Best 1,2 pick in Panthers history?

Just some fluff chatter while we're all still on our adrenalin highs from the realization this is our year and we're going to the SB. Was reading some articles talking about Short's dominance and it for me thinking. Have ever had a better first and second round combo than Star and Short?  You could say that Cam and no pick in the second was more critical to our success, but I can't think of a pair of first/second round actual picks that were better for us. A few years ago I would have said Beason and Kalil would be in contention. But not any more. Considering our often miserable choices in the second I can't think of any other pairs to contend with our current middle of the DL.

2010:

Round 1) Pick to San Francisco

Round 2) Jimmy Clausen

 

2009:

Round 1) Pick to Philadelphia

Round 2) Everett Brown

 

Which of these were the shittier early drafts? Jimmy is Jimmy. But Everett Brown was that tiny little speedy DE from Florida State that had a Freeney-esque spin move that just never did anything.

Yea adding third to the equation it's that year for sure. I'd still put Short and Star over Morgan and Jenkins, at least for the time being. I thought about them, but with knowledge of how it all turned out I gotta give it to the newer guys. If Short/Star end up with short stays on the Panthers it will obviously change.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
