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.

    • Not sure why everyone keeps talking about the Panthers paying him $50M/year. I don't recall anyone EVER saying he deserves that. I think something like what the Dolphins signed Malik Willis to would be good: 3 years, $67.5M but it will probably be something along the lines of Mayfield or Darnold which is around $35M/year.
    • Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.   
    • I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?
