cam doesn't need "huggers" or apologists anymore.  his résumé can do the talking and it's only going to get longer.

but, i'm sure there's that one guy trying to call out the "brady huggers" or "luck huggers" on their fan sites too

[Randolph Panther]

1. Cam

2. Luke

3. Smith

4. Peppers

5. Josh Norman

I'll take Moose or TD or Jenkins or Gross or minter or Rucker or Kalil or Gamble or even Stewart over Norman any day.  Morgan and Beason too. They all had more than one good season for us.

What you are answering is what I saw in historical vs current.  Some people only go back a few years

If the subject is Panthers draft picks while only accounting for their years with the Panthers, then Cam Newton ranks 5th.

1. Steve Smith

2. Julius Peppers

3. Jordan Gross

4. Muhsin Muhammad

5. Cam Newton

All of them have gone to and lost the Super Bowl, but clearly Newton has the worst performance of all of them in the Super Bowl. Smith, Peppers, and Gross have been to the NFC Championship game twice. They also had an exceptional 2008 season that was cut short in the post season by a terrible performance by Delhomme. Muhammad missed the 2005 season as a Panther, but returned for the 2008 run. Muhammad also has more individual success in the Super Bowl than Cam Newton.

I do believe Cam Newton will eventually surpass them all, but as of now he does not hold the best career of a player drafted by the Panthers.

If the topic is about the best season, then the answer is Cam Newton. Newton has had the 2 best individual seasons of all Panthers players who have been drafted by the Panthers.

If you want to go that route, Ed Kugbila is the only option. No one mentions him because DG has been so good at roster building it hasn't mattered.

Eric Shelton was worse by that definition of worst.

[CPantherKing]

As for worst picks over their career as a Panther I only take into account the first 3 rounds. While Corvey Irvin was the least productive of any pick in the first 3 rounds, I would say the most disappointing pick was Eric Shelton. The biggest waste of value is unquestionably Kerry Collins considering the other options available.

If you are the #1 pick in the entire draft, then you are supposed to be good.

3rd rounder Smith, as has been said, has already had a pro bowl career.  Cam might take his place in another 5 years, but Smith has to be the man at this point.

Loser draft pick?  How many fingers can we use?  Carruth has to be it.  1st rounder goes to jail.  Tim B and Peter both battled injuries but did have a little production, not much, but a little

Best: Smitty
Worst: Carruth

Combined Steve Smith and Mushin Muhammad played 24 years in Carolina.   Combine they accounted for 130 TDs in Carolina.

Cam Newton in 5 seasons has accounted for 160 TDs. 

No contest.  Cam Newton is our best draft pick no matter how it is defined.     His production is just unrivaled and his production trumps guys who already logged in more years.   Thanks to Newton our franchise has also recieved its first and only league MVP, only consecutive division titles and only consecutive playoff appearances.

Anderson had like 50 tackles and an interception one year.  Shelton carried 8 times for 23 yards.
