LOSERS

By Gregg Rosenthal

NBCSports.com

Carolina

They mortgaged yet another future pick, sending a 2011 second-rounder to convert quarterback Armanti Edwards into receiver. They are paying Jake Delhomme huge money this season, but had to spend two picks at quarterback to replace him. Third-round wideout Brandon LaFell also was taken to fill a gaping hole. This is a team drafting for need based on bad mistakes. That type of short-term thinking gets people fired.

Matt Moore

Carolina’s starting quarterback watched the Panthers draft competition in Jimmy Clausen in the second round. And then Tony Pike joined the party in the sixth round. With John Fox’s job on the line, very little is certain about the Panthers in 2010. That includes their Week 6 starting quarterback.

well, he was right about it being a mistake to give jake all that money. he was inconsistent throughout his whole career. never should've gotten a big long-term deal. his age alone should've prevented that. one of the biggest goof-ups in panther history. we should've been looking for a quality starter long ago. it was only by luck matt moore recently blossomed. we weren't expecting him to be that good.

Did anyone think it would be a good idea to give Jake all that money? I don't think it took a rocket scientist to figure that one out.

jake was given that contract so we could stay under the salaray cap.

and a lot of us were expected matt moore to be THAT good. (maybe not on this board, but on the scout one, most definitely.)

if the panthers start winning these same people will say how great they are a drafting and taking gambles that pay off

panthers have been one of footballs winningest organizations since john fox came to town. if we win, its either caz of lucky, an easy schedule or paying off the refs. media cats will do anything to keep us from being recognized.

      If you could add one player from any team in the NFL to the 2025 Panthers to make them Super Bowl contenders, who would it be?

      Neither Barkley nor even a healthy CMC would move the needle much for us. Those are guys that impact teams that already have impressive overall offenses and defenses, so they can perform the complimentary roles that make them actually valuable. We should know that specifically because CMC almost never moved the needle on bad Panthers team after bad Panthers team. Ask Giants fans about that with Saquon.

      I would generally disagree. You see a lot more load management than previously but that is because being healthy in the playoffs is such a key factor. Different philosophies in that regard than previous generations.  Baseball really doesn't matter until at least halfway through the season. I am not gonna say they don't play hard but the physical demands are infinitesimal in the MLB in comparison to basically any other major pro sport.  People dislike all the shooting these days but that's a direct correlation with how much the overall skill level of the average NBA player has drastically risen over the past 15ish years. There are other aggravating factors, certainly, but that is the biggest one in terms of playing style differences. So many of the guys from the 80's and 90's wouldn't even be able to play in the modern NBA at all. The biggest problem the NBA has with the American market(they are the only US sport that has any real international appeal or interest, minus the NHL) is that they are so steadily corrupt and fix the systems against the small market teams. Well, you eventually lose a big chunk of the league viewership/potential viewership in the process. Take the very obviously fixed NBA draft lotteries. Superstar and upper tier star players rarely want to play for small market teams, nor can they usually afford to pay them. So how do you expect them to possibly compete in that environment?
