Worst Free Agent Loss In Panthers History.

Recommended Posts

Witherspoon had me pissed, he earned a nice contract.

Peppers had me REAL pissed, I really didn't care if he wasn't on the team anymore. I just wanted the Panthers to trade him and get SOMETHING for him instead we got a measly 3rd round compensation pick, for one of the best pass rushers in NFL history. THAT PISSES ME OFF.

Moose had me confused on why the hell he would go to Chicago with horrible QB.

moose hurt us worse than witherspoon. try again

we didn't have a 1000 yard runner after losing griffith until steven davis

even then, losing moose didn't have as big of an impact as losing griffith

I think the thing with Peppers isn't just post-Panthers production, but he was a born and raised Carolina native, #2 overall pick, and they tried repeatedly to make him the king of the franchise, and he just left everything in a big trail of fug you.

peppers ain't done poo since he left

moose didn't do poo after he left

witherspoon didn't do poo either

griffith won two superbowls and paved the way for superbowl mvp terrell davis

You should change the name of this thread to "let me tell you why HG is the worst FA loss in Panthers history and anything other than that is stupid and doesn't matter." lol

oh yeah, i was talking about actually setting the franchise back. i'm glad we're not paying peppers 20 million a season. we may not have replaced him, but he was not worth what he was asking for.

we haven't replaced peppers, we've replaced moose with smitty, we've replaced witherspoon with beason

it took us a very long time to recover from losing griffith

we had initial falloff from griffith and peppers, but guys came in pretty quickly and started producing. you have to look at the affect those guys had on our team, not their later success with other teams, as tons of variables go into success/failure on different squads.

looking at the effects of their voids on our team though? moose, hands down. ever since he left for chicago we have struggled to find a number two receiver to compliment steve smith. moose was good when he came back in 2008 but he still wasn't a prime number two. hell we still don't have one.

    • Have to stop making everything about BY. They will and have been bringing in players to improve the TEAM, not just Bryce Young. Which is something they should have done BEFORE bringing in a rookie QB. Even Metchie is a generally good pickup at a position of need. He just happens to have played with BY in college. And that doesn't hurt his chances or the team's. Morgan just addressed the biggest areas of need on the team via free agency so they won't be reaching for a position of need in the draft. He's legit picking the best player available for the TEAM in the draft. The o-line was in shambles in 2023. He addressed it in 2024. The d-line was in shambles in 2024. He addressed it in 2025. The pass rush and linebackers were in shambles in 2025. He's addressed it in 2026. Unfortunately good young WRs don't hit the FA market, so can't just throw money at them. You have to draft them. I wonder what some would be saying if they'd spent the amount of cap on the offense that they spent on the defense in 2025 and 2026 - and then used both first round draft picks on defense. Would that have been better in your eyes? No. You would be complaining that the defense is too young to compete and more vets weren't brought in because they're trying to prop up BY. This team should be talented enough now to make some noise in the South. If BY is actually holding them back, then QB will be addressed in 2027. They benched him 2 games into their tenure and you think they're tied to his success. No. That doesn't compute. They're tied to the team's success. BY could throw for 5000 yards and if they're 4 - 13, head's will roll.  TLDR: Their decisions aren't driven by making BY look good. They're trying to improve the team and win games. Period. 
    • I still firmly believe that Tepper still has his mandate of make Bryce work or get fired and because of that, it doesn't matter how badly he does... He'll get a long term deal in the 40-50m range and set back this franchise for a decade. Then the Teppers will have another QB infatuation and maybe they get it right then.
