If we’re talking very early blunders I would say telling Ron he wanted a 3-4 defense. Seems that started the ball rolling backwards.

Tepper basically took a team that went to two super bowls in 13 years and said “yeah no, that run-first, vertical passing, 4-3 defense stuff is bad. Go to a 3-4 and a dunk and dunk scheme”.

 

it hasn’t worked

There has been so many but in order IMO

 

 

2- Not taking Justin Fields when we had the chance. Not only did we trade for Darnold before the draft. We could have just sat where we were taken Fields. Let him develop under Teddy for a year and see what we had. We save the picks from the Darnold deal but more importantly....THERE would have been no need to trade up for Bryce OR trade away CMC as we still would have been giving Fields his fair shot. Further if Fields had sucked here last year we would have ended up with Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels or Drake Maye

 

 

 

Not using the 8th overall pick for a backup caliber QB is one of the few things that this organization has done right in the last 6 years.

Cam Newton for the last year of his contract. This is truly when our downward spiral / constant moving towards a new QB started. If we keep Cam that year we likely suck very badly as it is Rhule's first year and Cam would be hurt and we likely end up with Trevor Lawrence 

This. Releasing Cam and signing Teddy was the dumb part of it. Releasing Cam, sure, fine, his shoulder was busted as sad as it was to see. If you were going to release Cam, It would have been an obvious tank but just play Kyle Allen at QB that year and you setup to draft Lawrence. Signing Teddy and trying to win was the blunder.

Keeping Marty was the biggest blunder. Everything that has followed comes from that one mistake.

You could argue that firing Marty was the biggest blunder.  You think mediocre is bad.  It can always get much much worse and it has.

Getting rid of Cam with no succession plan. 
 

And immediately after that every single offensive coordinator you hire it’s their first time on the job. Then fans sit and wonder why no QB can be successful. 

Neither of those things you said are accurate.  They signed teddy before getting rid of Cam. It was a dumb plan but it was one. And ole Rockstar goober from the giants had been an oc before.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
