1st - Kelvin Benjamin (traded)
2nd - Kony Ealy (cut)
3rd - Trai Turner (Pro Bowler)
4th - Tre Boston (cut)
5th - Bené Benwikere (cut)
6th - Tyler Gaffney (never played a down)

One Pro-Bowler, one pretty good wideout, three bit players (at best) and one player who never played a down. Not a great draft.

You can't fault DG for the next terrible GM trading away a great player. Ealy wasn't cut either but was ultimately a risk reward pick that didn't work out and you can blame DG for that. Boston and Benwikere contributed to success for us, that's more than can be said for the large majority of 4th and 5th round picks. And who's to say Bene wouldn't still be here and/or contributing in the league if he didn't have that brutal broken leg? Boston ain't so bad in LA either.

KB wasn't great and he wasn't getting a second contract here anyway.

Yea, Carolina hasn’t had a great GM ever. I don’t trust JR to hire us one this offseason, either. Gettleman was a conservative gm, an a**hole who’s drafts look pretty bad as each day passes. He was just good at managing the cap of the players here, and picking up a low risk player every once in awhile. With him, around here, the mantra was always, “we’re building for the future” “who would you rather have, ‘such and such free agent or “name in current panther who’s due a contract”. That was repeated every year, while we never saw any sustained success.

Hurneys just trash, and has no business being a GM. 

All starts with the top, though.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we do still have at least one Hurney apologist on board. 

This is the type of sh*t i’m talking about when I say the Huddle has a stance on Gettleman. Anything short of literally kissing his ass is Hurney apologism, apparently.

Lest we not forget our current acting GMs great ones

2011

1st: Cam- obvious good but hard to choke the #1 pick away from a class that has a potential 7 HOF draftes in the top 11 that year

 

2nd (33rd pick): traded away the year before for Armanti

3rd: Terrell McClain- lasted 1 season on the team

3rd (#2): Fua- lasted 2 years on the team

4th: Bradon Hogan- lasted 1 year on team

5th: Kealoha Pilares- lasted 2 seasons

6th: Lawerence Wilson-practice squad rookie season, realeased halfway through the season

6th (#2): Zachary Williams- 1 season then to arena league

7th: Lee Ziemba- 1 season

Blah blah I like my FUPA man he is always right but that coach Rivera who led us to the SB appearance an fielding top 10 Defense  is is poo  even though  FUPA man limited the offense with minimum investment

      You don’t even need 1b because Tepper is the only one foolish enough to wheel that deal.    Player wise? Jake’s elbow. JR and Pep getting sideways, no Carruth, Cam’s shoulder, Luke’s concussions, it would be a long list of stuff. You can take it down to certain plays in games. Fox chasing 2 point conversions in the SB would be on my list. RMJr slipping at the end of that same game was not helpful.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By frankw · Posted

      Ultimately this just amounts to heavy revisionist history. I mean you aren't talking to someone that just popped out the womb a week ago. I was here all throughout the predraft process. The overwhelming majority of the fanbase felt like this was a fine situation and the best situation for a rookie QB to go to compared to Houston for example. The hype for Young and our "rockstar" staff was off the charts. No one could dare speak cautious skepticism of his abilities or they would be neg repped into oblivion. Only after he had one of statistical worst rookie seasons of the last 25 years did we get this narrative now that his rookie season actually shouldn't count. Complete malarkey if you ask me.

      On the field? Since I guess it qualifies as multiple instances it might not count, but have the damn refs throw some flags on illegal hits to Cam's head in SB50. If that doesn't count, 1A. Cotchery caught it 1B. Kasey keeps that kickoff inbounds. Off the field? 1A. Team is sold to anyone but Tepper 1B. We have the patience not to mortgage the franchise on that Bryce trade. Stroudwpuldve been the better pick but he's not worth it either.
