He was still able to play like Cam needed to play before that cheap shot by Watt. Can't tell me that didn't reinjure him. He was clearly not the same guy after that game.

I’m sure the hit didn’t help but the shoulder injury/surgeries started in 2016/2017.

According to this article about his 2019 surgery, it says he was added to the team’s injury report for the week 8 game. The Pittsburgh game was week 9. It was a bad hit, but he was already experiencing shoulder problems again before that game.

If Newton missed the next week or separated his shoulder or broke his collarbone, I might agree with you but a bad hit doesn’t tear a rotator cuff. It took years before all the wear and tear got to him and after that he had shoulder issues from 2016 until his career ended.

lol what the hell would be different (better) about this team if we had won that game??? nothing

We would have made the playoffs and had a pick in the 20s. We wouldn’t have been able to trade up for Young. We might have kept Darnold another year and picking from Tampa’s spot and the pick for CMC, we could have picked Kinkaid, Flowers, Smith-Njigba or Addison in the 1st, Reed or Rice in the 2nd and Dell or Downs in the 3rd. Could have solved the WR issue and seen if Darnold was worth it while also still having Moore and our 2024 1st and 2025 2nd. Instead we lost all those picks and have Young. We also could have ignored XL and taken Frazier at C or DeJean at CB. Team would be a lot more talented and likely winning the division.

Damn, you’re right. We could be living large with Darnold, Wilks, and DJ right now plus a good defense. This single event set in motion a chain of events that has all but destroyed Pantherdom

That was a BS call. The refs absolutely robbed us on that one. Earlier this season, one of the Chargers’ defenders removed his helmet immediately after intercepting a pass in the EZ. And no flag!!! Can’t tell me the refs didn’t screw us on the DJ call.

Plus, he wasn't in the field when it happened.

Exactly. It was an obvious hose job. Panthers should’ve won that game and the refs screwed us. Still pissed  about it. To suggest that penalty set us back years is pretty silly considering all the other major screw ups committed by Tepper.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By dep · Posted

      Watched the recent Mic'd up which had the Bucs game. This angle makes that fumble look so much worse, pretty sure it was inbetween Bryce's hands.   bbb.mp4

      The ickey ekwonu question...

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is what you did not mention (and I have not read the thread--but will--it is a needed) and that is the MAFF.  He is in a contract year (2026-5th year) and we will not know (in all likelihood) how the knee is healing by the time we have to decide on a mega deal.   If you consider the time it takes to fully heal is 12 months if all goes well, the injury is known to shorten careers.  Of course, a man of 330 lbs who needs agility to perform at a high level makes the injury a bit more serious than it was for Jimmy Graham, for example, who recovered in a remarkable 9 months.  Having said all that, I think he should be moved inside to guard.   While many NFL linemen can return to play after patellar tendon surgery, studies show a significant failure rate and reduced performance, with return-to-play (RTP) rates often cited around 50-56%, meaning roughly 44-50% don't make it back, and even those who do often see reduced careers and statistics, highlighting it as a devastating injury for linemen." I think you have to go after an elite OT, and I think it should be a first rounder because you don't sign elite LTs in free agency.  Ickey is already going to get paid $18m or so in 2026.    However, the money you save by not locking him down long term could go to a free agent edge or ILB.  It is very complicated if you start factoring in contracts, risks, cap, and the odds of recovery.

      Evero and the pass rush

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yes, we played the 2nd most cover 3 in the NFL behind the Raiders.   The flats and seams are the areas you want to attack it so its soft spots are areas qbs can hit quickly which can definitely hurt the pass rush.
