1. The failure to bring a capable young QB in the organization when we had a stable vet in Delhomme he could learn from. Most Panthers fan were beating off when he brought Carr here. By the end of last season everyone was crowning Moore the messiah. Hindsight is 20/20, ain't it?

2. Trading our future 2nd rounder for New Englands 3rd rounder to draft Armanti Edwards. I'm going to act like you're not actually passing judgment on a ROOKIE who Fox obviously has no interest in developing or giving opportunities to

3. Trading our future 1st rounder for Everette Brown, I will say this wasn't as bad as it could have been because we did get an extra fourth to take Goodson but this just leads me to my next point. Still too early to pass judgment on Brown, but he's definitely improving. I'm not sure what the big problem with this is. Peppers was on the way out and we were going to need help at DE. So we made the moves we needed to to bring in a highly touted DE prospect. We didn't over-draft Brown. Also, Goodson could be a starting RB so, as long as Brown continues to progress this actually looks pretty damn good to me.

4. Trading multiple mid rounds picks for worthless DTs, we should have had depth at DT and could have used those picks to try and find a diamond in the rough like Goodson. Leonard and Tyler actually did their part when we brought them in. Along with Hollis, these guys played pretty well and were the stop-gap that we needed them to be. My biggest issue with how we've dealt with the DT position is letting Damione Lewis go, but I'll agree with you that we haven't handled DT very well.

5. Failing to get anything back for Julius Peppers. This isn't rec league soccer. Not everyone gets a reward. We're not entitled to be rewarded every time a player leaves. Also, no one was going to spend the money it would require to get him while he was under the Franchise Tag.

6. Failed to sell high on Steve Smith and now we are facing a situation where we will be lucky to get a 4th round pick for him. Still no solid evidence whatsoever that Smith even asked for a trade or that that scenario is even a possibility. That said, early in the season when we could have "sold high," we still thought Moore was our QB and that Clausen had potential. I know everyone expects the GM to have a Crystal Ball but there was no way to know that Smith would want out (if he does). If he doesn't want out, then you effing keep your best player, especially when we have no playmakers at WR to fill his spot.

7. Compound those last two with the DWill situation which hasn't happened yet but I fear he will leave and we will get nothing based on past experience. Again, we're not entitled to be compensated. I think we'll resign the guy, but if we don't, what's the big deal? We have three strong RB's behind him.

8. Failing to bring in a legit 2nd WR for all the years that we had Steve Smith in his prime. Look at an organization like the Ravens who had nothing at WR then in one offseason they bring in Boldin, Housh and Stallworth. We failed to capitalize on the peak years of our GOAT offensive player because of personel decisions. Granted. We've poo the bed trying to get a #2 Receiver in here.

I disagree.Going back to resigning Morgan and letting Spoon go after Morgan had multiple concussions.T Davis was a high first round pick that we could not decide if he was a safety or LB until after one season.E Brown was a first round pick that still cannot start on our medicore line.Chris gamble is not elite as many 3rd and 5th round picks.A Edwards is a second round pick go figure.I am not saying he has not picked some good players but all things considered we have high picks that should make an imediate impact and they failed to do that.Rounds 1 through 3 should make an imediate impact except for maybe a qb

Smitty, Witherspoon, Wharton, Manning, Godfrey, Johnson, Anderson, Beason, Davis, D. Williams, Stewart, Otah, Kalil, Gross, Gamble. Wtf else could you want out of round 1-3?

No team in league history went 1-15 before the panthers. Now it seems that dose not even secure you the #1 pick in the draft anymore.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.

      I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
