What was the boldest move this franchise has made?

[Move the Panthers to Raleigh]

For the Panthers, bold and stupid are pretty closely aligned.

I know what it will be if the towel boy on the gulf coast can put his legal issues behind him.

Took Cam Newton when people thought he was a “one year wonder” in college.

Giving Matt Rhule all that money ! Pretty ballsy

I wasn’t happy we took him at #1 mas at Luck for not coming out .. wanted PP that year.. cam surpassed expectations for me year 1 and then when he fumble in the super bowl and didn’t jump on the ball that’s when the love fair was over .. so sad still got respect for him . But glad he is gone

Trading 2 1st for Sean Gilbert

I think Thomas Davis was a great example. 

Sticking with a WR and making him the face of the franchise that physically assaulted 3 of your players in non-football scenarios was pretty bold too. 

Odds are high most teams likely part with those at some point. 

Stewart/Otah draft was pretty bold and not in a good way.

A recent example of wishing the Panthers made a bold move: For the 2020 draft, move up 2-3 spots to pick Justin Herbert even though they just signed Teddy.

I mean: 

• 2nd round pick
• FA (and former 1st round pick)
• 1st round pick
• 3rd round pick and Franchise legend
• 3rd round pick
• UDFA

They didn't neglect the position at all in terms of resources.

Drafting Clausen to put ourselves in a position to get either Andrew Luck or Cam Newton. That was some 4d chess, and you rarely see an organization make a move that ballsy today, much less have it pay off!
