You have a magic wand. You can fix ONE thing about the Panthers. What do you do?

Most will probably say to fire Rivera and/or Shula. I get that and that's probably my #2 choice. Me personally? I won't get into it much again because I've beat it to death this week, but I'd wave that wand and turn Cam Newton into an average to above average quarterback in the 4th. I think that could have masked a lot of Ron Rivera's weaknesses and could likely still be an issue under the next coach in 2014.

 

How about you?

I'd trade the Panthers fanbase for a bunch of sqawking monkeys. Thread quality would improve 10000%

so replace the current fanbase who is unhappy with being a perrinial losing team with a bunch of fans who just don't know any better.

 

makes sense.

make rivera and  shula into coaches that are  good problem solving and great strategic planners and who can adapt and adjust to defeat any wrinkles thrown at them and who can manage close games without giving the game away.

 This right here is golden!

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
