Is this the most talented* Panthers team ever?

I think it’s a fair question at this point. Putting stats like win loss to the side I think on paper it could be. It’s a tough one tho. I think Cam would be the most talented Qb we have ever had so he has to be apart of whatever greatest team we had. Stew and deangelo double trouble era would trump CMC but, Christian is no slouch and makes this not a weakness. I say this is definately the most talented WR core ever and it’s not really debatable(all respect to smitty Moose and prohel). 

Offensive line is a mixed bag as well, Gross  and Khalil in their primes with a few solid guys mixed in were definately better than what we have now but, young guys Moton, Trai, And Williams apon return make up some slack. Defensive line is a lost cause, we have Fielded some mean dlinemen in our day as early as 3 years ago one of the most feared in league so I’m gonna day no. Short deserves his praise and does an aging legend peppers who takes over whenever he feels the need. 

Linebacks right now are as good or better than ever seeing as Davis and Luke are still getting it done with Shaq to boot. Tho I do wanna mention beason, Davis and young Luke(you can add dan Morgan of course. Secondary is tough, this isn’t our best secondary unit, I would say Gamble was a shut down corner during his hay day and with sidekicks on his side you could pick a unit from his day. Bradberry and a young promising Jackson don’t just make this a lost cause tho, add in a  solid Eric Berry and we’re ok.

special teams is also a push while I hve great respect for kasay and what he’s done Gano has been very solid and made the position not a issue pars is solid as well.. hate to end so quickly but I’m on the clock and wanted to get some feed back. What say you?

What really matters, 10 yrs from now you won't tell a Saints or Rams fan how talented our team was. 

That’s true, but this is a discussion amongst fans who have lived every moment of this teams inception and has never won a super bowl so it is a fair conversation.

2013 squad was pretty damn talented. Still can’t believe Anquan Boldin got away with so many no calls that game. Still think that was a suberbowl squad if we didn’t get hosed by the refs.

Both 2013 and 2015 ended with really brutal games with questionable officiating. Almost identical scores, too.

    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
    • I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
