And that gets us what? One great year? What happens the next year if there's a cap again?

Looking at age and ability, how many of the guys the Panthers cut were actually worth what they were making?

One great year is worth it. Ask any superbowl winner. We didn't even win the superbowl, but going to watch the Panthers play the Patriots in Houston was one of the best memories of my lifetime and Davis was one of the biggest and best FA pickups the Panthers have ever made.

Not me. I'll take one down year that sets us up to be perennial contenders over one great year followed by cap hell and mediocrity and all of us living off the past anytime.

i think 8 wins and missing the playoffs would have been worse. after game 7 or so, i was already used to loosing game after game. i accepted that we were the worst team in the league. i did have a blast at the san fran game though. it was fun as hell.

I might have a different opinion but here goes.

When comparing how the replacements did, the only FA lost that could of helped imo was jake and vincent. And I dont' think they would have helped much at all. Until QB play is better and Oline protects pass better, we would have been same place we are now with the rest of them back.

Moose old and needed upgraded before he was even let go.

Hoover same. Might be a fan favorite but come on.

Lewis could of helped this past season but the D play was good this year until injuries and getting wore out took effect.

Our LB did good this year. Diggs didn't hurt us at all.

Johnson gave us good production on the line replacing Peppers.

Godfrey was solid replacing Harris. Not like Harris didn't let people behind him the year before.

All and all, I don't think the Vet purge was as big effect talent wise as it's been made out to be. Now we did lose some leadership, how much that effected no one can measure or give good answer on.

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
