When was the last time the Panthers suddenly decided to go young?

The year is 2000. A team with veterans at key positions and an aging quarterback have a mediocre season. Seifert has an uncharacteristic "change of heart" and goes extremely young in the offseason. The team has an awful year in 2001 and seifert is fired, but the team is primed for a new coach to come in and have quick success.

The year is 2009. A team with veterans at key positions and an aging quarterback have a mediocre season. Fox and Hurney have an uncharacteristic "change of heart" and go extremely young in the offseason. The 2010 season is.... and....?

All we need to do is take The Golden Calf of Bristol in the 4th like we did Weinke in 2001 and the metaphor will be complete.

I'm afraid of the draft now. Thanks for taking that away from me.

    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
    • Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.
    • Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
