. 

I agree with the second part. Cam was best when he wasn't hesitating to run. That's what made him special and a nightmare to defend. Surprisingly elusive for a big bruising runner. 

Ron should have focussed on securing a quality offensive line in the 5 or 6 good years he had Cam - especially since he inherited an all pro Center that stayed around the entire time. I used to blame Hurney and Gettleman, but he did the same thing in WAS. Started with a great oline, and invested all his resources into the defense - and again he can't keep a QB upright because they're getting murdered on the field. Ron also wouldn't sit Cam whe he was obviously injured. Marched him out there hurt with JAG receivers and a make shift oline. That took years off his career, and is almost unforgivable.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.

      I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it.

      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.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
