DJ Moore set the franchise back YEARS by taking his helmet off.

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

I won’t say it destroyed us because we could have taken Stroud and just made better picks like not DJ Johnson and Matt Corral and Mingo and so on as well.

It just put us in a position to trade up and make the wrong choice. Young could be OK and we could eventually win but it still set us back a lot because we spent so much and he doesn’t look like a stud.

It does suck to look at the picks we gave up and the selections we made and see obvious choices that were thrown out in the draft threads:

Young over Stroud

Humphrey over TMJ

Frazier over Cooks

Downs/Dell over Mingo

Cross over Iky (for pass blocking prowess)

De’Von Achane over DJ Johnson - Actually looking back at the 10 players picked right behind DJ, you will see a bunch of contributing starters. Crazy how bad we are at drafting.

Don't go down the rabbit hole of Matt Moore not injuring his shoulder in 2010. 

I'll do it anyway...

If Moore never injures his shoulder, the Panthers win just enough games to go down a couple of spots in the draft and miss Cam Newton.

Not sure who would end up at QB but could you imagine a front 7 of Star, Short, Ealy/Addison, Von Miller, Luke, TD and Shaq in 2015? Miller would have been deadly having 11 sack Short on the interior with Star. That would have been a crazy fun D to watch.

Tepper's hire of Matt Rhule did more damage to this team than any player in any game ever did.

Rhule is actually one of Tepper's better hires. Fitterer and Reich were significantly worse. Jury is out on Morgan and Canales but personally I have little hope for either of them too.

Matt Rhule was not a good head coach full stop end of discussion

I don't disagree and my post didn't suggest otherwise. Lol. Just as bad as he was, he is still better than Tepper's other hires, with the jury on Morgan and Canales out

Imagine if JR stayed home every Friday

We have a SB trophy, Cam retires a Panther, Smitty comes back for 1 more run, no war in Ukraine, no Covid pandemic, Trump keeps to being a TV personality, Bojangles extends it business to philanthropy providing meals for the needy all over the globe, and so on

Yea we're not going to pick Cotchery Caught It or Kasay doesn't kick it out of bounds and get a Superbowl ring? 

In retrospect, knowing who Tom Brady always has been, do you think an extra 20 yards would have really denied him from field goal range in a Super Bowl?

 

Cotchery on the other hand. If they get that call right, the sack/fumble never happens.

If Tommy Jone never happens, then there is never a Matt Moore

    • Nah you are just haven't watched all of the playoffs....   And im referring the playoffs were hes currently sitting at .895 % and over 3 gaa    But again gotta beat the best.   Those of you who are gonna act like chicken littles before a matchup is even decided lol
    • No, I don't root for drops to be what loses a game, especially from a player who has/had drop issues, as that's not showing improvement. And no, I don't resent it if they win, just as I don't "celebrate" if we lose either.  But I don't get upset if we lose because I know it's for the best for our future, just like I don't go running through the streets celebrating a meaningless December win that doesn't do anything other than hurt our draft stock in a lost season. In a year like last year and this next year, where we've put considerable assets into the offense at the expense of our defense to be fixed later, something both fans and the team themselves know, as you can only add so many players in any given offseason.  Then I'm looking for us to click offensively, have everyone looking better than the year before and show growth.   But then the side of our team we know is a weakness, to be the reason we lose in a high scoring game.  Give me Bryce going down and taking a 2 point lead with 2-3 minutes left in the game, but then our defense almost holding the other team from getting into scoring position and they end up needing a 55 yard FG to win the game and beat us. That can happen while our young defensive players show tons of promise, but still have one or two too many holes and/or just inexperience that it costs us games in the end, but it's still a successful season of growth and improvement. Or even better, just look great on both sides in a close game and end up getting totally screwed by the refs with a bad late call that hands them the game. And again, those are the kinds of things I'm wanting to see happen once it's already a lost season.   And I'm only saying I'd rather not make the playoffs when the alternate scenario is making but losing in the first round. Because those are the scenarios where we improve as a team, get better draft picks, and an easier schedule the next year.  You then use the cap space and higher draft picks to fill the remaining defensive holes with impact players and you're then cooking with gas in that next season and have real potential.
