DJ Moore set the franchise back YEARS by taking his helmet off.

Don't go down the rabbit hole of Matt Moore not injuring his shoulder in 2010. 

I'll do it anyway...

If Moore never injures his shoulder, the Panthers win just enough games to go down a couple of spots in the draft and miss Cam Newton.

PJ was fun to watch!  I miss him too.  Why they let him go made no sense to me.

Damn, you’re right. We could be living large with Darnold, Wilks, and DJ right now plus a good defense. This single event set in motion a chain of events that has all but destroyed Pantherdom

I won’t say it destroyed us because we could have taken Stroud and just made better picks like not DJ Johnson and Matt Corral and Mingo and so on as well.

It just put us in a position to trade up and make the wrong choice. Young could be OK and we could eventually win but it still set us back a lot because we spent so much and he doesn’t look like a stud.

It does suck to look at the picks we gave up and the selections we made and see obvious choices that were thrown out in the draft threads:

Young over Stroud

Humphrey over TMJ

Frazier over Cooks

Downs/Dell over Mingo

Cross over Iky (for pass blocking prowess)

De’Von Achane over DJ Johnson - Actually looking back at the 10 players picked right behind DJ, you will see a bunch of contributing starters. Crazy how bad we are at drafting.

Not sure who would end up at QB but could you imagine a front 7 of Star, Short, Ealy/Addison, Von Miller, Luke, TD and Shaq in 2015? Miller would have been deadly having 11 sack Short on the interior with Star. That would have been a crazy fun D to watch.

Tepper's hire of Matt Rhule did more damage to this team than any player in any game ever did.

Rhule is actually one of Tepper's better hires. Fitterer and Reich were significantly worse. Jury is out on Morgan and Canales but personally I have little hope for either of them too.

Wait why did the helmet thing hurt the panthers so bad again

Imagine if JR stayed home every Friday

Out of all the woulda-shouldas, that’s what you choose?

Yea we're not going to pick Cotchery Caught It or Kasay doesn't kick it out of bounds and get a Superbowl ring?

Matt Rhule was not a good head coach full stop end of discussion

why don’t you prove yourself right instead?  Not my job to shoot holes in a theory that doesn’t exist.

I don't disagree and my post didn't suggest otherwise. Lol. Just as bad as he was, he is still better than Tepper's other hires, with the jury on Morgan and Canales out

We have a SB trophy, Cam retires a Panther, Smitty comes back for 1 more run, no war in Ukraine, no Covid pandemic, Trump keeps to being a TV personality, Bojangles extends it business to philanthropy providing meals for the needy all over the globe, and so on
