As of right now, the Panthers only have nine players on their eighty man roster that are under six feet tall.

 

The shortest players on the team right now...

 

RB DeAngelo Williams  (5-9)

RB Kenjon Barner  (5-9)

FB Mike Tolbert  (5-9)

RB Jonathan Stewart  (5-10)

WR Kealoha Pilares  (5-10)

CB De'Andre Presley  (5-10)

CB Charles Godfrey  (5-11)

CB Josh Thomas  (5-11)

CB De'Quan Menzie  (5-11)

 

About half the list is runningbacks and about half cornerbacks.  You might notice that the sub-six crown includes only one wide receiver (Kealoha Pilares).

 

On the flipside, there are twelve players measuring in at 6'5 or higher.  They are...

 

QB Cam Newton  (6-5)

WR Kelvin Benjamin  (6-5)

TE Greg Olsen  (6-5)

T Byron Bell  (6-5)

G Phillipkeith Manley  (6-5)

DE Wes Horton  (6-5)

DE Alex Hall  (6-5)

QB Derek Anderson  (6-6)

TE D.C. Jefferson  (6-6)

T Andrew McDonald  (6-6)

T Oscar Johnson  (6-6)

T Travis Bond  (6-7)

 

The majority of the 'tallest of the tall' are linemen on one side of the ball or the other.  But also on that list you have two quarterbacks who top 6'5.  In case you're wondering, the shortest quarterback on roster right now is Matt Blanchard, who stands 6'3.  You'll also see two tight ends listed.  There are currently six tight ends on roster, and the only one who stands shorter than 6'4 is TE/FB tweener Richie Brockel (6'1).

 

So a dozen guys 6'5 and up.  And - without listing them all - to that you can add eleven guys who stand 6'3 and sixteen who measure in at 6'4.  That totals thirty-nine total players at 6'3 and up, right at half the existing roster.

 

I haven't done a study of average height across the league, but I think it's fairly safe to say that as far as the Panthers go, the team braintrust seems to have a preference for guys on the top end of the height chart.

 

You might want to add Benwikere to that list.

Gaffney is 5'11

 

Not on the site roster, he isn't.

 

 

I suppose he could have grown since the Combine. :lol:  Some sites have him at 5'10 aand 3/4 inches, so he is on the "wrong" side of 5'11".  That vertical though...    

 

I went by the team roster for measurements.

 

I'm sure they wouldn't fudge :unsure:

Because team sites don't lie about player heights at all right? Manziel was totally 6'1 at A&M. You are smarter than that. Come on

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
