All-time worst Panther starters?


Cyberjag

Recommended Posts

There's an entertaining thread on this at Reddit, where you choose your team's all time worst starting line-up.  The only condition is that you have to choose players who actually started enough games to be considered a starter (so Brian St. Pierre is out, but Clausen's in play).

 

What do you think the Panthers would be?

A defense that would make any offense look good...

DE: Jason Peter, Chuck Wiley

DT: Nick Hayden, Sione Fua

LB: Lester Towns, Na'il Diggs, Hannibal Navies

CB: Sherrod Martin, Rashard Anderson

FS: Haruki Nakamura

SS: Damien Richardson

I think Martin would have done well as a CB tbh. He was too weak and soft to play safety but he was okay in coverage. He struggled in tackling and run support.

Worst DE is probably Ray Seals. We signed him as a free agent in 97 (if I remember correctly) and he was terrible.

 

He was good in Pittsburgh, but he was around 100 years old by the time he got to Carolina.  Which makes me think of another topic that I've often wondered about, and that's how good Capers was when he wasn't in charge of personnel and just focused on coaching.

In no particular order:

 

QB - Jimmy Clausen (goes without saying)

HB - Lamar Smith/2005 Stephen Davis (both averaged 3.5 YPC)

WR - D.J. Hackett, Rae Carruth, Louis Murphy, Dwayne Jarrett

LT/RT - Byron Bell

DE - Jason Peters

DT - Sione Fua, Ron Edwards

K - Justin Medlock
KR/PR - Joe Adams

    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.  
    • I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
    • I hate Marchand, but if he became a free agent.....
