1. The failure to bring a capable young QB in the organization when we had a stable vet in Delhomme he could learn from. Most Panthers fan were beating off when he brought Carr here. By the end of last season everyone was crowning Moore the messiah. Hindsight is 20/20, ain't it?

2. Trading our future 2nd rounder for New Englands 3rd rounder to draft Armanti Edwards. I'm going to act like you're not actually passing judgment on a ROOKIE who Fox obviously has no interest in developing or giving opportunities to

3. Trading our future 1st rounder for Everette Brown, I will say this wasn't as bad as it could have been because we did get an extra fourth to take Goodson but this just leads me to my next point. Still too early to pass judgment on Brown, but he's definitely improving. I'm not sure what the big problem with this is. Peppers was on the way out and we were going to need help at DE. So we made the moves we needed to to bring in a highly touted DE prospect. We didn't over-draft Brown. Also, Goodson could be a starting RB so, as long as Brown continues to progress this actually looks pretty damn good to me.

4. Trading multiple mid rounds picks for worthless DTs, we should have had depth at DT and could have used those picks to try and find a diamond in the rough like Goodson. Leonard and Tyler actually did their part when we brought them in. Along with Hollis, these guys played pretty well and were the stop-gap that we needed them to be. My biggest issue with how we've dealt with the DT position is letting Damione Lewis go, but I'll agree with you that we haven't handled DT very well.

5. Failing to get anything back for Julius Peppers. This isn't rec league soccer. Not everyone gets a reward. We're not entitled to be rewarded every time a player leaves. Also, no one was going to spend the money it would require to get him while he was under the Franchise Tag.

6. Failed to sell high on Steve Smith and now we are facing a situation where we will be lucky to get a 4th round pick for him. Still no solid evidence whatsoever that Smith even asked for a trade or that that scenario is even a possibility. That said, early in the season when we could have "sold high," we still thought Moore was our QB and that Clausen had potential. I know everyone expects the GM to have a Crystal Ball but there was no way to know that Smith would want out (if he does). If he doesn't want out, then you effing keep your best player, especially when we have no playmakers at WR to fill his spot.

7. Compound those last two with the DWill situation which hasn't happened yet but I fear he will leave and we will get nothing based on past experience. Again, we're not entitled to be compensated. I think we'll resign the guy, but if we don't, what's the big deal? We have three strong RB's behind him.

8. Failing to bring in a legit 2nd WR for all the years that we had Steve Smith in his prime. Look at an organization like the Ravens who had nothing at WR then in one offseason they bring in Boldin, Housh and Stallworth. We failed to capitalize on the peak years of our GOAT offensive player because of personel decisions. Granted. We've poo the bed trying to get a #2 Receiver in here.

I disagree.Going back to resigning Morgan and letting Spoon go after Morgan had multiple concussions.T Davis was a high first round pick that we could not decide if he was a safety or LB until after one season.E Brown was a first round pick that still cannot start on our medicore line.Chris gamble is not elite as many 3rd and 5th round picks.A Edwards is a second round pick go figure.I am not saying he has not picked some good players but all things considered we have high picks that should make an imediate impact and they failed to do that.Rounds 1 through 3 should make an imediate impact except for maybe a qb

Smitty, Witherspoon, Wharton, Manning, Godfrey, Johnson, Anderson, Beason, Davis, D. Williams, Stewart, Otah, Kalil, Gross, Gamble. Wtf else could you want out of round 1-3?

No team in league history went 1-15 before the panthers. Now it seems that dose not even secure you the #1 pick in the draft anymore.

      That's what I meant when I said would rather have that kind of player on a rookie deal. Vs a guy coming off of it is what I didn't say. Again, if the team wasn't in such need of meaningful talent then overpaying a little for an older blocking TE the coach could trust wouldn't be unusual. Giving up more than 1 pick is just dumb given the situation for us tho and there is still repairing what that last cap guy did before they can hit normal opperating IMO. Spending money like the peak Saints with so little talent was not a good combo.

      We need 2 tes if we don't resign tremble.  And Mayer is a several year vet so it's not like we'd have 3 rookies in the te room.  Just spitballin here

      I’ve been holding out on this because I knew I would just be called a homer. I’m sure some will still say I am and that we shouldn’t care about the underwear Olympics without seeing the tape. That being said…. this guy is an absolute freak. 6’3 220, 43” vertical, and 4.38 unofficial 40. And I can tell you I am not surprised in the slightest by following him since he was an under recruited high schooler putting up 232 tackles, 4 sacks, and 8 forced fumbles his senior year of high school (ONE YEAR!). He developed into the leader on the defense and was always the one making clutch plays.  He is going to be the Luke Kuechly for a defense at safety for a decade. I expect some team will draft him top 15, maybe even top 10. I go back and forth on whether you use a top 10 pick on a safety but at the end of the day, I think you pick a superstar no matter what position. I would prefer us get a top pass rusher or maybe even WR but I would be thrilled to land Nick E if we don’t get one of those guys. Would much rather have him over a guy like Jaylon Walker who is super intriguing but doesn’t have the production to back it up.
